Product Brief
Secure Access with Cisco Duo
User authentication poses one of the biggest risks to your cybersecurity.
IT managers can’t protect their networks without also protecting the ways users access them. Consistent, secure authentication has become essential for cybersecurity as employees rely on more credentials to take advantage of cloud applications, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and remote work.
Secure Access with Cisco Duo from Spectrum Enterprise® can help protect your organization from unauthorized access to sensitive systems, regulatory violations and data loss that can disrupt your business. Capabilities that include multi-factor authentication (MFA) and identity management allow IT to set access policies by user and device, regardless of location. Cloud and distributed architectures become easier to implement for resource-constrained IT teams. The solution delivers a streamlined, consistent experience for employees using cloud resources and virtual private networks.

- Admin portal: View and manage access for all users and devices — including BYOD endpoints — in a single dashboard and monitor their usage for security risks.
