Multifactor Authentication (MFA)
CybersecuritySecurity Access Management
What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
MFA is a security access management solution that verifies a user’s identity at login with two or more verification factors. By providing a layer of protection to a user or company’s data, MFA helps to prevent malware, phishing, and ransomware attacks. With Cisco Duo, MFA is easier than ever to integrate, implement, and use.
What Does Multi-Factor Authentication Do?
Our MFA product combines multiple factors of authentication to provide robust security that is flexible for users but rigid against threat. The interface provides a fast, non-disruptive and simple authentication experience, helping users focus their time on what matters most.
What is the Best Multi-Factor Authentication?
Not every MFA solution is the same. Some vendors only provide the bare minimum needed to meet compliance requirements — and include lots of hidden costs required for deployment, operation, and maintenance. Plus, many traditional solutions are clunky and error-prone, and require extensive user training and support.
What are the Benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication?
Frustrate Attackers, Not Users
We’re the easiest MFA solution for users and administrators.
Deploy MFA Quickly and Easily
Finally—a multi-factor authentication solution that isn’t a pain in the neck to roll out. It can be added to any existing environment or platform, and its self-enrollment feature makes it easy for users to get set up.
Expand Your Coverage
Our MFA solution natively integrates to secure any application or platform, so whether you’re adding two-factor authentication (2FA) to meet compliance goals or building a full zero trust framework, this is the perfect addition to your security portfolio with tools like:
- Multi-cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments
- Software as a service (SaaS) tools, critical infrastructure, custom applications, even secure shell (SSH)
- Secure remote access and VPN clients, bring your own device (BYOD), and even offline devices
Get Adaptive Authentication
Our adaptive authentication is an advanced type of MFA that lets you create custom access policies based on contextual factors like role, application, geographic location, network, and device health.
Build a Foundation for Passwordless
Our solution builds on MFA to verify user identity with login tools like biometrics, security keys, and a mobile app. Users only have to verify once in a timeframe set by administrators, making it simpler than ever to log on securely.
Scale MFA as You Grow
Because our MFA functions like a gateway for your existing and future IT infrastructure, it’s the perfect solution for growing businesses of any size. Set up new users and support new devices at any time, and protect new applications almost instantly — without impacting legacy technology.
