MFA for Small to Medium Business Security

When your business grows, so do the security challenges. Maybe you're expanding your remote workforce, stepping into new, compliance-heavy markets, or simply handling more customer data. While your company's opportunities multiply, your IT resources might still be catching up to these new demands. With Cisco Duo, small and medium businesses gain enterprise-grade multi-factor authentication without the need for a full security team. Duo simplifies secure access with solutions like single sign-on and two-factor authentication, allowing you to focus on business growth while Duo handles the security.

Cisco Duo's Automated Security Features


User-Friendly Compliance Management

Cisco Duo streamlines compliance by monitoring each device’s security posture, whether personal or managed. If a device is out of compliance, Duo guides users through updates to restore access—without adding to IT’s workload. Keep security tight and users productive with minimal help desk involvement.

Phishing-Resistant MFA

Cisco Duo leverages FIDO2 authentication, removing passwords and using trusted credentials like biometrics and secure devices. This approach stops phishing attempts by verifying only trusted users, adding a layer of protection against MFA fatigue and push attacks to keep your business secure.

Self-Service Setup Made Simple

End-users receive a quick start guide via email to download and set up the Duo Mobile App independently. Should device health issues or password resets arise, Duo provides users with clear, step-by-step instructions to restore access—no Help Desk required. This self-service setup saves time and reduces IT strain.

Proactively Monitor with Reports and Alerts

Duo offers in-depth authentication insights and AI-driven analytics to help you track security activity across your IT environment. Detailed reports aid in compliance, while Duo’s alerts notify you of unusual login patterns, enabling proactive responses to potential threats.
