Answered: Tariq Taqieddin on January 28, 2026 Duo Security, now part of Cisco, is primarily used to strengthen access security through multi-factor authentication (MFA) and identity protection. Organizations deploy it to verify that the person logging in is who they claim to be and that the device they’re using is secure before granting access to applications, networks, or sensitive data. It works by adding an extra step to the login process—beyond just a password—such as approving a push notification on a mobile device or entering a code. This helps prevent unauthorized access even if credentials are stolen. Duo also supports a Zero Trust approach, meaning it continuously checks user identity and device health, ensuring that only trusted users and devices can connect. Businesses across industries like healthcare, finance, education, and government use Duo to reduce the risk of breaches, protect against phishing attacks, and comply with security regulations.
