Cisco Duo provides the only security-first Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution built from the ground up to protect organizations from identity-based threats. Unlike traditional IAM solutions, Duo integrates all necessary components to serve as the sole IAM platform, while operating as a unified defense layer across your existing identity infrastructure.

Leveraging Identity Intelligence, Duo delivers deep, cross-platform identity visibility. It employs AI to analyze identity context from multiple sources across your ecosystem, ensuring continuous monitoring and proactive responses to identity threats before, during, and after login. To defend the entire authentication chain from advanced threats, Duo provides robust end-to-end phishing resistance that’s easily deployable without the need for additional hardware or complex implementations.

A Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact report for Duo IAM, found that Duo delivers significant value. Providing a 198% ROI, $6.6 million in benefits, and $4.4 million in net present value for a 10,000-employee organization, with payback in less than six months. Security improvements included a 60% reduction in credential-related breach costs and $1.6 million in risk reduction. Duo also drove $4.7 million in productivity gains and $600,000 in annual operational savings through simplified logins, easy integration, and automation. Innovations like passwordless authentication and AI-powered insights further strengthened security and reduced administrative burden.

By integrating security from the outset, Duo IAM significantly lowers your total cost of ownership for identity management. It provides a world-class access experience for end users while simplifying implementation and management for administrators
