Duo SecurityMulti-Factor Authentication
Phishing-Resistant MFA

Your MFA Is Already Bypassed

Attackers are evading traditional multi-factor authentication with phishing kits, SIM swaps, and push fatigue. Duo Security closes the gap with phishing-resistant MFA that verifies the person, not just the device.

The Problem

Traditional MFA No Longer Holds

Attackers have moved past stolen passwords. They now target the second factor itself, exploiting every weakness in conventional MFA deployments.

Phishing Kits

Adversary-in-the-middle proxies intercept one-time passcodes in real time. The code reaches the attacker before it expires.

Push Fatigue

Users approve repeated login prompts just to stop the buzzing. A single tap hands the attacker a valid session.

SIM Swaps

Carriers transfer phone numbers to attacker-controlled devices. SMS and voice codes route straight to the threat actor.

Capabilities

See More. Stop More.

Duo goes beyond the second factor with layered identity security that adapts to risk in real time.

Phishing-Resistant Authentication

Cryptographic device binding verifies origin and session integrity. No shared secret ever crosses the wire, so intercepted codes are useless to attackers.

Risk-Based Access

Device health, geo, and network signals adjust trust per login. Anomalous sessions get stepped up or blocked automatically.

Duo Directory

Centralize identity without ripping out existing directories. Broker access from sources you already run.

Device Visibility

See every managed and unmanaged device touching your apps. Block access from out-of-compliant hardware.

Single Sign-On Integration

Connect Duo to your SSO provider for one consistent layer of phishing-resistant verification across every application.
