Cisco Duo for our cybersecurity initiatives and security needs

We use Duo Security for our remote access workers. We implemented Duo to comply with our cybersecurity initiatives. We plan to utilize it for more of our Cloud based apps. Currently it is implemented on our VDI Environment.

The main benefit is keeping customers and staying on an approved vendor list. We have found that more and more of our clients are requiring more stringent cybersecurity policies to be allowed to work for them. MFA is one major requirement for access[ing] company and client data. Without it we will lose our customer base. We are finding it is a game changer when it comes to meeting the cybersecurity requirements of a client.

Getting the correct equipment to the employees, identifying the security concerns per employee. Sharing the same internet connection between work and personal family connectivity

Very positive. With DUO we can let a user work remotely and ensure the security with MFA and enforce policies.

The difficulties training employees on how to securely work in a remote environment. enforcing the correct equipment to use, laptops, desktops, etc. Implementing End Point management, and the biggest struggle is allowing BYOD equipment.

As a Law firm security is vital. We developed a cybersecurity plan around industry standards using MFA, end point managements and on-going employee training. We believe training is the key to success. You can implement every security software solution on the market, but if the employee is not properly trained on identifying cybersecurity risks, nothing will be successful.

Cisco is a leader in the industry for many years. Security is one of their traits. Working with Cisco will help ensure your cybersecurity goals are addressed. Nothing is 100% perfect, and it take a layered approach of multiple security products to be successful and Cisco and assist.

We choose Cisco DUO based on Brand Reliability, Support, functionality and customer reviews of the product.

Hopefully AI will improve the individual products we use to secure our environment. Threat Actors are using AI to circumvent the safe guards in place, so it will take AI to implement quick fixes and ensure AI is not used against the secure environment.

We currently do not use predictive threat analysis

We are at the beginning phase of this implementation. End point management/protections is critical. Dual Factor Authentication is also key. But Employee taring is vital to the success. The weakest link is most always the lack of training for the employee. We must ensure every employee Thinks before they click! They need to identify suspicious links, SPAM Emails, and if they are unsure for any reason, power off thier computers and call support immediately

We choose Cisco for the Support. Many other products support solutions are poor or sub-par in our opinion, every product will run into issues form time to time, If the Support options are poor, or takes days to address that is lost time and money. Cisco support options are best in class

The ability to anticipate and recover from adverse conditions, attacks, or compromises on our systems

Aside form the industry standards, such as MFA, end point management, or any secure software solution, the most important thing is to address the weakest link. The Weakest Link are untrained employees. Training employees should be at the top of the list.

We had an issue replacing a mobile device. I did struggle a bit trying to figure out how to get a new device with the same mobile number working for an employee. I went down the wrong path and called support and they quickly assisted me and got the user working within minutes of the call.

We purchased DUO and ensure support was included. We believe Support from the vendor is critical when dealing with non-standard issue that arise.

Plan properly, get with the right technical staff and train any staff members as required for a smooth implementation
