Overview

CPCC offers Cisco Duo, a leading multi-factor authentication solution, to help organizations strengthen access security across their IT environments.

Traditional usernames and passwords alone are no longer enough to protect business systems and sensitive information. Cisco Duo adds a second layer of identity verification before users can access applications, networks, and data.

  • Stops unauthorized access
  • Works with cloud and on-prem systems
  • Easy for employees to use
  • Supports compliance goals

What Cisco Duo Does

Cisco Duo protects businesses by requiring users to verify their identity with more than just a password. Users confirm access with a second factor, such as a smartphone, passcode, or hardware token.

This dramatically reduces the risk of compromised credentials being used to access sensitive systems.

How Cisco Duo Works

User Enrollment

Each employee is enrolled using a smartphone, tablet, or hardware token.

User Login Attempt

The user enters their username and password to access a protected application or system.

Second Factor Verification

Duo prompts the user to verify the login using:

  • Push notification in Duo Mobile
  • One-time passcode
  • Phone call verification

Access Granted or Blocked

If verification is approved, access is granted. If it fails or is denied, the login is blocked.

Identify and fix vulnerabilities before attackers can strike.
