Frustrate Attackers, Not Users with Risk-Based Authentication

Ensure Each Device is Healthy and Compliant

Duo Advantage includes our Device Health check policies to ensure that all devices that access your company network or applications are safe and meet your organization’s security requirements — all before granting access. For laptops and desktops, Duo Device Health application checks and enforces requirements for OS and patch versions, browser and java versions, as well as the status of security settings such as password, disk encryption and host firewall. For mobile devices, Duo Mobile application checks and enforces requirements for OS versions and security settings such as screenlock and jailbroken status.

With Duo’s robust adaptive access policies, Duo Advantage administrators can assign and enforce policies either globally, per-application or per-user group. Admins can create user groups based on user location, device health or network.
