Topic 3: DUO two-factor authentication

As cybersecurity tools become more sophisticated, hackers shift toward targeting users, not computers. If a hacker can discover an authorized users password, theyre far less likely to sound any alarms as they access the universitys data and resources. It is the time the ways we authenticate begin to catch up with modern needs. Multifactor authentication is a key piece to that puzzle.

Duo Security is a multifactor authentication service that provides additional security for access to institutional and personal data. Duo offers several options for authenticating users: a mobile push notification, one-button verification of identity to a smartphone, as well as voice and SMS verification.

DUO is one of the most popular security services. Investigate what universities and companies are using this system. Describe and evaluate the use cases. Some user cases can be found at https://www.techvalidate.com/product-research/duo-security/case-studies (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

DUO has been adopted by IUK.

What are the positive impacts brought by DUO?
