(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Accompanying study shows majority of Duo customers prioritize securing Microsoft
Office 365
ANN ARBOR, MI--(Marketwired - Sep 25, 2017) - Duo Security, one of the fastest
growing cybersecurity and software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers in the world,
today announced integration of its flagship two-factor authentication (2FA)
product with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), offering thousands of
Azure AD Premium customers another way to quickly secure critical cloud
applications such as Microsoft Office 365.
IT administrators can now select Duo as their secondary authentication provider
directly within Azure AD Premium P2 conditional access engine, and have users
verify identity with a tap of their smartphone when accessing Azure AD
applications. Duo's simple software configurations enable 75 percent of
customers to achieve full deployment to their organization in less than a day.
"Azure AD has become a primary destination for organizations looking to
modernize their IT operations and migrate to a cloud environment," said Jon
Oberheide, Duo Security Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer. "Our
integration with Azure AD makes the decision to move even easier for
organizations with Duo's strong authentication service, as well as simple
deployment and faster time to security."
The steady organizational shift to cloud-based applications is evidenced by a
recent TechValidate study of more than 1,200 Duo customers, which showed two-
thirds of respondents use or plan to use Office 365. Consequently, 60 percent of
respondents are most concerned with protecting access to Office 365, among other
corporate applications. More than half of respondents want to continue using
their existing security investments with Azure.
"Duo and Microsoft address key considerations customers have when migrating to
cloud workloads, including protecting against compromised credentials driven by
phishing, ensuring device health, and securing a growing remote workforce and
increasingly fluid Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies," added Oberheide.
Duo's integration with Azure AD allows organizations to take advantage of a full
cloud identity and authentication platform, eliminating time and money spent
managing on-premises components such as directories and federation and
authentication servers.
"Microsoft is working with strategic partners around the world to offer the best
protection for customer data," said Alex Simons, director, program management,
Microsoft Identity Division at Microsoft Corp. "Duo's easy to implement solution
is a great option for our joint customers looking to secure their strategic
cloud assets."
