ProSight Duo Identity Verification
Progent's ProSight Duo line of managed services integrates advanced technology from Duo, a Cisco company, to deliver two-factor authentication services. Two-factor authentication is one of the pillars of zero-trust cybersecurity strategy. 2FA uses out-of-band identity confirmation to provide a second layer of security on top of traditional passwords. 2FA protects against the most frequent causes of security break-ins including phishing, social engineering, and credential theft.
Duo's single-touch Mobile Push app simplifies access security
Duo's Push App minimizes time and hassle by permitting users to verify who they are just by touching "Approve" on the authentication prompt on their personal smartphone or watch. This single-tap process does away with the need to open an email or text message and transcribe a passcode by hand.
Progent's ProSight Duo family consists of three subscription services that progressively add features. ProSight Duo MFA permits you to deploy Duo's 2FA technology to guard all apps while offering essential access tools, unified management, and fast provisioning. ProSight Duo Access provides all the features of ProSight Duo MFA plus adaptive ID validation controls and endpoint health monitoring. ProSight Duo Beyond brings the ability to differentiate corporate as opposed to personal devices, block suspect devices, and give users secure and transparent access to your inside apps. Progent is a Duo Managed Service Provider and can assist your company to design, deploy and manage a modern ID authentication solution that delivers top-level access security without disrupting your users.
Two-factor Authentication
Most security breaches exploit compromised passwords. Each service plan in Progent's ProSight Duo family of identity validation solutions can eliminate your dangerous dependence on password protection by allowing two-factor authentication. With 2FA implemented, when you sign into a protected online account and provide your password you are requested to confirm who you are by means of a device that you have sole ownership of and that utilizes a different ("out-of-band") channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized as this additional means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can enroll multiple authentication devices.
ProSight Duo 2FA provides an extra level of security
Once you verify who you are via your validation device, you are permitted to run your app or utilize your VPN or remote desktop service. With the Duo Mobile app's push notification feature activated, you can simply press "Approve" on your iOS or Android phone or smart watch. This streamlines the login experience by making the authentication process virtually instantaneous. For other secondary devices, such as a token, you can transcribe a short-term password.
