Duo MSP & StackOps IT Solution Overview

What is Duo?

Duo Access Management is a security solution that gives you layers of authentication protection and access control by confirming that you're really who you say you are before access is granted to your accounts and corporate data. With Duo, even if someone knows your password, unless they have your trusted device – mobile phone, tablet, token, or Apple Watch – Duo can stop them in their tracks.
