Integrated seamlessly into the existing Duo authentication experience used by more than 25,000 organizations globally,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/duo.com\/duo-presents-passwordless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Duo passwordless authentication<\/a>\u00a0will enable enterprise users to skip the password and securely log into cloud applications via security keys or biometrics built into modern laptops and smartphones.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consequences of using passwords are well known. Passwords are easily compromised and difficult to manage, costing enterprises billions of dollars annually. Users are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lastpass.com\/2017\/11\/lastpass-reveals-8-truths-about-passwords-in-the-new-password-expose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inundated with passwords<\/a>\u00a0in their personal and professional lives. Password reset requests comprise a lion\u2019s share of IT help desk tickets, resulting in lost productivity for users and increased support costs for the business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duo passwordless authentication is part of Cisco\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/products\/security\/zero-trust.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">industry-leading zero trust platform<\/a>, securing access for any user, from any device, to any IT application or environment. The product is designed to be infrastructure agnostic, paving the way to a passwordless future while ensuring that enterprises can seamlessly protect any combination of cloud and on-premises applications without requiring multiple authentication products or leaving critical security gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCisco has strived to develop passwordless authentication that meets the needs of a diverse and evolving workforce and allows the broadest set of enterprises to securely progress towards a passwordless future, regardless of their IT stack,\u201d said Fady Younes, Cybersecurity Director, Middle East and Africa, Cisco. \u201cIt\u2019s not an overstatement to say that passwordless authentication will have the most meaningful global impact on how users access data by making the easiest path the most secure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duo passwordless authentication will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Simplify and strengthen authentication<\/strong>\u00a0for accessing cloud applications protected by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/duo.com\/product\/single-sign-on-sso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Duo single sign-on (SSO)<\/a>\u00a0and third-party SSO and identity providers, by leveraging security keys and platform biometrics such as Apple FaceID and TouchID, and Windows Hello. Pairing passwordless authentication with Duo SSO enables organizations to consolidate hundreds of passwords and authentications into one easy login for users to cloud applications.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Provide one security tool for all authentication scenarios<\/strong>\u00a0thanks to Duo\u2019s compatibility with hundreds of applications and identity providers, with no infrastructure change required.<\/li><li><strong>Reduce risk of password-related threats and vulnerabilities<\/strong>\u00a0such as phishing, stolen or weak passwords, password reuse, brute-force, man-in-the-middle attacks and password database compromise.<\/li><li><strong>Add layers of security to the authentication<\/strong>\u00a0with device health and behavior monitoring controls via Duo\u2019s secure access product suite, further reducing risk in the event a biometric is stolen or not effective.<\/li><li><strong>Reduce administrative burden<\/strong>\u00a0of password-related help desk tickets and password resets.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workforces are ripe for the adoption of passwordless authentication. According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/duo.com\/resources\/ebooks\/the-2020-duo-trusted-access-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>2020 Duo Trusted Access Report<\/em><\/a>, 80 percent of mobile devices used for work have biometrics configured, up 12 percent the past five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duo passwordless authentication leverages the Web Authentication (<a href=\"http:\/\/webauthn.guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WebAuthn<\/a>) standard, based in asymmetric cryptography, enabling biometrics to be securely stored on and validated by the device, locally, as opposed to a centralized database. Duo helped drive WebAuthn\u2019s ratification as an official web standard and adoption across platforms as a member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) working group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duo security practices are built on ISO 27001, NIST\u2019s Cyber Security Framework, and AICPA\u2019s Trust Service Principles and are designed to meet GDPR and other privacy laws around the world. Duo is committed to the highest level of security for its customers &#8211; both public and private, and currently holds SOC2 Type II, ISO27001:2013, ISO27017:2015, and ISO27018:2019 certifications, as well as being FedRAMP authorized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duo passwordless authentication will be available for public preview beginning summer
