Secure Workforce Access at Unmatched Value
Forrester conducted a study commissioned by Cisco Duo to highlight the Total Economic Impact (TEI) of Duo. Duo and guests from Forrester will review:
- The findings from the Forrester study
- What differentiates Duo from other access management solutions
The move towards digital transformation, cloud adoption, hybrid work, business interconnectivity and mobility have dissolved the classic network boundaries. Attackers are actively exploiting these trends and gaps in protection, and a large number of organizations are unprepared to tackle these challenges. You need a solution that offers strong security capabilities to secure your user access, from anywhere. At the same time, it should also be easy-to-use to enable users to be productive and deliver ROI for the business. In this session, we’ll discuss findings from commissioned research conducted by Forrester Consulting on how Cisco Duo delivered the above benefits for a composite organization.
