Cisco Duo – The What and Why

The What:

Everyone at this point is probably familiar with Multi-factor Authentication, or MFA. In short it is the process of verifying a login through secondary means. Duo as an application functions as a secure MFA platform that can be used across all the devices that you use to access your secure data. The mission of Duo is to ensure that the identity of the person logging in is accurate to who they actually are. It does this through multiple levels of verification, learning your regular habits, and continually checking for potential security breaches. 

Below shows some of the ways Duo works with your smartphone to keep you secure:

The Why:

We at SSI recommend Duo due to the adaptive protection that it offers while still being user friendly. We all know why MFA and identity protection is important, but we have all still felt the pang of annoyance when having to approve a login or verify a request. Duo holds all of the accounts and requests in one app so there is never confusion on how to login. Duo has the ability to log “trusted devices” which streamlines this process further when using the same phone or computer for work tasks, reducing the amount of times you are prompted for a verification. Using their patented AI technology Duo is able to learn users habits and will send security notifications when it detects unfamiliar behavior. Admin users in a company have the ability to set custom security parameters and get real time updates to maximize data protection. Unlike many other MFAs Duo’s protection doesn’t just stop at the log in screen, which is why we advocate for its use.

The What:

Video Credit: Graphus

In the most simple terms, Graphus is an email plug-in that protects users and devices from the most common types of email cyber attacks. The more you use Graphus and teach it how you communicate within and outside your organization, the better it gets at defending you. All suspicious email activity is flagged and historically logged to allow us at SSI to make the most informed decisions about how to protect your data.  

Here is an example of what Graphus can offer you:

The Why:

A study done by America’s Cyber Defense Agency showed that 91% of Cyber attacks start from documents or links in your email inbox. One click can lead to precious data being stolen or the loss of thousands of dollars. Graphus is able to detect the suspicious activity and language that is often used, and will flag the content to make sure that you can work safely. It is highly adaptive and can only get better the more it is utilized. This feature is critical due the the lightning fast speed that technology develops at. Just as fast as hackers learn new tricks, Graphus learns how to identify them. We at SSI love how Graphus works in conjunction with our mission to protect and provide for our clients.

Below are some examples of what information you may receive after a vPentest:

Examples of Assessment findings

Historical Comparisons to see how you Improve

The Why:

We live in an age where technology develops at a lighting fast pace. As fast as new security measures are developed, those with other intentions are developing their sinister tools. In the era of data and technology having strong cyber security can quite literally be the difference between a successful company or bankruptcy. We have also noticed that many Insurance companies are starting to require it for coverage due to the increased likely-hood of cyber attacks.  We offer bi-annual vPentesting to ensure that all our clients sensitive data is always secure and protected. At SSI we believe knowledge is power and this is away for us to give that power back to the clients we serve. 

Rates and Scheduling:

  • Annual (once per year) – $599/per test
  • Biannual (twice per year, 6 months apart) – $399per/test
