KnowBe4 Integrates With Cisco Duo To Streamline Secure Sign Ins

Social engineering remains one of the top attack vectors that cybercriminals use to execute malicious acts. KnowBe4’s security awareness training and simulated phishing platform allows workforces to make smarter decisions, strengthen an organization’s security culture and human risk by protecting their organization from phishing, social engineering and ransomware. 

Duo Security’s Single Sign-On offering allows users to verify their identity in order to authorize access to multiple applications and websites with just a single set of login credentials. The security risks associated with credential compromises and breaches are reduced significantly with single sign-on.

A new integration between the two products allows joint customers to deliver a single sign-on experience when logging into the KnowBe4 platform and other integrated service providers.

In addition to time and cost saving, here is why IT Admins will love this integration: 

• IT admins can enable Trusted Endpoints to make sure that only managed or registered devices are able to access KnowBe4’s platform 
• They can control access levels for different user groups using centralized and granular access policies (for the app or for a particular group) 
• Furthermore, they can use contextualized access control (Duo Desktop) to promptly respond to changing user context, including roles, location, devices, etc. 
• The IT help desk spends less time on password management because users can perform self-remediation by updating their devices when software is out-of-date 

Duo SSO is simplifying access to KnowBe4 training resources, allowing organizations to concentrate on their core objective- fostering well-trained teams with robust security readiness, prepared to tackle cybersecurity challenges.

“Duo Security joins our ecosystem of technology partners, which is growing rapidly, to enrich the support we provide to our customers and to fortify their organization’s human firewall,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “KnowBe4 is proud to partner with Duo Security to provide a seamless integration with our KMSAT platform, which aims to educate end users on today’s latest cybersecurity threats. By creating a streamlined and seamless one-click sign-on experience, our joint customers will benefit from enhanced security resilience.”

"Cisco Duo is excited to partner with KnowBe4 to enhance organizations' cyber defenses and boost their confidence in navigating the complex cybersecurity landscape,” said Iva Blazina Vukelja, VP of Product Management at Cisco Duo. “Integrating Knowbe4's KMSAT user education with Duo SSO is a significant step towards a more secure digital environment."
