Case Study: Duke University strengthens account security with Duo Security

Duke University - Customer Case Study

Duke University, a private research institution, faced a significant security challenge after a phishing attack compromised faculty members' direct deposit information. They needed a flexible and user-friendly multifactor authentication solution to protect over 54,000 students, faculty, and staff with diverse needs. The university selected Duo Security's multifactor authentication service to address this challenge.

The solution from Duo was implemented, offering a variety of seamless authentication methods that integrated with Duke's existing infrastructure. Following a targeted phishing incident, a mandate led to 6,000 faculty and staff enrolling almost immediately. The rollout was highly successful, changing internal perspectives on security and providing the Duke community with a trusted and easy-to-use service. Duo Security's technology proved to be a key partner in the university's enhanced security strategy.
