Case Study: Eastern Michigan University prevents phishing and secures campus accounts with Duo Security

Eastern Michigan University - Customer Case Study

Eastern Michigan University (EMU) is a public university in Ypsilanti with more than 25,000 students, 1,500 faculty and staff, and a 60-person IT team. Faced with multiple compromised accounts driven by phishing, EMU needed a Trusted Access solution that would protect personal accounts, servers and infrastructure while remaining simple enough for a diverse campus population to use.

EMU deployed Duo across the institution with hands-on user enrollment and education, giving staff and students an easy second factor that reduced successful phishing and cut help-desk burden. The result: happier users, fewer administrative headaches, stronger protection against vulnerabilities, and a clear recommendation from EMU’s security team to organizations considering Duo.
