$SFOR It was a very highly strategic move by Cisco-
1. DUO's multi-factor authentication business will complement CISCO's cloud security portfolio
2. DUO's acquisition will enable Cisco to deliver their customers what they need in today’s multi-cloud world – the ability to securely connect any user to any application on any network.
3. Cisco currently provides on-premises network access control via its Identity Services Engine (ISE) product. With Duo's software-as-a-service-based (SaaS) model , it will be easily integrated with Cisco ISE to extend ISE to provide cloud-delivered application access control.
4. By verifying user and device trust, Duo will also add trusted identity awareness into Cisco's Secure Internet Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, Enterprise Mobility Management, and several other cloud-delivered products.
5. Cisco's in-depth visibility of over 180 million managed devices will be augmented by Duo's broad visibility of mobile and un-managed devices.
6. Cisco said on the conf call that Integration of its network, device and cloud security platforms with Duo Security’s zero-trust authentication and access products will let customers to quickly secure users to any application on any networked device.
7. 75 per cent of Duo’s customers are up and running in less than a week, compared to six to 12 months for comparable products in other acquisitions.
8. Cisco was after DUO's 12,000 customers, including over 100 of the Fortune 500 companies.
9. Cisco will drive Duo’s relevance across the entire extended enterprise, both through integrated security and network architecture, as well as through go-to-market channels.
10. CISCO invested in DUO's MFA during Second round of financing. They are expanding into IA&M and Cyber Security Marketplace.
Finally, after this deal was announced, KAY & CREW where very excited. Confirmed via email , someone shared on board.
