You’re Already Covered: Make the Most of Your Duo Subscription with Device Health Application!

In this free instructor-led training you will learn how Duo’s Device Health Application allows you to:

  • Validate the health of a device before allowing access
  • Ensure critical OS updates are installed in a timely manner
  • Reduce helpdesk burden by enabling end users to proactively fix device security risks
  • Extend visibility and control to secure unmanaged / BYO device access

Ninety-nine percent of vulnerabilities exploited through the end of last year were already known to security teams, according to Gartner analysts*. This underscores the importance of keeping devices which access your corporate resources up to date.

To address this problem, many organizations issue and manage laptops and desktops for users. But challenges exist for both end users and administrators. For end users, forcing updates impacts productivity and user experience. For administrators, the process to get all the users’ devices patched can be a laborious task,. Devices beyond the IT department’s control (such as personal or contractor devices) must also be considered. Without an actual enforcement point, administrators could be allowing vulnerable devices into an organization’s network. Duo Device Health application was built to solve these challenges. The lightweight application performs security checks before completing authentication to help ensure secure application access from any device and location.

Join Jonathan Hogue to learn how you can better secure your remote workers regardless of whether their devices are managed or personal, leveraging the Device Health Application that is already part of your Duo subscription!
