Customers of the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based company range from SMBs to major organizations, using its tech to verify users&#8217; identities by establishing trust in their identities, evaluating device trustworthiness, and facilitating secure application access.<\/p>\n<p>Now Cisco wants to offer its customers the same as it plans for a future in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cisco and Duo are aligned in the approach of designing infrastructure for the extended enterprise,&#8221; said David Goeckeler, executive vice president and general manager of Cisco&#8217;s networking and security business, in a press briefing on the news. &#8220;Users, devices, and applications are at the center of modern security architecture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition was driven by\u00a0three core reasons, he explained. For starters, it will let Cisco extend intent-based networking into multicloud environments. The company currently provides on-premises network access control through its Identity Services Engine (ISE); it plans to offer cloud-based access control by integrating Duo&#8217;s SaaS model into its ISE product.<\/p>\n<p>Cisco&#8217;s focus is networking and enterprise security, Goeckeler said. Its intent is to securely connect clients on various networks to any application at a time when more apps are located outside the business and customers are adopting multi- and hybrid-cloud environments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The world has landed on multicloud,&#8221; Duo&#8217;s Song said at the briefing. &#8220;We see a very clear role for us sitting at the intersection of that new network that&#8217;s being built.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goeckler&#8217;s second point was how the Duo acquisition will help simplify policy for cloud security by integrating trusted identity awareness into Cisco&#8217;s Secure Internet Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, Enterprise Mobility Management, and other cloud-based products in its lineup. His third point: Cisco will\u00a0leverage Duo&#8217;s device visibility to expand endpoint management coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cisco: Late to 2FA?<br \/><\/strong>Multifactor authentication is certainly a powerful tool for Cisco to have, but it&#8217;s a little late for the company to have it, says Merritt Maxim, principal analyst serving security and risk professionals at Forrester.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On one hand &#8230; authentication continues to be one of the common vulnerabilities that gets exploited for data breaches,&#8221; he explains. Compromised passwords continue to be a problem, and two-factor authentication is a good way to mitigate the risk.<\/p>\n<p>Cisco has historically invested in network or cloud-focused companies; while Duo is &#8220;a little somewhat outside the core area,&#8221; Maxim says, it does complement Cisco&#8217;s portfolio. Duo is on a high-trajectory growth rate, he continues, and has raised a lot of capital.<\/p>\n<p>However, the high price tag indicates Cisco may be &#8220;a little late to the game on this,&#8221; Maxim adds, noting that most major tech companies have already invested in multifactor. If the company wanted two-factor authentication, it could have had it &#8220;ages ago.&#8221; As a result, he anticipates the deal is about achieving customers and growth in addition to 2FA tech. Cisco wants to protect the networks and users connecting to the cloud; Duo is part of that.<\/p>\n<p>Maxim doesn&#8217;t anticipate any major changes to Duo&#8217;s multifactor technology as a result of the acquisition. It&#8217;s also intriguing, he points out, that Duo offers phishing simulation and awareness tools. Cisco could also potentially leverage these in its content strategy.<\/p>\n<p>As for Cisco&#8217;s plans, &#8220;we see Duo&#8217;s opportunity with Cisco going beyond security into its intent-based networking strategy,&#8221; Goeckeler said today. While more information on Duo&#8217;s integration will be announced after the close of <a href=\"https:\/\/duo.com\/about\/press\/releases\/cisco-announces-intent-to-acquire-duo-security\" target=\"_blank\">the deal<\/a>, he noted plans to weave Duo&#8217;s tech into Cisco products, as well as to continue to sell Duo&#8217;s offerings as a standalone product.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition is subject to closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of Cisco&#8217;s 2019 fiscal year. Following the close, Duo&#8217;s operations and 700-some employees will be integrated into Cisco&#8217;s networking and security division under Goeckeler&#8217;s leadership. Song will continue to lead Duo following the transaction, <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.cisco.com\/press-release-content?type=webcontent&amp;articleId=1937036\" target=\"_blank\">Cisco reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.deusm.com\/darkreading\/MarilynCohodas\/Horizontal-334031_BH_US18_banners_468x60_non_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Black Hat USA returns to Las Vegas with hands-on technical Trainings, cutting-edge Briefings, Arsenal open-source tool demonstrations, top-tier security solutions and service providers in the Business Hall.
