Securing Access Beyond MFA: How Duo Protects Box

“Box manages highly sensitive data for some of the largest organizations in the world. As a result of this, we need to ensure the highest level of protection for all user interactions with our services. We also need to meet an extremely high bar for security standards while making it easy for users to be productive. Duo helps us do just that.”
--Mark Schooley, Senior Director, IT Operations & Engineering

Box isn’t the only company that maintains a high bar for security -- every organization requires proper protection. To prevent unauthorized access and comply with regulations, deploying MFA, which is a basic security control now required in most compliance standards, is a great start. However, remote work and BYOD can create additional challenges to the traditional access models. Further, data security and privacy regulations are catching up with updated controls where MFA might not be enough to prove compliance.

With Duo, organizations can reduce costs and consolidate secure access policies. Duo makes it easy for IT teams to maintain a comprehensive inventory of all devices and enforce conditional access rules based on the user's location, health of the device and more.

Join Mark Schooley, Senior Director of IT Operations at Box, and Dave Lewis, Advisory CISO at Duo Security, for a discussion regarding securing access beyond MFA using Duo.
