Ever use a password to log into a site? That will give you a sense of the size of our market. Every company that requires a login is a potential customer. Passwords are inherently weak and Duo Security has developed a simple way to make logins more secure. Our approach is known as two-factor authentication and we’ve developed a way to make it easy for everyone to use. We're on a mission to end the era of weak passwords and allow everyone to benefit from advanced account security technologies, not just the Fortune 500s.
