As the online landscape becomes more insecure, and with the prevalence of email phishing, it is becoming harder to enforce stronger security and countermeasures, and to secure your information systems.

As part of vCloud's security strategy, we have partnered with Duo Security to delivery 2FA/MFA (Two/Multi-Factor Authentication) across your information and computer systems. Duo Security facilitates the ability to authenticate your windows logon, and if you are in our IBM/Microsoft/Equinix/OVH Cloud datacentres.

Duo Security is a software / mobile device application that involves (i) software installed on the firm's server infrastructure and (ii) an App on the staff mobile devices. The server software forwards a notification to the mobile device App upon log-in to enable verification via a simple "Approve / Deny'" selection.

Please Note: As the Duo Security software is installed on your firm's server system, all phone numbers are secure and not shared with any third parties.

This is a two step enrollment, once completed, we will install the Duo Security for Windows Logon, and then you will be prompted to authenticate your logon. To see this in action, please visit:
