Duo Device Health & Mac 2FA Login – Brady Espey, Duo Security/Cisco
This presentation will discuss the “Device Health application” and “Duo Authentication for macOS”, what they are, how do they work, how to require them when logging onto Macs and how to distribute and manage them.
The Duo Device Health is an application that can be installed and distributed on your end-users Mac systems that performs health checks whenever you access Duo-protected applications through the browser-based Duo Universal Prompt or traditional Duo Prompt, ensuring that your Macs meets the organization’s security requirements. This helps protect organization data and make sure your Macs are less vulnerable to compromise. Duo Health helps you control access to your applications through the policy system by restricting access when devices do not meet particular security requirements.
Duo Authentication for macOS adds Duo two-factor authentication to macOS local console logins. Duo for macOS doesn’t add 2FA for remote SSH connections but can be added using the Duo Unix – Two-Factor Authentication for SSH with PAM support. Duo’s Mac authorization plugin 1.1.0 supports macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and later versions including macOS Monterey. To test your setup, attempt to log in to your newly-configured system as a user enrolled in Duo. The Duo Prompt appears after you successfully submit your macOS credentials.
