Multi-Factor Authentication, Fully Governed.
Automate user enrollment, access policy enforcement, and authentication anomaly detection in Cisco Duo with plain-English rules your security team controls.
Describe It in English.
It Runs Deterministically.
Overview
Sync employee directories with Duo to auto-enroll and offboard users; enforce device trust and authentication policies; detect anomalous login patterns and trigger step-up verification or account lockout.
Execution Steps
Sync and Enroll Users
- Pull new hires, role changes, and terminations from the identity provider into Duo
- Auto-enroll new users in Duo MFA with the appropriate authentication policy based on role and department
Enforce Device and Access Policies
- Evaluate Duo Trust Monitor data to verify that devices meet security posture requirements like OS version and encryption status
- Block authentication attempts from devices that fail trust checks and notify the user with remediation instructions
Detect and Respond to Anomalies
- Monitor Duo authentication logs for anomalies like impossible travel, repeated failures, or new device registrations
- Trigger step-up verification or temporary account lockout and alert the security team with a full event timeline
Enterprise
Use Cases
Automated MFA Enrollment
Auto-enroll every new hire in Cisco Duo MFA the moment they appear in the identity provider, with the correct policy tier for their role.
Impossible Travel Detection
Flag Duo authentication events from geographically impossible locations and enforce step-up verification before granting access.
Device Trust Enforcement
Block Duo authentications from unmanaged or non-compliant devices and guide users through remediation to regain access.
Frequently asked

Kognitos is a leading US-based artificial intelligence platform designed to transform how businesses operate by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing efficiency. Our AI automation platform allows users to automate complex business processes simply by communicating their goals in plain English. Leveraging advanced technologies like a proprietary LLM-based interpreter, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Natural Language Processing (NLP), Kognitos enhances productivity, speed, and accuracy. Unlike traditional automation solutions that require complex coding, Kognitos offers unparalleled adaptability and scalability, empowering businesses to streamline workflows and eliminate manual tasks without extensive technical knowledge.
Process automation refers to the use of technology to automate repetitive, manual tasks within a business or organization. The goal is to streamline and optimize workflows, increase efficiency, reduce errors, and save time and resources. This can be achieved through the implementation of various technologies, such as RPA, Workflow Automation, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
Security is a core principle of Kognitos' architecture, built on state-of-the-art cloud services with strong security foundations. Critical business processes run on the Kognitos platform, and we prioritize the security of both the processes and their data. Kognitos employs serverless, cloud-based services with the principle of least privilege access. For example, a service without a need to access a database does not have access to it. Kognitos has achieved the SOC 2 Type II certification for our best-in-class security controls and compliance with the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria. Learn more

Duo automation questions.
What can I automate between Kognitos and Duo?
Read, transform, and write data with deterministic policy, exception routing in plain English, and full audit trail. Common patterns include data hygiene, bidirectional sync, periodic reconciliations, and exception handling that escalates to a human in Slack or Teams. Kognitos reads from Duo, applies the policy you wrote in plain English, and writes back deterministically with a full audit trail, no probabilistic LLM action.
How does Kognitos connect to Duo?
Through Duo's official API using scoped credentials (OAuth or API key, depending on which Duo supports). Kognitos stores credentials in a managed secret store with rotation; permissions are limited to what your automation actually needs.
What events in Duo can trigger a Kognitos automation?
Common triggers include an inbound webhook, a record change, a scheduled job, or a Human-in-the-Loop handoff from another Kognitos automation. Kognitos supports both event-driven (webhook) and scheduled execution, and you can mix both inside a single automation.
Can business users build Kognitos + Duo automations without code?
Yes. The Kognitos Builder Agent walks you through the process in conversation; you describe what you want in English (e.g., "every weeknight, reconcile Duo records against the warehouse and email me anything that doesn't match") and Kognitos generates and runs the automation. No drag-and-drop, no Python, and no third-party iPaaS.
Is Duo data safe with Kognitos?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-attested, ISO 27001-certified, and GDPR-aligned. Duo data is processed inside the customer tenant, encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train upstream models, and every decision is captured in an immutable English-language audit log.
How do I get started with the Kognitos + Duo integration?
Book a 30-minute demo. We'll help you connect Duo, pick a real bottleneck from your team's backlog, and ship a working automation written in plain English in the first session, no procurement runway required.
