In 2020, Cisco set out to move from a traditional network-based perimeter and VPN model to a zero trust framework. Dubbed ‘borderless’ internally, the core goal was to give users a secure, uniform experience accessing applications, wherever the user or application is located. Using the features of Duo Beyond, our team set out to improve security and create a better experience for our 100,000+ users - a fundamental shift that took place in less than five months.
