Cisco Duo — MFA, SSO and Device Trust
MFA is not a checkbox. Learn Duo users, applications, policies, SSO and device health the way a helpdesk ticket actually fails. Exam-oriented labs and Techclick certificate.
Who Is This For
- IAM and helpdesk engineers who own MFA tickets
- Zero Trust teams adding device health
- Cisco ISE / Secure Access engineers pairing Duo
- Anyone tired of “just turn MFA off”
Prerequisites
- SSO / SAML / OIDC vocabulary
- Helpful: Entra, Okta or AD FS exposure
Fee, exam preparation and certificate
The full Cisco Duo course fee is ₹25,000. That is one price for live online classes, recordings, workbook, dummy lab tickets, Cisco Duo administration + Cisco security associate path exam preparation, interview practice, and the Techclick Infosec completion certificate.
Vendor certification is a separate exam you book with the vendor. This course prepares you for that exam and also for the job desk. UPI and EMI options are available — WhatsApp us.
