Overview
In order to be in compliance with our cyber insurance policies, the IT department will be enrolling all staff into the DUO Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) platform.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as an application, online account, or a VPN.
MFA is a core component of a strong IT security policy. Rather than just asking for a username and password, MFA requires one or more additional verification factors, which decreases the likelihood of a successful cyber-attack.
Step 1: DUO Mobile App Install
Install the free DUO Mobile app on your iPhone or Android. If your mobile phone is not supported or is not a smartphone you can also use SMS and phone calls to set up MFA.

Acuren Applications Using DUO MFA
The Acuren IT department has configured DUO MFA for the following applications. Once you have been enrolled with DUO, these applications will require you to authenticate when signing into the application.
Microsoft 365
The IT department will confirm with you that DUO MFA is turned on for your Microsoft 365 account.
When DUO MFA is turned on for your M365 account, you will get prompted on your mobile device with a DUO push notification to approve the sign in.
This will happen when you sign into M365 services (Outlook/Teams/OneDrive/SharePoint/ETC) from new locations, new devices and when you change your password.
Example of M365 notification when waiting for approval.
