Automated MFA made easy Rewst’s Cisco Duo integration

Are manual license audits, inaccurate billing, and unused M365 licenses costing your MSP time and money?
Rewst Integration
Is manually managing phones and multi-factor authentication (MFA) settings eating into time your MSP could spend on more profitable (or scalable) activities?

Optimize Cisco Duo management from a collection of manual steps into streamlined, automated processes with Rewst. While Duo provides excellent MFA capabilities, MSPs often struggle with the administrative burden of user provisioning, device management, security policy enforcement, and billing reconciliation across multiple clients. These manual processes consume valuable technician time and introduce security risks when a task like removing bypass mode gets overlooked.

Rewst seamlessly integrates with Duo to eliminate these pain points, enabling you to automate end-to-end workflows that handle everything from onboarding to security compliance. By leveraging Rewst’s customizable forms to trigger your workflows, you can enable clients to self-service while maintaining centralized control. Cisco Duo and Rewst help you deliver consistent MFA implementation across all clients while freeing your team to focus on higher-value work.

Reliability on repeat with Rewst’s Duo integration

Not only is secure MFA critical for maintaining cybersecurity insurance compliance, but Duo’s user-friendly approach helps your clients embrace these security requirements rather than resist them. With Rewst’s automation capabilities standardizing your Duo processes, you can scale these security efforts efficiently across your entire client base.

Manage Duo phones

Before: Receive the ticket and check to see if a given user’s phone number is already in the system. Assign the number if it is, or if it’s not, add it and associate it with the user requested. Need to remove a number? Search it, check it, remove it. Ensure you keep a tally of the users and phones associated with a given tenant for billing reconciliation.

After: Your techs or clients can input the number in a dynamic intake form. All the checking, processing, and ticket logging happens in seconds. Wrap the process up with a bow in the form of an SMS activation message sent automatically to the user.

Why this Integration: Improve the efficiency of phone management while decreasing the risk of human error in assignments. Improve security with controlled access and accurate tracking of phone assignments through audit logs and ticket creation.

Identify users in bypass mode

Before: Navigate to your admin panel, filter by users in bypass mode, and then audit that against the tickets in your PSA. Is everyone there supposed to be? Do you need to reset anything? Did your techs accurately log all the details? In addition to checking it all, you  need to remember to do so in the first place.

After: Why wonder? Automatically audit Duo users and create tickets for the ones in bypass mode to confirm they should be. Do you want a summary of all the users in bypass mode for your auditing or reporting? We’ve got an automation for that.

Why this Integration: Identify, log, summarize, and schedule all the bypass user tasks that ate into your techs’ time condensed into automation seconds.

User count synchronization

Before: Export lists of users from each client tenant, then compare them to those in your PSA of choice. Your accounting team checks your PSA agreement, ensuring the user counts match, and updates the contract as needed.

After: Set it and forget it: automatically retrieve the necessary data and update your agreements on a schedule you define.

Why this Integration: Ensure clear and precise invoicing while minimizing extra time and overhead expenses on gathering and organizing information.

Compliant and secure MFA

Before: Different systems, separate processes, and unique documentation needs for each client make things complicated. Cybersecurity insurance demands consistent MFA enforcement. This means manually checking systems and creating tickets can become a liability, taking away valuable technician time and affecting your profits.

After: Incorporate Cisco Duo into your various automation workflows to scale your operations. Start small by using Rewst to set up Duo simultaneously as your password manager or add it to the customer onboarding workflow you’ve built.

Why this Integration: Reduce friction in your onboarding process and MFA management by leveraging Rewst to automate the experience.

With Rewst’s Cisco Duo integration, you can automate the time-consuming, manual tasks necessary for device management, consistently apply MFA policies, and more.

FAQ

Is it possible to automate MFA?

Rewst’s integration with Cisco Duo lets MSPs fully automate required MFA processes—like tenant setup, user provisioning, phone number assignment, and security policy enforcement—ensuring consistent, compliant rollouts every time.

Watch how Dan from ECMSI demonstrates this automation in action, showing how Rewst reduces a 90-minute Duo setup process down to just 22 seconds.

How do you automate Duo authentication workflows?
You can trigger end-to-end Duo setup workflows in Rewst using PSA tickets (e.g. from ConnectWise). These workflows create users, assign phones, apply policies, and configure groups automatically—saving hours of manual effort while ensuring secret keys and hostname tokens are accurately handled per tenant.
Why should MSPs automate required MFA during client onboarding?
Automating required MFA at onboarding guarantees consistency, helps meet cybersecurity insurance criteria, and avoids manual oversights like missed policy applications or bypass mode lapses. With Rewst, MFA setup becomes a scalable, error-resistant process.
What is dynamic MFA and how does it work with secret keys and Duo policies?
Dynamic MFA adapts to user context (device, location, risk level), and is supported by Duo through customizable policies. Rewst helps automate the assignment of these policies across tenants and ensures secret keys and application tokens are correctly deployed during setup.
