As part of our ongoing effort to simplify the experience for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) using Cisco Security products—and to continue building on the great success of our Secure MSP Center program—I’m excited to announce that Cisco Duo for MSPs is now available through the Secure MSP Center Managed Services Licensing Program (MSLA) via the distribution channel.
By enabling this route, MSPs with established channel relationships with their chosen Cisco Authorized Distributor can deliver secure, scalable identity and access management solutions to their clients—without adding operational complexity. As a cloud-based platform, Duo enables you to protect your client environments with strong user verification, adaptive access controls, and single sign-on (SSO) for both cloud and on-premises applications.
Why Secure MSP Center with MSLA Matters
1. Simplified MSP Buying Experience
- Streamlined ordering and deployment of multiple SaaS security products from one centralized platform.
- Single multi-tenant console for easy client onboarding, policy management, and automated enforcement.
- Unified invoicing and usage reports enable faster time to value and cash flow alignment.
2. Comprehensive Portfolio of Security Solutions
MSPs now need to sign up only once to access a portfolio of Cisco security products, eliminating the need to procure each product individually:
