DUO ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF TWO NEW DATA CENTRES IN THE UK AND INDIA

PRESS RELEASE: Duo is thrilled to announce the launch of the two new data centres in the UK and India. Supporting our customers’ data localisation needs, this new launch expands our existing presence in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Singapore and Japan.

Since 2017, the number of data localisation measures in force globally has more than doubled. A report put together by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) shows that while in 2017 35 countries had implemented 67 data localisation barriers, by mid 2021, 62 countries had imposed similar restrictions.

Data localisation imposes obligations on firms to store and process data locally rather than in servers located overseas. This leads to a significant bump in the operational cost. At least according to 88% of over 4900 security professionals across 27 countries that were surveyed for the recently released Cisco 2022 Data Privacy Benchmark Study.

Both the new and existing data centres will provide Duo’s customers with a choice over service delivery locations and allow organisations to meet all local requirements, all while maintaining ISO27001 and SOC2 compliance and 99.999% service availability goal.

International Expansion

The launch of the new data centres is the backbone of Duo's international expansion strategy. It provides customers, particularly those in highly regulated industries such as public sector and financial services, with more choice over service delivery locations and by doing so enables Duo to grow internationally.

In the last two years, Duo has met key international growth milestones and completed the C5 attestation (Germany), AgID certification (Italy) and IRAP assessment (Australia) all of which demonstrate that Duo meets the mandatory baseline standards for use by the public sector in countries listed above.

Solution Availability

Duo recognises the investment that organisations make to help protect sensitive information and hopes to remove some of that burden, all while making security accessible. All Duo features, including multi-factor authentication, single-sign-on, remote access, passwordless (in public preview) and device trust policies will be available via Duo MFA, Access and Beyond editions to help customers develop and execute a holistic secure access strategy.

The Importance of Teamwork

Establishing international data centres is no small job, and it took many cross-functional teams, across Duo and Cisco, to make this deployment a reality. This is an exciting step for Duo and our customers. We take our job as a trusted partner seriously, working together to keep organisations’ data secure.
