The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is taking steps to reinforce �ǿմ�ý’s defenses against cyberattacks such as . These measures include the strengthening of security of logins to Institute systems by implementing by the end of business day, Monday, June 24.   

Verified Duo Push is a more secure version of Duo Push, the current two-factor authentication system used by �ǿմ�ý that adds a layer of security to campus online accounts. Verified Duo Push provides additional security against “push harassment” and “push fatigue” by requiring users to enter a three-digit code, rather than “approve” or “deny” options, to verify an authentication request. (Codes expire after 60 seconds.) Verified Duo Push also provides improved fraud reporting by directing users to a fraud-report option in the Duo Mobile application when they receive unexpected Duo Push login requests.  

Verified Duo Push requires Duo Mobile 4.16.0, or later, on Android devices (Android 8 or later; 2017 or newer) or Duo Mobile 4.17.0, or later, on Apple devices (iOS 13 or later; iPhone 6s, 2015 or newer). You can learn more about Verified Duo Push and its requirements for use in the �ǿմ�ý knowledge article, “.”&�Բ�����;&�Բ�����;
