About Logging in to CDO

Cisco Defense Orchestrator(CDO) uses Cisco Secure Sign-On as its identity provider and Duo for multi-factor authentication (MFA). To log into CDO, you must first create your account in Cisco Security Cloud Sign On and configure MFA using Duo.

CDO requires MFA which provides an added layer of security in protecting your user identity. Two-factor authentication, a type of MFA, requires two components, or factors, to ensure the identity of the user logging into CDO. The first factor is a username and password, and the second is a one-time password (OTP), which is generated on demand.
