The City of Philadelphia School District + Duo

To protect the identities of 23,000+ students and staff, The School District of Philadelphia partnered with Cisco Duo to secure its critical cloud migration and legacy infrastructure. By deploying nearly 25,000 licenses, the district successfully bridged security gaps in its non-Active Directory environment. Duo’s robust logging provided immediate, centralized visibility, significantly reducing troubleshooting time and enabling faster incident resolution. The platform’s flexibility allowed for diverse, cost-effective authentication methods, ensuring scalable protection. By integrating AI-assisted log analysis and risk-based authentication, the district has streamlined security operations, creating a more resilient digital learning environment while maintaining strict fiscal responsibility.
