DUO Custom Policies Reports and Licenses Lab Demo

In this video, we'll dive into a comprehensive lab demonstration on configuring and testing custom policies in Duo Security for Windows login. Learn how to modify authentication policies, handle operating system restrictions, tweak settings using the Windows Registry Editor, and enforce biometric authentication. We'll also explore how to interpret Duo's detailed reports and manage licensing effectively.
