What is UCLA Duo Desktop
UCLA Duo Desktop is a lightweight application for your computer that performs a security Health Check on your device. This lightweight tool will assess your device's security posture to ensure your system meets UCLA's security requirements (e.g., UCLA-approved anti-virus: Trellix) before you can access protected applications.
