Control Identity sprawl with Okta Identity Security Posture Management

The cloud Identity sprawl has changed the rules of Identity Security. As organizations move to the cloud and embrace more and more SaaS apps, Identity has become a jungle of users, entities, permissions, and activity. Managing this growing complexity is hard: siloed Identity data, sophisticated configurations, and a lack of visibility. 

Traditional approaches to Identity Security are limited in coverage and don’t scale in this new world, and we’ve seen the number of Identity-related breaches increase significantly.

Security teams are putting more emphasis on Identity Security, but they’re missing efficient and consistent tools to help them prevent the next breach. They need solutions that proactively address this critical attack vector. Unlike other security practices, the lack of critical context to make data-driven decisions prevents organizations from improving their security posture.

Introducing Okta Identity Security Posture Management

Okta Identity Security Posture Management is our latest solution for enhancing organizational security. Designed to proactively identify vulnerabilities and Identity Security gaps, Okta Identity Security Posture Management enables continuous assessment of your Identity risk posture. It highlights critical issues like admin sprawl, MFA bypass, and local accounts and prioritizes them based on risk severity for effective remediation. With Okta Identity Security Posture Management, companies can fortify their security measures and safeguard their digital assets with greater efficiency before a breach happens.

Allowing security teams to “trust but verify”

We built Okta Identity Security Posture Management from the ground up to empower Identity Security leaders to shore up their Identity attack surface by providing end-to-end visibility and remediation to Identity. The solution helps answer two simple questions:
