Strengthen security across a hybrid network with Adaptive MFA everywhere

Okta’s Adaptive MFA integrates deeply with Palo Alto Networks to strengthen the network perimeter—making it harder for threat actors to gain access with stolen credentials—as well as the assets inside, through policy-driven step-up authentication when users try accessing sensitive data.

Simplify and secure remote access to enterprise resources

Keep end users productive with easy, reliable, remote access to your internal network. Layer Okta’s SSO in front of Palo Alto Networks Global Protect VPN to streamline authentication and access to apps and other resources, whether in the cloud or on-prem.

Ensure comprehensive regulatory compliance

Industry compliance standards like HIPAA and PCI DSS demand a robust MFA solution that may be incompatible with older or homegrown or legacy apps and resources in your environment. Okta + Palo Alto Networks lets you deploy strong Adaptive MFA across the network, keeping the enterprise in compliance by protecting apps that need it but don’t natively support it.

Keep management tools and processes safe

SysAdmins typically need to access and control a variety of firewalls, servers, databases, and other critical infrastructure. These administrative accounts must remain secure at all times, but authenticating separately for them impedes workflow efficiency. Okta + Palo Alto Networks enables your security team to safely authenticate once and manage globally, giving you peace of mind.

Identify and contain identity-based threats

Cortex XSIAM delivers comprehensive endpoint and network threat detection powered by advanced AI and machine learning. By feeding these high-fidelity threat signals into Okta Identity Threat Protection (ITP), organizations enable proactive, risk-based access policies that adapt to real-time changes in user and device risk scores, such as automated response actions like step-up authentication and session termination.
