Secure Okta MFA, admin access and app integrations with Obsidian Security

Okta misconfigurations open the door to identity-based SaaS compromise

Frequently observed Okta misconfigurations inadvertently diminish your security and risk unauthorized access. 

Obsidian constantly monitors for anomalous login activity and misconfigurations that may weaken security effectiveness.

Manual Okta MFA audits and app reviews don’t scale, leaving you exposed

With complex identity flows, long access tokens, and cross-app connections, securing Okta by hand is error-prone and slow.

  • Manual auditing of MFA use, authentication policies, and app assignments is tedious 
  • Adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing attacks bypass MFA like Okta Fastpass without security oversight 
  • No easy way to detect or respond to social engineering attacks where attackers enroll their own device for MFA with weak authentication

Obsidian detects Okta MFA bypass, token compromise, and session abuse

  • Monitor API token creation by Okta admins to detect potentially risky behavior
  • Flag new Okta MFA enrollments over VPNs and proxies to uncover risky activity
  • Detect user impersonation, failed factors, and admin portal access to stop unauthorized access and contain incidents
  • Continuously monitor change management pre/post rollout of IdP authentication migrations (e.g. migration to Okta Fastpass for passwordless login)
