Cerby and Okta are showcasing an innovative collaboration that marks a significant milestone in enterprise security. This innovative solution aims to revolutionize how enterprises manage user sessions across web and mobile applications. With this integration, Cerby enhances Okta Universal Logout capabilities to custom and non-federated applications that are not currently supported.
What is Universal Logout?
Universal Logout from Okta, available as part of Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI, refers to the process of revoking all active sessions for a user when a security threat related to that user is identified. This feature enhances incident response times and ensures that users' access to sensitive applications is securely revoked when necessary.
How Does Cerby's Integration Work?
Cerby has partnered with Okta to extend the reach of its Universal Logout feature to non-federated applications secured by Cerby. This collaboration enables enterprises to manage user sessions across a wider range of applications, including those that have yet to implement Okta's global token revocation specification.
Other Universal Logout integrations terminate the target application session and stop there–just one session in one application. Cerby’s integration builds on this by providing a one-to-many relationship for Universal Logout, delivering comprehensive security and simplified administration. This partnership between Cerby and Okta gives organizations a unified approach to managing user access threats across their diverse application landscape.
Key Benefits of Extending Okta’s Universal Logout
- Enhanced Security: By revoking all active user sessions in participating applications simultaneously, the integration between Cerby and Okta gives IT and security teams a powerful new tool in the fight against bad actors.
- Improved Incident Response: With the ability to quickly revoke access across a broad set of business applications, enterprises can respond more quickly and effectively to security incidents, minimizing potential damage.
- Seamless Integration: Cerby's integration with Okta extends the application coverage of Universal Logout, enabling a unified approach to managing user access threats, regardless of the application's SAML or OIDC capabilities.
A unified approach to security
Cerby and Okta's integration of Universal Logout represents a revolution in enterprise security. Together, these solutions enhance user access threat management across web and mobile applications, enabling enterprises to respond more effectively to security incidents and revoke access securely and immediately, when necessary.
With Cerby extending Okta’s Universal Logout capabilities to a broader range of applications, global enterprises can now benefit from a secure and unified approach to managing application access for every user, in every team. This partnership is poised to transform how organizations protect their sensitive data and critical applications.
