Okta data connector

Okta is a cloud-based identity and access management platform that manages user authentication, authorization, life cycle provisioning, MFA enforcement, and access policies across enterprise applications.

Since Okta acts as the identity gateway for business-critical systems, compromised accounts, unauthorized privilege changes, or policy misconfigurations can quickly lead to widespread access abuse.

Log360's Okta extension enables organizations to collect, parse, normalize, analyze, correlate, and archive log data from Okta. With this extension, security teams can detect unauthorized access attempts, privilege escalations, anomalous login patterns, and configuration changes in real time.

Building on this detection and correlation capability, the extension now also supports SOAR actions, allowing security teams to automate identity response directly from incident workflows and move seamlessly from visibility to containment within Log360.

Some use cases for Log360’s SOAR capabilities

Immediately suspend compromised users

When Log360 correlates high-risk authentication behavior—such as repeated failed logins followed by a successful sign-in from an unfamiliar location—it can automatically trigger the suspendAUser action.

This instantly blocks the user from accessing applications integrated with Okta, preventing further misuse while investigation continues. Instead of manually navigating the Okta console, analysts can contain identity threats directly from the incident playbook.

Similarly, you can automate actions such as:

• Reset passwords or expire credentials using resetPassword, setPassword, or expirePassword to enforce secure re-authentication after suspicious activity.
• Modify group memberships dynamically using addToGroup or removeFromGroup to enforce least-privilege access during active investigations.
