SpyCloud’s integration with Okta Identity Threat Protection (ITP) uses the Shared Signals Framework (SSF) to convert identity exposure data – from infostealer malware, phishing kits, third-party breaches, and combolists – into actionable risk signals that flow directly into Okta’s risk engine. Okta ITP continuously ingests those signals to update user risk levels, trigger adaptive authentication, and initiate automated remediation.
HOW IT WORKS
Real-Time Risk Updates SpyCloud transforms exposures into standardized SSF signals that Okta ITP uses to adjust user risk dynamically
Customizable Risk Mapping Tailor risk levels and response actions (step-up MFA, password reset, session revocation, or account suspension) to align with your organization’s security policies
Prevent Authentication Bypass Trigger Universal Logout before a hijacked session reaches your environment to prevent authentication bypass
Noise Reduction Controls Filter out weak or low-value exposures to focus on meaningful risk signals.
Zero engineering overhead SpyCloud manages the integration end to end; no Workflows to build or maintain
BENEFITS
Collect: SpyCloud recaptures identity data directly from the criminal underground
Match + classify: Exposures are matched against your SpyCloud Watchlist and classified by type and risk level: Low (breach), Medium (phishing), High (malware), Critical (your Okta tenant URL discovered in malware or phished data)
Signal: SpyCloud transmits a JWT-signed Security Event Token (SET) to your Okta ITP SSF receiver endpoint
Respond: Okta ITP evaluates the signal against your entity risk policy and acts automatically: step-up MFA, forced password reset, Universal Logout, session revocation, or downstream Workflow trigger
NEW RESEARCH: Over 2/3 of orgs had an identity event last year – NHIs were the top cause. Read on→
