Cerby Teams with Okta to Elevate Security Posture with Universal Logout 

Cerby, the comprehensive identity platform for disconnected applications, today announced it’s collaborating with  Okta, the leading independent Identity partner,  to improve threat detection and response when user accounts are compromised.

Cerby is introducing a new integration that enhances coverage of Universal Logout, part of Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI, to any application by leveraging Cerby’s capability to support application logout without requiring public APIs. This capability is particularly useful when security threats are detected, and immediate response is critical. Cerby’s technology enables Okta to build reliable and scalable integrations without requiring application changes. It also allows Okta customers to protect a broader set of applications, including those out of scope for traditional identity providers. 

Universal Logout enables organizations to terminate user sessions and their tokens for supported applications when Identity Threat Protection detects a change in risk, enabling faster threat response and significantly reducing the attack window.

Universal Logout key features include:

Comprehensive Access Revocation

  • One-click revocation across all devices and supported applications
  • Support for top applications, including those from Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, Slack, and more
  • Continuous expansion of supported applications

Intelligent, Context-Aware Action

  • Responds to changes in device context without user interaction
  • Triggers logout even for out-of-band signals, a unique capability in the industry
  • Adapts logout actions based on risk level and affected applications

Deep Access Revocation

  • Eliminates all active tokens and session data
  • Dismantles the entire chain of authorization inheritance
  • Works to eliminate  lingering access points 

Seamless Integration

  • Works with Okta’s Post-Auth Actions and Entity Risk Policy
  • Complements Identity Threat Protection’s precision risk response capabilities  

As a result of the integration, organizations can bolster their security posture by significantly reducing the window of vulnerability during security events and enabling an immediate response mechanism when user accounts are compromised. In addition, they can improve operational efficiencies through streamlined security operations, incident processes, and simplified user offboarding procedures.

The new integration will become generally available later in 2024.
