Okta, Inc. and ServiceNow announced the launch of the Okta Identity Cloud for Security Operations app to make threat detection easier and more efficient. The app, now available for purchase in the ServiceNow® Store, is built on an integration with ServiceNow Security Operations to help businesses stay ahead of and protect against modern threat actors using ServiceNow. It takes organizations an average of 66 days to contain a breach, according to the Ponemon Institute. Manual processes and silos between security and IT teams make it difficult for security teams to keep up with alerts and resolve security incidents and vulnerabilities. The Okta Identity Cloud, integrated with ServiceNow Security Operations, helps organizations drastically shorten the time they are exposed to user-related risk. The integration helps organizations quickly and easily see extended user information from Okta within ServiceNow so that they can better assess the scope and scale of an incident and take immediate action against an affected user. Using Okta’s identity data feed with ServiceNow Security Operations, organizations can view user identity context and manage security incidents without leaving the ServiceNow platform. The Okta Identity Cloud for Security Operations app automatically summarizes user behavior for an active incident, such as recent logins, which applications they use and group memberships. It also speeds up resolution time by providing actionable user controls.
