Okta

Connect Sola and Okta to get security insights

The Okta integration connects data from your Okta account to your Sola workspace, making it easy to search and find answers to your specific use cases.

Overview

The Okta integration provides a complete view of your identity and access across your organization, allowing you to monitor and analyze Okta security posture and potential threats.

With the Okta integration, you can:

• Gain visibility into user identities, groups, and roles.

• Monitor Okta activity and get insights into configuration settings.

• Ensure users and applications only have the access they actually need.

• Maintain security best practices for your Okta environment.

Your data can only be retrieved, never modified.

Once connected, your data is securely stored, and access is restricted to retrieving configurations and metadata only. Authentication methods ensure secure delegation of permissions while maintaining data integrity.
