Overview

Strengthen identity resilience for Okta

Ensure that Okta remains secure, trusted, and operational—before, during, and after an attack.

Continuous protection and flexible recovery

Automated snapshots capture every user, group, rules, apps, and policies. Restore specific objects, attribute-level changes, or your entire tenant after accidental deletions and catastrophic outages. 

Identity threat detection and response

Automate IOE scanning to assess critical configurations and map them to MITRE and NIST frameworks. Drill down findings to understand severity, evidence objects, and step-by-step remediation guidance.

Complete hybrid identity protection

Detect, withstand, and recover from identity-based attacks across your entire identity fabric from a unified platform. Achieve seamless identity resilience across Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta. 

Benefits

Reduce identity risks and ensure access continuity

Speed recovery and access restoration

Reduce identity recovery time to get your organization back online faster. Restore what you need with granular recovery of Okta identities and configurations, or recover entire tenants. 

Lower TCO

Eliminate point solutions and manual recovery processes that drain resources and increase overhead costs. Unify identity resilience with the rest of your data security platform, Cohesity Data Cloud.

Strengthen resilience

Scan for IOEs and remediate threats before they become a full-blown incident. Ensure that your cloud identity infrastructure can recover from cyber events and human error. 

Okta Identity Resilience FAQs

Okta identity resilience refers to solutions, strategies, and best practices designed to ensure continuity of Okta’s identity services even in the face of IT disruptions, misconfigurations, or cyber events. It requires an end-to-end approach, often involving proactive security hardening, continuous backup, and fast recovery.  

Cohesity protects Okta by automating real-time snapshots of critical Okta objects, including users, groups, group rules, apps, and policies.  

Once protected, Cohesity can ensure rapid and flexible recovery of Okta to ensure that access is preserved, and organizations can ensure identity resilience for Okta. In addition, Cohesity can rapidly roll back misconfigurations and remediate detected threats to prevent risky changes from becoming full-blown incidents, reducing risk from identity-based attacks 

All Cohesity backups, including backups of critical Okta objects, are stored in immutable storage. Cohesity snapshots, including backups of critical Okta objects are stored in our immutable file system. Even the file system itself cannot modify snapshots once they are created.  

In addition, built-in security features such as role-based access control (RBAC), multifactor authentication (MFA), quorum, and encryption help ensure that Okta backups remain recoverable, even during a ransomware attack. 

As part of the Cohesity Data Cloud, Cohesity Identity Resilience is Cohesity’s all-in-one solution for strengthening resilience across hybrid identity infrastructure. This solution protects Okta, Active Directory, and Entra ID by providing unified visibility, continuous protection, and rapid recovery of all 3 identity workloads at scale. This ensures that critical identity infrastructure can be quickly and confidently recovered in the event of a misconfiguration or a cyber incident. Backups of Okta, Active Directory, and Entra ID are stored in immutable, durable storage with a variety of built-in security controls like role-based access controls (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), quorum, and encryption that helps ensure that they are always recoverable. 

Cohesity is proven to be able to recover massive amounts of data at speed. However, the recovery of every workload, including Okta, depends on the specific environment of an organization.
