Okta + CrowdStrike
Enforcing secure access across human and non-human identities
Combine best-in-class solutions for identity management and endpoint security to simplify and secure access – for trusted users, devices, and AI agents running across your enterprise.
The Challenge
Enterprise teams need to protect all web, cloud, and on-premises enterprise access and activity in an ever-evolving threatscape
The expansion of remote and hybrid workforces means workers need unfettered anytime access from both managed and unmanaged devices
A new blindspot is emerging: employees are installing local AI agents and coding assistants that connect to MCP servers reaching apps, databases, and filesystems
Companies need new tools for real-time threat assessment and fine-grained access management so they can repel internal and external threats while keeping users productive
The Solution
Okta and CrowdStrike deliver the actionable user and device intelligence your teams need to evaluate login risk and make intelligent real-time or automated access decisions
The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform provides unparalleled endpoint visibility from Falcon Zero Trust Assessment of device posture to running agents and local MCP servers
Okta’s Workforce Identity Cloud centralizes identity management for every identity, human and AI, turning discovered agents into managed identities bound to a human sponsor and applying fine-grained, contextual responses.
Together, these solutions establish a trust chain across users, devices, and agents – helping enterprises quickly stand up a secure, flexible Zero Trust environment that now extends to shadow AI.
To enhance your security posture, we’ve embedded Secure Identity Integrations (SII) into our joint solution to deliver deep integrations, in addition to SSO and SCIM, with out-of-the-box capabilities to simplify access, achieve compliance goals, and enable rapid response to security threats with built-in remediation. For example, no-code Workflows help automate identity based processes like user management and server access or Entitlements Management to eliminate manual processes and complex group-based management.
This empowers you to get the data-driven insights you need to support reliable, automated access decisions so your teams can support hybrid work productivity while keeping the enterprise safe.
Unify context, automate access, and close every blind spot
Okta and CrowdStrike unify login risk and endpoint health – via Falcon Zero Trust Assessment and Falcon Insight XDR’s visibility into local agents and MCP servers – into one real-time signal for every identity type. That context drives automated response: block suspected users, require step up or passwordless authentication with Okta FastPass, or contain a flagged agent process instantly. Secure Identity integrations and no-code workflows extend the same automation to user management and entitlements, while joiner-mover-leaver and just-in-time policies govern AI agents exactly like employees. The result is one unified view of enterprise access – closing the blind spots that come from juggling tools, and the shadow AI gap before it becomes a breach.
Why it matters
Provide your remote and on-premises workforce and every AI agent they run with safe, governed access to apps and data, from any device, at any time.
Minimize security blind spots with a consolidated view of access requests, device posture, and shadow activity.
Evaluate endpoint health and user context across your organization in real time to inform smart, automated access decisions.
Confidently automate appropriate access, including passwordless authentication, with contextual security responses in real time.
Keep users productive and AI adoption moving fast, while keeping enterprise assets safe from internal, external, and agentic threats.
Add device and identity context that informs access request decisions into enterprise resources
Okta’s and CrowdStrike’s powerful insights into user and device context feed into a unified dashboard view of enterprise access, eliminating the security blindspots that can arise when IT teams try to manage too many solutions in parallel. Armed with this view, your teams can easily manage enterprise access policies that protect all corporate resources, in the cloud or on-premises, and sync data to reporting and monitoring tools for further analysis and correlation when required.
Confidently automate responses to access requests by establishing trusted users and devices
Okta and CrowdStrike help your teams deliver a great end user experience, by authorizing fast, context-aware access to enterprise resources without compromising on security or compliance mandates. The integration makes it easy for your teams to evaluate incoming user and device data against centralized access policies, so they can block suspect users, require step-up authentication, or deny access from devices that don’t match your organization’s security posture requirements. Contextual data can also inform access decisions for strong passwordless authentication, including WebAuthn and Okta FastPass, reducing the risk of account takeover.
