Identity is the #1 attack vector. Today, over 80% of data breaches involve compromised credentials. For organizations managing millions of external identities, the stakes are even higher: a single hijacked session can drain loyalty rewards and compromise sensitive data, while bot-driven fake accounts poison marketing analytics and erode platform trust.
At Okta, we believe security shouldn't stop at the front door. Today, we are thrilled to announce that Identity Threat Protection (ITP) for Okta Customer Identity (OCI) is now in Early Access.
Security That Never Sleeps: Before, During, and After Login
Traditional security often focuses only on the point of authentication. ITP for OCI changes the paradigm by providing a continuous, identity-centric control plane that protects users throughout their entire active session lifecycle.
Our end-to-end defense strategy focuses on three critical stages:
1. Before Login: Battling Bad Bots
Shield your digital properties by stopping automated attacks before they ever reach your user database. ITP uses AI-powered detection to evaluate IP reputation and behavioral signals to block scripted "new user" registrations used for promo abuse.
This helps maintain a clean user database and ensures customer growth analytics reflect real humans, not bots.
2. During Login: Preventing Account Takeovers
Authenticate with confidence by instantly identifying and blocking the primary catalyst for Account Takeover (ATO): compromised credentials. Using Enhanced Breached Credentials Protection, Okta detects if a malicious actor is attempting to sign in with credentials found on public data dumps or the dark web.
This drastically reduces large-scale fraud and the associated customer support overhead.
3. After Login: Stopping Session Hijacking
Identity threats don't stop at login, and neither does ITP. By continuously monitoring active sessions for "Impossible Travel" or sudden context shifts (like a new device or IP), ITP can instantly trigger remediation to kill hijacked sessions across all supported applications simultaneously.
This helps neutralize token theft midstream to protect high-value customer actions, such as fund transfers or profile changes.
Delivering Secure, Frictionless Growth
In the world of Customer Identity, every millisecond of friction can lead to lost revenue. ITP for OCI is designed to balance robust fraud prevention with a seamless user experience. By continuously assessing risk behind the scenes, you can stay "silent" when risk is low, ensuring high conversion rates and long-term customer loyalty while maintaining a modern, Zero Trust security posture.
Whether you are looking to secure a high-traffic product launch, prevent loyalty point fraud, or automate your threat response at scale, Identity Threat Protection for OCI provides the continuous intelligence needed to grow your business safely.
