Integration detail

Overview

Okta and Arkose Labs work together to protect against online attacks and safeguard user login and registration: Arkose Labs intercepts malicious and inauthentic login traffic before it reaches your app, while Okta securely verifies authentic users. Suspicious login attempts are presented with a challenge-response mechanism from Arkose Labs that bot and human-assisted attacks can’t solve at scale. Challenges don't block legitimate users, and are only presented when the context is suspicious, minimizing interruptions to the user authentication flow.

The Challenge

Websites and mobile apps are under attack as fraudsters attempt to take over legitimate accounts and leverage fake accounts for fraud, spam, and abuse
Attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, causing enterprises of all types to look for new defenses to add to their toolkits
As organizations attempt to counter these evolving attacks, they need to balance deploying heightened security capabilities with ease of use for authentic users

The Solution

Okta and Arkose Labs work together to protect against online attacks and safeguard user login and registration

Suspicious login attempts are presented with a challenge-response mechanism from Arkose Labs’ solution that bot and human-assisted attacks can’t solve at scale

Arkose Labs intercept malicious and inauthentic login traffic before it reaches your app, while Okta securely verifies authentic users

Challenges do not block user and are only presented when the context is suspicious, minimizing interruptions to the user authentication flow

Defend against automated fraud and abuse

Arkose Labs neutralize attacks by combining telemetry to detect unrecognized traffic with a challenge-response mechanism that sorts login traffic into two categories: authentic or inauthentic. Challenges are easily solved by authentic users, but cannot be executed by automated or human-assisted attackers at scale. Authentic login traffic is passed to Okta to safely and securely evaluate the attempts for access rights and permissions. Arkose Labs guarantee fraudsters can’t solve their challenges at scale with an independent SLA.

Enhance security and enable a smooth sign-on experience at the same time

Built with end users in mind, Okta and Arkose Labs combine to offer a double layer of defense against inauthentic login attempts, without disrupting authorized users. Additionally, the code-based integration resides within the Okta form and does not require reverse proxies, daily rule setting, or additional hardware.
