Protect Against Account Takeover

Halt identity attacks—and stop fraudsters in their tracks—by securing your customer logins.

An account takeover (ATO) is an identity attack where the hacker gains unauthorized access to your users’ accounts and steals money, credentials, or information. Did you know that 80% of targeted takeovers can be traced to weak or stolen passwords? That’s why Okta uses smart adaptive policies and strong authentication to protect your valuable consumer accounts from multiple risks.

Adaptive Authentication

We automatically analyze the risk from contextual signals associated with login requests, with no user input or interaction required.

Our AMFA serves as a powerful ally against account takeovers by:

Analyzing signals associated with each authentication request

Using AI/ML in conjunction with a heuristics-based policy engine for security coverage

Integrating Okta’s threat-feed to provide insight into an attacker’s profile

Eliminating friction for legitimate users by only prompting MFA during elevated risk scenarios

Deploying MFA at login as well as downstream in the application

Eliminating passwords in the authentication journey
Providing an administrative console for effective security management and quick response
