Protect Against Account Takeover
Secure customer accounts by stopping identity and credential attacks
An account takeover (ATO) is an identity attack where an attacker gains unauthorized access using a range of attack methods such as credential stuffing, phishing, and session hijacking to gain access to customer accounts and steal something of value.
Leading organizations trust Okta to secure their customer accounts
What types of attacks does Okta’s account takeover solution prevent?
We know attackers leverage a number of different attack vectors, so we built protections against the most common attack types.
Okta products for layered protection against account takeovers
Authentication
Okta authentication provides a secure front door for your customer authentication experience using standards like SAML and OpenID/OIDC. Properly implemented authentication reaps security benefits including:
- Reducing the security risks associated with broken authentication
- Enforcing strong password requirements and detecting commonly used passwords
- Adding MFA for social authentication providers
- Securing password reset and recovery flows from attackers
- Embedding modern security for applications hosted on-premises
Multi-Factor Authentication
Leverage a wide range of factor options to enforce strong primary or step-up authentication to meet customers’ assurance-level requirements. This additional layer of security stops attackers by:
- Deploying at login or even downstream in the application
- Managing the entire MFA lifecycle across enrollment, authentication, and recovery
- Eliminating passwords in the authentication journey
- Providing an administrative console for effective security management and quick response
