Zscaler + Okta
Simplify authentication and provisioning, enable adaptive zero trust access, and accelerate your digital transformation efforts with Zscaler and Okta.
Providing security in a cloud-first world
As your enterprise applications move from traditional on-premises data centers to the cloud, protecting them from unauthorized access poses challenges, including:
Remote employees and devices as well as perimeter-based architectures expand your attack surface
Users get frustrated with separate credentials for cloud vs. on-prem apps as well as latency from VPNs/firewalls
Manually integrating, deploying, and managing VPNs, MPLS, and firewalls is expensive and complex
Moving to the cloud requires you to modernize your infrastructure, but replacing your hardware can be daunting
Enable work from anywhere, dynamically manage role changes, and simplify management with cloud delivery and SCIM integration—without costly VPNs and firewalls.
Simplify deployment and enable fast, direct, secure access to apps anywhere with seamless SAML integration for SSO and sharing of user and device context.
Ensure zero trust access with risk-based continuous authentication that connects users directly to authorized apps without accessing the network.
HOW IT WORKS
Verify user identity
Zero trust starts with identity. The first step is to authenticate users. Once validated, access rights are verified based on context and the principles of least-privileged access to ensure users can only access applications for which they've been authorized.
Authenticate user identity
Verify user credentials based on employee data, including email and access entitlements
Auto provision new users
Add new users to the Zscaler database to ensure security policies are properly applied
Securely enable work from anywhere
Zscaler and Okta reduce the risks associated with BYOD and unmanaged devices, enabling users to securely work from anywhere, on any device, at any time.
Determine device status
Assess trusted or untrusted device status via SAML
Block or redirect risky BYOD
Control application access for unmanaged devices, blocking or sending them to browser isolation
Enable secure access to SaaS apps
Enforce Zscaler zero trust policies for unmanaged devices by authenticating users through Okta
Dynamically manage access rights
Synchronize users and security groups with Zscaler and Okta to automatically manage application access rights.
SCIM integration
Update role changes (e.g., adds, transfers, exits) in near-real time with SCIM integration to ensure access and security policies are enforced.
Zscaler and Okta help improve the user experience, automate provisioning, and streamline the onboarding process for M&A transactions.
Ciena boosts employee engagement with secure cloud transformation and enhances the user experience using Zscaler, VMware SD-WAN, and Okta.
