New Feature
Protect Okta with Druva
Administrators can now bridge the "Identity Gap" by securing their identity control plane against cyber threats, accidental deletions, and configuration errors. This feature provides air-gapped, immutable backups of tenant data—including users, groups, policies, and application configurations—to eliminate single points of failure. By storing backups in a dedicated security cloud isolated from the Okta environment, recovery points remain tamper-proof even if a tenant is fully compromised.
Benefits
With this feature, administrators can:
Ensure automated, relationship-aware recovery: Restore users while automatically reconnecting their group memberships, application entitlements, and MFA policies to ensure immediate productivity.
Perform granular or full-organization rollbacks: Minimize downtime by reversing human error or malicious activity, whether restoring a single deleted group or an entire organization.
Accelerate incident investigations: Compare two backup snapshots side-by-side to pinpoint exactly what changed and when a change occurred.
Simplify M&A and DevOps workflows: Securely seed or recover configurations and users from one tenant to another for rapid sandbox validation or disaster recovery to clean instances.
Impact
This update enhances data integrity and security compliance by providing a secure "undo button" that restores complex relationships and dependencies required for functional access.
