Overview
Druva for Okta is a simple, cloud-based solution designed to protect the most essential components of your system: your user identities and access settings within Okta. It achieves this by automatically taking copies (backups) of essential Okta settings and data.
This solution provides strong recovery options necessary to maintain business continuity, guard against mistakes, and recover from ransomware attacks.
NOTE: Protection for Okta is available as part of the Identity Resilience suite. Alternatively, customers may purchase coverage individually with an Enterprise License for this specific application. Learn more.
Why Okta Data Needs Protection
Okta is your organization's control center for managing who can log in and what they can access (IAM). It handles your Single Sign-On (SSO)—using one password for all apps—and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)—the extra security checks.
If your Okta environment goes down or is compromised, access to all your cloud applications and services immediately stops.
Okta faces risks that standard tools can't fully handle:
Ransomware and Cyber Attacks: Criminals frequently attack user identities as the first way to get into your network and move around undetected.
Mistakes and Errors: Simple human errors, incorrect settings, intentional malicious changes, or problems with system integrations can lead to immediate login outages, blocking user access to essential work apps.
The traditional method of protecting Okta involved manually exporting data with complex scripts. That's slow, unreliable, and highly prone to errors during a crisis.
Achieving Identity Resilience
Druva provides an Automated Backup and Recovery solution that resolves the issues associated with manual protection methods.
The core capability is Identity Resilience, defined as the ability to recover all user access. This capability allows IT teams to quickly recover after data loss, protect critical user data, and easily provide proof of meeting compliance regulations.
