Overview

Okta is an Identity and access management (IAM) platform that centralizes and secures user access to applications and services. It acts as a central, secure hub that allows users to log in to multiple apps with a single set of credentials (SSO) while giving IT teams centralized control over access and security.

With Persona’s Okta integration, you can seamlessly embed identity verification throughout the employee lifecycle — from onboarding to account recovery — to protect against phishing, social engineering, and deepfake attacks.

Organizations can:

• Trigger identity verification during critical moments (e.g., onboarding, password resets, authenticator enrollments)
• Pull user profile data from Okta to enrich verification workflows
• Automate account actions like resetting MFA factors or suspending users— without leaving Okta

This integration helps IT and InfoSec teams reduce account takeover risk, streamline account recovery, and deliver faster, more secure access for employees — while maintaining data compliance and supporting distributed teams.
