Cerby + Okta: Extend Your Identity Perimeter to Disconnected Apps

Bring SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, and visibility to the apps Okta can't reach on its own, SaaS, legacy, on-prem, or homegrown.

As organizations run ever more apps, the ones that sit outside Okta become the hard problem: 30 to 80% of apps are disconnected, meaning they don't support standards like SAML or SCIM. They slip through your identity perimeter, leaving security gaps and driving up manual work. Cerby integrates with Okta to close that gap, extending SSO, MFA, and lifecycle management to every app, whether it's SaaS, legacy, on-prem, or homegrown.

Seamless, secure access for disconnected apps

Let users log in with SSO and FastPass even on apps that don't natively support the standards, and automatically enforce the strongest form of MFA each app supports.

Automated identity management for apps without APIs or SCIM

Provision and deprovision users based on Okta roles and groups, so access changes are reflected immediately across every app, with one-click access termination for faster incident response.

Stronger security for shared privileged accounts

Enforce MFA on shared administrator accounts automatically, revoke privileged access instantly by auto-rotating passwords when a user is deactivated in Okta, and monitor shared-account access at the individual-user level for real accountability.

Complete visibility and control

Bring previously disconnected apps into full view, and turn dark identity signals into actionable intelligence by feeding the data directly into your SIEM.

How Cerby and Okta work together

Configure SAML and SCIM with your Okta tenant using the Cerby app in the Okta Integration Network (OIN), set your security policies in Cerby, and connect any non-standards-based app from Cerby's catalog of pre-built integrations, no custom connectors required. Your workforce reaches everything through the Cerby app inside their existing Okta dashboard, on web and mobile, while IT gains central visibility and control over the entire ecosystem.

Cerby extends the identity security you already run in Okta rather than replacing it, closing gaps, cutting the SSO tax, and freeing IT from manual access work.
