Better Together: Okta + Palo Alto Networks

Together, Okta and Palo Alto Networks provide a comprehensive security fabric that safeguards the modern government workforce. By integrating Okta’s industry-leading identity platform with Palo Alto Networks’ best-of-breed security portfolio—including Cortex, Prisma, and Strata—agencies can eliminate implicit trust and automate security operations. This joint approach enables organizations to align with the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and meet the requirements of Executive Order 14028. Agencies gain secure, seamless access to mission-critical applications from any device, anywhere, without sacrificing user experience or operational efficiency.


 

  • Automate Security Operations: Bridge identity and security operations by integrating Okta with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR, enabling automated actions such as suspending compromised users or enforcing password resets in seconds.
  • Secure the Hybrid Workforce: Deliver secure, seamless access for remote employees and contractors through Okta’s adaptive MFA combined with Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access (SASE).
  • Achieve Zero Trust Compliance: Accelerate alignment with Executive Order 14028 and OMB M-22-09 by implementing a “never trust, always verify” architecture across identity and network layers.
  • Fight AI with AI: Defend against AI-driven identity attacks by sharing risk signals between Okta Identity Threat Protection and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM/XDR for real-time risk scoring and response.
  • Protect Legacy & Modern Applications: Apply consistent MFA policies across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises legacy applications using Okta identity enforcement and Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls.

Okta and Palo Alto Networks have engineered deep, bi-directional integrations to create a closed-loop Zero Trust security architecture. Okta provides identity context—who the user is—while Palo Alto Networks delivers security context—whether the device, behavior, or activity is safe. By sharing intelligence in real time, agencies can enforce dynamic, risk-based policies that reduce complexity, eliminate tool silos, and significantly strengthen their overall security posture from the network edge to the SOC.
