Context-Aware Access with Okta & JIT Group Provisioning

Enable Zero Standing Privileges with enriched, context-aware access and provide JIT provisioning to Okta Groups

Okta Groups

Okta SCIM

Okta SSO

Okta is a cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) platform that enables secure authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and user management. It helps organizations centrally manage and control access to applications and resources across both cloud and on-premises environments

Integration Overview

Apono integrates seamlessly with Okta to deliver Zero Standing Privileges and Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning to Okta Groups. In addition, Okta enriches Apono’s policy engine with attributes that enhance context-based access control across cloud resources, SaaS applications, internal systems, and SASE platforms.

The integration also enables your organization to use single sign-on (SSO) via Okta to log in to Apono.

Through JIT provisioning into Okta groups, users are dynamically added to the right groups so they can access their organization’s internal applications and business tools, such as Salesforce, Slack, Google Drive, Atlassian, Datadog, Monday.com, Zoom, and Office 365. Once their task is complete, they are automatically removed from the Okta group, eliminating standing privileges.

In parallel, Apono leverages attribute-based SCIM from Okta, consuming attributes such as group mapping, location, country, role, region, department, and user type (e.g., engineer, DevOps, backend, manager, contractor). These attributes are synced in real time and enforced in Apono’s policy engine to ensure fine-grained, compliant, and context-aware access control, aligned with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI.

Use Cases

JIT and Just Enough Access

Leverage user attributes and Okta group membership to provision real-time, granular, context-rich, least-privilege access to cloud resources.
Achieve just-in-time user provisioning to Okta groups for customized, real-time organizational access scenarios—such as business applications, SASE platforms, or internal apps.

Project-Based Collaboration

Provision users dynamically into Okta groups for temporary project or team assignments, such as cross-functional initiatives or client engagements.
Grant contractors temporary access to required SaaS tools (e.g., Jira, Slack, GitHub, Monday.com) and internal applications for the duration of their project.

Risk and Compliance

Eliminate standing and over-privileged accounts, as well as unused permissions, to achieve Zero Standing Privileges.
Protect sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI) and maintain audit-ready access logs for complete visibility.
Enforce attribute-based, context-aware access policies to ensure regulatory compliance while your workforce accesses your customers’ data.
