Strengthening Security with Mimecast Human Risk and Okta Integration
API 2.0 Compatible
The integration between Mimecast Human Risk Management and Okta enhances organizational security by combining identity and behavioral risk insights. Mimecast’s Human Risk platform continuously evaluates user behavior to detect potential security threats, such as phishing susceptibility and unsafe email actions. By integrating with Okta’s identity and access management platform, organizations can dynamically adjust access policies based on real-time human risk scores. This powerful combination enables a more adaptive, risk-aware security posture, helping to reduce the attack surface and proactively protect against insider threats and account compromise.
Solution overview
- Dynamic Risk-Based Access Control: Automatically adjust Okta access policies based on real-time user risk scores from Mimecast Human Risk Command Center to reduce exposure to compromised or vulnerable accounts.
- Enhanced User Behavior Visibility: Combine Mimecast’s behavioral risk insights with Okta’s identity management to gain a comprehensive view of user risk and security posture.
- Automated Security Response: Enable proactive risk mitigation by triggering conditional access or multi-factor authentication (MFA) challenges for users flagged as high-risk.
