Enhanced visibility and control with Azure AD and Okta integration

Cloud Entitlements integrates with leading identity providers (IdPs) like Azure AD and Okta to provide comprehensive visibility and control over federated access to cloud resources. This integration allows organizations to gain deeper insights into user activity, streamline access management, and strengthen their overall security posture.

Use Cases

Centralized View of Federated Identities

By integrating with Azure AD and Okta, Cloud Entitlements aggregates and displays all user identities, including those authenticated through federation, in a single, unified view. This eliminates the need to switch between different management consoles and provides a comprehensive understanding of who has access to cloud resources, regardless of their authentication source. Security teams can easily identify all users, their associated IdP, and their access privileges across the organization's cloud environment.

Detailed User Access Attributes

The integration enriches access information with granular details from the IdP, such as user attributes (e.g., department, location, job title), group memberships (e.g., security teams, development teams), and assigned roles (e.g., administrator, read-only). This rich context enables security teams to make informed decisions about access control, ensuring that users have the appropriate permissions based on their roles and responsibilities within the organization.

Automated Provisioning and Deprovisioning

Cloud Entitlements leverages the integration with Azure AD and Okta to automate user provisioning and de-provisioning workflows. When a user is created or modified in the IdP, Cloud Entitlements automatically creates or updates the corresponding identity in the cloud environment, granting or revoking access based on pre-defined policies and role assignments. Similarly, when a user is deactivated or removed from the IdP, Cloud Entitlements automatically de-provisions their access, preventing orphaned accounts and minimizing security risks.

Benefits of Integration

• Enhanced Visibility: gain a complete understanding of all user access, including federated access through Azure AD and Okta.
• Improved Security: identify and mitigate potential security risks associated with federated access by leveraging enriched context from the IdP.
• Streamlined Management: simplify access management processes with automated provisioning and de-provisioning.
• Increased Efficiency: reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency by centralizing identity and access management.
• Enhanced Compliance: ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices by maintaining a comprehensive audit trail of all access activity.

By integrating with Azure AD and Okta, Cloud Entitlements empowers organizations to effectively manage and secure access to cloud resources in today's complex and dynamic environments.
