Palo Alto Networks And Okta Join Hands For AI Identity Security
The native integration between Okta Workforce Identity and Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Browser creates a new conditional access method to restrict access to SSO apps by using only the secure browser. A second integration between Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI and Palo Alto Networks AI-driven Cortex SecOps platform provides organizations with a unified view of identity-related risks across their entire attack surface. This integration extends to Cortex XSIAM® and Cortex XDR®, creating a comprehensive response to the most advanced attacks.
'AI is supercharging attacks on user credentials, requiring a 'fight AI with AI' approach that brings identity directly into an organization's security infrastructure for a real-time and unified response,' said Stephen Lee, VP of Technology Partnerships at Okta. 'With Palo Alto Networks, Okta is proud to enhance the interoperability of our AI-powered platforms to prevent risks of siloed tools, providing nearly 2000 joint customers with a comprehensive view of their security posture, context-aware access controls, and secure authentication to stay ahead of today's threats.'
'Identity plays a critical role in cybersecurity,' said Pam Cyr, VP of Technical Partnerships at Palo Alto Networks. 'Our deep integrations with Okta ensure that our solutions are engineered to work together, making it easier for our customers to achieve higher levels of security and user experience. These new integrations, from securing application access with Prisma Access Browser to providing unified protection against identity threats through our Cortex platform, empower organizations with comprehensive, AI-driven defense.'
These two new integrations help provide a clear, integrated path for joint customers to confidently secure their operations while reducing costs and complexity: Securing Access on Any Device: With Okta Workforce Identity and Prisma Access Browser, enterprises now have a critical layer of defense for web-based activity. Employees can now securely access corporate web applications and data from managed or unmanaged devices without compromising enterprise security. Users will benefit from a secure, consistent, seamless, and fast browsing experience, while security teams gain enhanced visibility and control over SaaS and web application usage.

Unified Identity Threat Detection and Automated Response: The integration of Okta's Identity Threat Protection solution with Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XDR enables dynamic enforcement of additional authentication for risky access and user activity. It triggers immediate, automated responses to threats such as revoking user access, ending active sessions, and quarantining endpoints.
'CISOs are clear: to move at pace with the threat landscape, security teams need integrated platforms, not just more solutions. With the rapid adoption of cloud services, SaaS applications, remote work, and now the advent of AI, organizations are being challenged by added complexity and gaps in security tools,' said Maxine Holt, Vice President, Enterprise & Channel Research at Omdia. 'By unifying their offerings, Okta and Palo Alto Networks are helping customers streamline operations, reduce complexity, and improve coverage of the attack surface.'

Tenable One Surpasses 300 Integrations, Delivering the Security Industry's Most Open Exposure Management Platform
Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced a major new milestone as the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform now features over 300 validated integrations, making it the most open and interconnected exposure management platform on the market. This solidifies Tenable's position as the central hub for security data, analytics, and unified risk reduction, limiting the industry silos caused by fragmented visibility that have long plagued security teams. In an era where the average enterprise uses 83 different cybersecurity tools1, organizations face a chaotic and siloed view of their attack surface. This fragmentation creates dangerous blind spots that attackers exploit, while security teams waste critical time manually reconciling disparate data instead of stopping threats. Tenable One uniquely solves this challenge by serving as the essential connective tissue for the security stack. While exposure management is still a newer area of focus for most organizations, it has become clear that a robust but open platform with bi-directional partnership among vendors is essential to a preventative approach to cyber risk reduction. 'A closed-off platform isn't just an inconvenience – it's a security risk, and Tenable is leading the charge to tear down these walls,' said Eric Doerr, chief product officer at Tenable. 'Reaching over 300 integrations is a fundamental shift in cyber control. We're giving our customers the power to see everything, connect everything, and manage their exposure from a single, unified platform without having to replace the tools they already trust. This is the future of cybersecurity, and Tenable is delivering it today.' The Tenable One platform unifies data from across the technology ecosystem—including endpoint detection and response (EDR), cloud native application protection platforms (CNAPP), asset inventory, privileged access management (PAM) tools and more—to provide a single, contextualized view of risk. By ingesting and correlating third-party data, Tenable One enriches it with threat intelligence and business context that identifies blind spots, allowing teams to visualize attack paths and perform contextual analysis to cut through the noise and focus on the exposures that matter most. By seamlessly integrating with IT service management systems, communication platforms, security information and event management (SIEM) tools, and patch management tools, Tenable One doesn't just provide insight—it drives action. The platform automates remediation workflows and streamlines cross-team collaboration, dramatically reducing the time it takes to investigate and close exposures. Two-thirds of Tenable One customers — including many of the most security-mature organizations — already leverage Tenable integrations. This open ecosystem delivers measurable impact, with some Tenable customers reporting up to 10x greater visibility and 75% less time spent aggregating data, freeing teams to focus on preemptive, risk-based operations. To further accelerate integration development and expand ecosystem reach, Tenable is introducing a universal integrations connector for the Tenable One platform this fall. This flexible, self-service framework enables customers and partners to easily build and maintain their own integrations – securely connecting custom applications and security tools to Tenable One without waiting on vendor roadmaps. It reinforces Tenable's commitment to openness while empowering organizations to tailor the platform to their unique environments. What Partners Are Saying 'Effective security requires collaboration, and our partnership with Tenable exemplifies this approach in action. By integrating Tenable One's rich exposure data directly into Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk Enterprise Security, and SOAR, we are providing our joint customers with unparalleled context to detect and respond to threats faster than ever before. The breadth of Tenable's ecosystem is a massive force multiplier for security operations teams.' – Gretchen O'Hara, Vice President, Worldwide Channels & Alliances, Splunk 'The traditional boundaries between security and operational teams have blurred, and meaningful risk reduction demands coordinated action across the business. The deep integration between Tenable One and the ServiceNow AI Platform helps close the gap between vulnerability identification and enterprise-scale remediation. Together, we're enabling customers to accelerate response and embed risk reduction into the fabric of how work gets done, ensuring critical exposures are addressed before they can be exploited.' – Lou Fiorello, GVP and GM of Security and Risk Products, ServiceNow 'Compromising privileged access remains the primary goal of cyberattackers, and understanding exposure is critical. The integration between the CyberArk Identity Security Platform and Tenable One gives our joint customers a powerful advantage. With a unified approach that combines deep vulnerability insights with intelligent privilege controls, organizations can pinpoint risks to their most sensitive accounts and act swiftly to secure them, preventing privilege escalation and stopping breaches.' – Joanne Wu, Vice President, Business Development, CyberArk To learn more about the Tenable One platform and its vast ecosystem of integrations, visit 1 IBM report: Capturing the cybersecurity dividend: How security platforms generate business value, January 2025
