Okta Partners With NCC Group, Palo Alto Networks To Enhance Global Identity Security

Okta has formed strategic partnerships with both NCC Group and Palo Alto Networks to enhance cybersecurity measures focused on identity and access management (IAM) and customer identity and access management (CIAM). The collaboration with NCC Group leverages their cybersecurity expertise alongside Okta's adaptive multi-factor authentication and identity security solutions to protect against sophisticated attacks such as credential stuffing and session hijacking, while also securing supply chain ecosystems. Meanwhile, Okta's expanded partnership with Palo Alto Networks integrates Okta Workforce Identity with Palo Alto's Prisma Access Browser and Cortex SecOps platform, enabling automated threat responses, secure application access from any device, and unified identity risk monitoring across attack surfaces. These AI-driven integrations empower organizations to enforce zero-trust principles, reduce security barriers, and respond swiftly to identity-related cyber threats by combining identity intelligence with AI-powered security platforms. Both partnerships address the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks by delivering comprehensive, real-time security solutions aimed at safeguarding customer and business data in cloud and on-premises environments. Industry leaders emphasize that these collaborations enhance interoperability and scalability in security operations, positioning joint customers to better mitigate evolving threats with reduced operational overhead.
