Enhance your IAM resilience: Keepit Backup and Recovery for Okta
With the growing adoption of SaaS applications, identity and access management (IAM) has become essential — tools such as Okta enable business operations by giving employees necessary rights and access to perform their daily work.
Just as with Microsoft Entra ID, cyberattacks or misconfigurations due to human error in Okta can have a significant impact on business continuity, making it a vital tool to independently back up.
Why is it important to back up your identity and access management applications?
Identity systems like Okta are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks. They're in essence the key to your organization —losing the ability to monitor, grant and revoke logins or access to workflows and applications can bring your business operations to a standstill. Even small misconfigurations, accidental deletions, or malicious modifications in Okta can cause widespread outages—locking out users or breaking integrations. These can be costly for your organization as misconfigured IAM policies can cost organizations up to $1.5 million annually — from fines, unauthorized access, and productivity loss.
Okta, just as other SaaS providers, operates under a shared responsibility model, and does not currently provide a built-in backup and restore capability for your configuration. This means customers are responsible for creating and managing their own backup strategies. With no native backup capabilities available, independent backup through a provider like Keepit is the only way to be 100% certain your data is always recoverable.
Enhance your identity and access management resilience
Keepit is now backing up Okta – adding it to the multiple workloads covered alongside Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and other critical SaaS applications.
Keepit Backup and Recovery for Okta enhances your business resilience by enabling:
- Automated, immutable backups
- Restoration of compromised configurations
- Rollback of tampered policies.
The recovery of Okta objects through the Keepit platform is fast and minimizes disruption to your day-to-day operations.
As compliance requirements have become more stringent, the Keepit platform will ensure compliance with cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST CSF and ISO 27001. On top of this, regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA also require the ability to demonstrate governance over identity systems — the Keepit platform is a surefire way to comply through detailed restore logs, audit-proofing your operations.
Keepit is making your life easier – centralized backup for your most used SaaS applications
With the addition of Okta, Keepit is making the life of IT teams easier by centralizing backup and recovery activities for the most common applications for identity and access management (Microsoft Entra ID and Okta), and productivity (Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace). This means companies can benefit from
- A streamlined workflow
