A new collaboration between Rubrik and Okta introduces a powerful defense against ransomware by focusing on identity recovery. Rubrik Okta Recovery provides automated, immutable backups and granular restoration capabilities for Okta Identity Provider environments. This solution enables organizations to swiftly recover from disruptive incidents, extending Rubrik’s identity protection beyond Active Directory and Entra ID to become the only platform securing all three major identity providers.
Okta forms the backbone of modern enterprise IT, governing access to essential SaaS applications and internal systems. Although Okta delivers a secure and resilient platform, customers remain responsible for the data and configurations within their tenant. Rubrik adds a critical layer of operational resilience, guarding against accidental misconfigurations, human mistakes, or malicious alterations. Without such protection, IT teams often face the laborious task of manually rebuilding settings or developing complex custom workflows, processes that are both time-intensive and prone to error. Rubrik Okta Recovery offers a faster, more dependable method for maintaining continuous identity availability.
Hema Mohan, vice president of Product Management at Rubrik, highlighted the growing challenge: “As companies consolidate identity systems, many still operate in complex hybrid and multi-IdP setups that introduce visibility gaps in cyber resilience. By securing vital configurations and dependencies within Okta, we enable customers to defend identity and data, recover rapidly, and build enduring resilience through a straightforward yet robust solution.”
Key capabilities of Rubrik Okta Recovery include Automated and on-demand backup, delivering continuous, hands-free protection for essential Okta objects such as Users, Groups, and Applications.
The solution is anticipated to become available in the coming months.
