Okta announced Context Re-evaluation for Okta FastPass, which silently rechecks device security posture each time the user opens a new application. This provides added assurance that the device state hasn't changed in the interim. For example, if the local firewall is disabled or endpoint security posture declines, the user may be prompted to reauthenticate. (View Highlight)

Okta also revealed a new offering called Identity Threat Protection that leverages machine learning to detect anomalous activity that may indicate a compromised account. It integrates signals from security tools to analyze risk throughout a user's session, not just at login. Identity Threat Protection can then take automated actions like terminating sessions across all of a user's devices to contain the threat. (View Highlight)

Okta Secure Partner Access also extends Okta's phishing-resistant multifactor authentication to these external identities. This ensures consistent security for both internal and external users across an organization's ecosystem. (View Highlight)
