Okta, Palo Alto Networks team up to strengthen AI-driven security

Okta and Palo Alto Networks have announced an expanded partnership unify security architecture and streamline threat response

Gartner predicts 40% of AI data breaches will arise from cross-border GenAI misuse by 2027

As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, identity has emerged as a critical line of defence. Okta and Palo Alto Networks have announced an expanded partnership, introducing two new native integrations aimed at unifying security architecture and streamlining threat response. The collaboration is designed to help organisations secure access across any device, automate identity threat detection, and reduce the operational complexity of managing disparate tools.

The first integration combines Okta Workforce Identity with Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access Browser, enabling conditional access policies that restrict single sign-on (SSO) application access exclusively through a secure browser. This allows employees to safely connect to web-based applications and corporate data from both managed and unmanaged devices, while providing security teams with greater visibility and control.

The second integration links Okta’s Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI to Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XDR, offering organisations a real-time, unified view of identity-related risks. The integration enables dynamic, risk-based authentication and automates immediate responses to threats, including revoking access, ending sessions, and quarantining compromised endpoints.

“AI is supercharging attacks on user credentials, requiring a ‘fight AI with AI’ approach that brings identity directly into an organisation’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.”

Pamela Cyr, VP of Technical Partnerships at Palo Alto Networks, said, “Identity plays a critical role in cybersecurity. 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 organisations with comprehensive, AI-driven defence.”

According to the companies, these integrations provide joint customers with a simplified and cost-effective path to strengthening their identity security posture—an increasingly vital need as the cloud, remote work, and AI adoption reshape the threat landscape.

Maxine Holt, Vice President, Enterprise & Channel Research at Omdia, said, “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, organisations are being challenged by added complexity and gaps in security tools. By unifying their offerings, Okta and Palo Alto Networks are helping customers streamline operations, reduce complexity, and improve coverage of the attack surface.”

With these new capabilities, the partnership aims to set a new benchmark for how identity and security platforms can work in concert—turning identity into an active defence layer rather than just a gateway.
