Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Nudge Security's Okta security solution
Does Nudge Security overlap with Okta's ISPM product?
There's some overlap in posture monitoring, but Nudge Security goes beyond Okta's native ISPM by covering your full SaaS and AI estate, not just apps connected to Okta. The two can run alongside each other without conflict.
What security gaps does Okta leave unaddressed?
Okta governs the apps it knows about. Apps your employees adopted outside the SSO rollout, through direct sign-up, OAuth, or browser extensions, sit outside Okta's visibility entirely. Okta also doesn't provide continuous posture monitoring of its own configuration, so configuration drift and risky policies can accumulate over time without a signal.
How does Nudge Security help drive Okta SSO enrollment?
Nudge Security identifies apps outside Okta coverage and automates enrollment workflows, sending targeted outreach to employees and app owners to bring those apps under SSO. You can track enrollment progress across your full SaaS inventory.
How does Nudge Security complement Okta?
Nudge Security extends Okta's visibility to your full SaaS estate, surfacing apps and identities that exist outside SSO coverage. It also monitors your Okta configuration continuously, catching misconfigurations, inactive privileged accounts, weak MFA settings, and configuration drift before they create exposure.
What Okta misconfigurations can Nudge Security detect?
Nudge Security flags inactive privileged accounts, SSO exceptions, MFA bypass configurations, risky OAuth integrations and API tokens, and other identity risks mapped against Okta security best practices.
Can Nudge Security discover SaaS apps not enrolled in Okta?
Yes. That's one of its core functions. Nudge Security discovers every SaaS app in use across your organization, whether it's enrolled in Okta or not, giving you full visibility into what's outside your identity provider.
