Track failed login attempts across all company systems, trigger multi-factor authentication for suspicious activity, and automatically lock compromised accounts before data breaches occur.

Workflow Steps

1

Okta

Monitor authentication events

Configure Okta's System Log to track all login attempts, failed authentications, and suspicious activities like logins from new devices or unusual locations across all connected applications.

2

Zapier

Filter high-risk login events

Set up Zapier to receive Okta webhooks and filter for high-risk events: multiple failed attempts, logins from blacklisted countries, or new device registrations outside business hours.

3

Okta

Trigger additional MFA challenge

When suspicious activity is detected, use Okta's API to immediately require additional authentication factors for that user account, forcing stronger verification before access is granted.

4

PagerDuty

Alert security operations team

Configure PagerDuty to immediately notify on-call security staff when high-risk authentication events occur, providing context about the threat level and user affected for rapid response.

5

Okta

Auto-suspend compromised accounts

If multiple verification attempts fail or if the security team doesn't respond within 15 minutes, automatically suspend the user account in Okta to prevent unauthorized access to company resources.
