Observability

Discover risk detection events in your org:

The post auth session evaluation policy monitors your org by default and logs events in the System Log. You can also configure entity risk policy rules to not take any action for risk detections.

Remediate risk

Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI can take remediation actions like ending user sessions (specific or all app sessions configured for Universal Logout) or running a delegated flow. Define how Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI responds to risk detections in your org:

  • Configure an entity risk policy to take remediation actions automatically based on user-related risk detections and risk level changes. Learn more.
  • Configure a post auth session evaluation policy to take remediation actions automatically based on changes to the session context. Learn more.
  • Take remediation actions manually. Learn more.
