Continue Reading– Thursday’s disclosure comes two weeks after Okta revealed that hackers compromised its customer support system and obtained credentials that allowed them to take control of customers’ internal Okta administration accounts. The attackers then used those credentials in follow-on hacks that targeted the internal administration accounts of 1Password, BeyondTrust, Cloudflare, and possibly other customers.
Continue Reading– SecureAuth, an access management and authentication specialist, has announced its expanded technology partnership with BeyondTrust, an intelligent identity and access security company. This strategic alliance takes the form of a deeper integration with Arculix, SecureAuth’s passwordless authentication solution, with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access for SAML, Linux and Unix and BeyondTrust Password Safe.
Continue Reading– The October 2023 OKTA support system attack that so far has publicly involved Cloudflare, 1Password and BeyondTrust informs us just how fragile and vulnerable our cloud applications are because they are built using access tokens to authenticate counterparties.
Continue Reading– This exposure impacted customers of Okta, including BeyondTrust, Cloudflare, the 1Password password manager, and possibly many more.

Continue Reading– In the modern threat landscape, identity and privilege are at the forefront of cyberattacks. Organizations increasingly recognize they need more robust security measures, including identity-based security practices, to mitigate threats and safeguard their data and operations, says BeyondTrust Chief Security Officer Morey Haber.
Continue Reading– "BeyondTrust Intelligent Identity & Access Security solutions integrate with Arculix by SecureAuth, their next-gen passwordless continuous authentication with the recent technical validation for our three privilege management access product lines to ensure only authorized users can access privileged accounts - while enhancing the authentication experience for the account owners," said David Manks, Vice President of Worldwide Alliances of BeyondTrust. "This integration offers enterprises the ability to reinforce security while providing a frictionless user experience."
Continue Reading– Beyond Trust cautioned that the increasing role of AI in technology development, changes in communication technology, and new threats and attack vectors must be managed as risk factors, said Morey Haber, BeyondTrust chief security officer.
Continue Reading– Identity management service Okta announced a breach of their support case management system. Notably, other companies, BeyondTrust, Cloudflare, and 1Password, identified the breach before Okta publicly announced it. While Okta has reportedly reached out to affected customers, you may want to consider contacting them if you use Okta.
Continue Reading– “I was very worried if they weren’t coming and telling us that there’s an issue that maybe there’s something going on that they don’t know about,” BeyondTrust CTO Marc Maiffret said. “Until they confirmed, I felt a little bit like a crazy person just trying to get some root cause understanding.”

Continue Reading– 1Password also affected by Okta Support System breach Following in the footsteps of BeyondTrust and CloudFlare, 1Password has revealed that it has been affected by the Okta Support System breach.
Continue Reading– In a few minutes David Shipley of Beauceron Security will be here to discuss recent news. That includes the admission by identity management provider Okta that a hacker compromised its customer support system and then saw customer technical files that included credentials. 1Passord, Cloudflare and BeyondTrust said their systems were attacked as a result of this compromise.
Continue Reading– Both BeyondTrust and Cloudflare criticized Okta for its slow response to the incident, with BeyondTrust stating that they notified Okta of the breach on October 2, and that it took Okta sixteen days to resolve the breach.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust published a blog Friday revealing that it first alerted Okta of a potential breach after detecting initial threat activity in the BeyondTrust network on Oct. 2. Cloudflare, meanwhile, published a somewhat critical blog post titled, "How Cloudflare mitigated yet another Okta compromise." The security vendor said it discovered and mitigated an attack on its systems on Oct. 18, "more than 24 hours before we were notified of the breach by Okta."
Continue Reading– Affected customers include 1Password and BeyondTrust, both of whom caught the attacks earlier… but there are very possibly others. Microsoft’s Merrill Fernando posted a good explanation of the issues surrounding token theft from HAR files, and he gives some practical advice on how to minimize the risk that this attack will be used against you. It is well worth reading.
Continue Reading– Leaders from DHS, CISA, USPS, SailPoint, BeyondTrust and Ping Identity explore ideals behind Identity Credentials and Access Management (ICAM).
Continue Reading– While those attacks directly targeted Okta customers for the initial point of intrusion, a more recent string of attacks against Okta customer environments occurred when a threat actor used a stolen Okta support system administrator credential to access authentication tokens for customers, including BeyondTrust, Cloudflare and 1Password.
Continue Reading– There is, however, no proven link to suggest it had anything to do with still-developing series of attacks on other cyber security firms that were customers of Okta – these attacks on 1Password, BeyondTrust and Cloudflare has not been attributed to any specific threat actor at the time of writing.
Continue Reading– In general, Okta recommends sanitizing all credentials and cookies/session tokens within an HAR file before sharing it. In a separate alert, security firm BeyondTrust said it was a target of a cyberattack linked to this Okta support system breach.
Continue Reading– Security company BeyondTrust had also been affected by the cyberattack on Okta. A hacker had tried to use authentication cookies to access the company's Okta account. BeyondTrust's account policies prevented the attack. Now, 1Password has been the second known Okta customer to be affected, along with BeyondTrust.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust has announced the appointment of Chris Puleston to lead its Public Sector business in Australia. Based in Canberra, Chris will be responsible for accelerating business growth among Federal and State public sector agencies while supporting their capacity to proactively protect their identities and safeguard critical assets in today’s evolving threat landscape.
Continue Reading– Okta Security identified adversarial activity that leveraged access to a stolen credential to access Okta’s support case management system. Okta was first notified on October 2, 2023 by BeyondTrust, but the attacker still had access to their support systems at least until October 18, 2023
Continue Reading– The first set of defenses should include strong hardware authentication for privileged accounts and operate from a trusted system. In the cases documented by BeyondTrust and Cloudflare, they used FIDO2 hardware tokens that allowed security teams to rule out any potential compromise of credentials.
Continue Reading– “It is important that Okta customers improve their security policies by leveraging certain settings, for example, by prompting users with administrative privileges to authenticate with MFA at every login,” said l BeyondTrust security team in a newsletter. “Even if the attacker has hijacked an existing session, Okta still considers accessing the dashboard a new logon and requests permission to open an MFA session.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust revealed that it initially detected and reported the breach to Okta on October 2, although its CTO Marc Maiffret stressed that it took time to convince Okta that it was behind the breach. Cloudflare also released a statement on Friday confirming that it detected an Okta-related attack on October 18.
Continue Reading– We do not yet know if the staff in question uses multi-factor identification, which would be the least possible given the type of data processed. BeyondTrust, a security company, said it notified Okta at the first sign of suspicious activity, only receiving a response two weeks later.
Continue Reading– Moreover, as of October 2, 2023, the BeyondTrust team detected and blocked an attempt to log in to an Okta Administrator account using a session cookie stolen from Okta's Help Desk solution. It was from that moment that Okta began to carry out investigations... before making this security incident official on October 19, 2023.
Continue Reading– According to Arstechnica, the initial hack was stopped by security firm BeyondTrust, which alerted Okta to suspicious activity about a month ago. However, due to some flaws in Okta's security model, some actions were still carried out by malicious actors.
Continue Reading– The first set of defenses should include strong hardware authentication for privileged accounts and operate from a trusted system. In the cases documented by BeyondTrust and Cloudflare, they used FIDO2 hardware tokens that allowed security teams to rule out any potential compromise of credentials.
Continue Reading– The incident began when BeyondTrust security teams detected an attacker attempting to access an internal Okta administrator account using a valid session cookie stolen from Okta's support system. Custom policy controls blocked the attacker's initial activity. However, the limitations of Okta's security model allowed it to perform some actions. BeyondTrust's Identity Security Insights tool alerted teams, who were able to block all access and verify that this attacker did not have access to any systems.
Continue Reading– So on October 2, BeyondTrust raised concerns about a breach with Okta. It was not until October 19 that Okta security officials confirmed that they had suffered a breach and that BeyondTrust was one of the affected customers. However, BeyondTrust did not wait to ensure that it protected its customers who were not in fact exposed.
Continue Reading– To make matters worse, BeyondTrust, one of Okta's customers, claims to have detected and blocked an attempt to log in to an internal Okta administrator account on October 2 using a stolen cookie. The privileged access specialist immediately informed Okta that its support organization was compromised, but it took the vendor more than two weeks to confirm the breach.
Continue Reading– Cybersecurity experts at BeyondTrust were the first to spot the problem after one of its customers reported strange behavior on their network, following brief communication with Okta.
Continue Reading– Identity service provider Okta reports another attack on its databases. Hackers are said to have gained access to sensitive customer data via the support department. This is not the first incident. In 2022, the Californian company recorded a data theft, after hackers hacked a tool of their customer support. This August, the service provider reported social engineering attacks on its IT service desk employees. Okta customer BeyondTrust had already alerted the service provider to the cyberattack on October 2.

This August, the service provider reported social engineering attacks on its IT service desk employees. Okta customer BeyondTrust had already alerted the service provider to the cyberattack on October 2.
Continue Reading– Identity security company BeyondTrust’s blog post says that on October 2, it detected an unauthorized attempt to access a high-privilege Okta account using a stolen session cookie from a recently uploaded HAR file.
Continue Reading– The first news of Okta’s latest breach was provided not by Okta, but by BeyondTrust, a separate IAM security vendor.
Continue Reading– Security firm BeyondTrust on Oct. 19 flagged that it was affected by the broader Okta breach, making 1Password the second known company to have been impacted. BeyondTrust had notably warned Okta some two weeks ahead of its disclosure, Krebs on Security reported Friday.
Continue Reading– Morey Haber, Chief Security Officer at BeyondTrust, explains the importance of having clear visibility into infrastructure and risk, considering the fact that as a security company themselves, they are a prime target for threat actors.
Continue Reading– According to BeyondTrust's assessment, the hack occurred as early as October 2. The threat actors managed to breach Okta systems and obtain clients' information through stolen credentials. Okta confirmed the incident last week stating that there was a compromise on sensitive customer data.
Continue Reading– Once again, hackers managed to gain access to Okta's customer service system using stolen credentials. This allowed them to access sensitive data uploaded by Okta customers. Back in early October, a hacker at Okta customer BeyondTrust attempted to access an internal Okta administrator account using a valid session cookie copied from Okta's support system. The hacker was only able to perform a limited number of actions.
Continue Reading– Once again, hackers managed to gain access to Okta's customer service system using stolen credentials. This allowed them to access sensitive data uploaded by Okta customers. Back in early October, a hacker at Okta customer BeyondTrust attempted to access an internal Okta administrator account using a valid session cookie copied from Okta's support system. The hacker was only able to perform a limited number of actions.
Continue Reading– "The current wave of cyberattacks is largely based on the misuse of privileged access rights and identities which threat actors use to compromise business IT systems or steal sensitive information," said Mohamed Ibbich, Director of Solutions Engineering at BeyondTrust.
Continue Reading– 1Password, BeyondTrust, and Cloudflare all said that they were able to detect and block the intrusions before any of their own customers were affected, but they all highlighted the fact that they had notified Okta about the situation before Okta warned them—in some cases weeks before Okta's public disclosure.
Continue Reading– Concern at IAM vendor Okta's response mounts as BeyondTrust details concerns, Cloudflare calls for customers to press harder on "further information regarding potential impact to your organization"
Continue Reading– “On October 2nd, 2023, the BeyondTrust security teams detected an identity-centric attack on an in-house Okta administrator account. We immediately detected and remediated the attack through our own Identity Security tools, resulting in no impact or exposure to BeyondTrust’s infrastructure or to our customers. The incident was the result of Okta’s support system being compromised which allowed an attacker to access sensitive files uploaded by their customers,” BeyondTrust wrote.
Continue Reading– “We raised our concerns of a breach to Okta on October 2nd,” BeyondTrust blogged. “Having received no acknowledgement from Okta of a possible breach, we persisted with escalations within Okta until October 19th when Okta security leadership notified us that they had indeed experienced a breach and we were one of their affected customers.”
Continue Reading– First, BeyondTrust revealed that it initially detected and reported the breach to Okta on Oct. 2, though its CTO Marc Maiffret emphasized that it took time to convince Okta it was the source. Cloudflare also issued a disclosure on Friday that confirmed that it detected an Okta-related attack on Oct. 18.
Continue Reading– “We then detected and remediated the attack through our own identity security tools, which resulted in no impact or exposure to our infrastructure or to any customers,” said the BeyondTrust researchers.
Continue Reading– 1Password, Okta Suffer Cyberattacks: The spillover from a cyberattack against Okta’s support system is growing as more victims come forward. 1Password on October 23 said it was also impacted by the Okta support system breach, which led to an intrusion of its Okta environment, making it the third security-oriented victim to come forward after BeyondTrust and Cloudflare.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust alerted Okta to the suspicious activity after discovering an attacker using a valid authentication cookie attempting to access one of its in-house Okta administrator accounts earlier in October.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust, in particular, has been outspoken in its criticism, lamenting a slow response to the problem from Okta and claiming the supplier had been reluctant to take responsibility.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust reported the compromise to Okta which didn’t acknowledge the breach for over two weeks. The long and inexcusable delay was made public by BeyondTrust, and ended up in the news.
Continue Reading– In this byline opinion article, Scott Hesford discusses that given the focus of the CPS 234 guidance, PAM can assist organisations to gain significant coverage across the information security items targeted for uplift. In many cases, PAM can provide specific controls, while in others, it can work hand-in-hand with other technology to provide the desired outcome.
Continue Reading– As revealed now, 1Password has been affected by a recent cyberattack on the identity service provider Okta. Recently, cybercriminals managed to steal Okta's access tokens. It's not yet clear which other customers are affected: The service provider said it was a very small proportion of its more than 18,000 customers. However, the U.S. company BeyondTrust had reported a corresponding attack earlier this month.
Continue Reading– Identity service provider Okta reports another attack on its databases. Hackers are said to have gained access to sensitive customer data via the support department. This is not the first incident. In 2022, the Californian company recorded a data theft, after hackers hacked a tool of their customer support. This August, the service provider reported social engineering attacks on its IT service desk employees. Okta customer BeyondTrust had already alerted the service provider to the cyberattack on October 2.
Continue Reading– "We raised our concerns of a breach to Okta on October 2nd," BeyondTrust said in its disclosure.
Continue Reading– The company told The Hacker News that the event impacted about 1 percent of its customer base. Some of the other customers who have been affected by the incident include BeyondTrust and Cloudflare.
Continue Reading– In a separate statement, privately held identity management firm BeyondTrust revealed that its security teams detected an identity-centric attack on an in-house Okta administrator account on October 2, 2023.
Continue Reading– Cybersecurity experts from BeyondTrust were the first to spot the issue after one of its customers reported strange behavior on its network, following a short communication with Okta.
Continue Reading– Security company BeyondTrust said it was also affected by Okta’s breach, but that it also quickly shut down its intrusion. In a blog post, BeyondTrust said it notified Okta of the incident on October 2, but accused Okta of not acknowledging the breach for almost three weeks
Continue Reading– More notably, the disclosures confirmed that Okta did not initially detect the breach. In a blog post Friday, BeyondTrust said it first detected threat activity earlier this month and alerted Okta, though it was met with a slow response. BeyondTrust added that it detected and remediated the attack with no effect on customers.
Continue Reading– Both 1Password and Cloudflare also detected the breach before Okta notified them about a potential intrusion — which isn’t a great look for the single sign-on provider. Cloudflare is also implying Okta failed to take initial reports about the breach seriously. The company’s blog post urges Okta to “take any report of compromise seriously and act immediately to limit damage,” noting that a separate security vendor, BeyondTrust, had notified the company about the breach as early as Oct. 2.
Continue Reading– If the 1Password incident is a consequence of the same Okta breach, this puts the Okta breach which was discovered by BeyondTrust on October 2, 2023 in a new light as regards to the timeline. BeyondTrust says it had to persist with escalations within Okta until October 19, when Okta security leadership notified BeyondTrust that it had indeed experienced a breach and that BeyondTrust were one of the affected customers.
Continue Reading– The breach was initially detected by security firm BeyondTrust, which observed suspicious activity on its in-house Okta administrator account. BeyondTrust alerted Okta but claimed they received no response for over two weeks. Okta has faced multiple security incidents in the past, including breaches in March and December 2022.
Continue Reading– “On October 2nd, 2023, the BeyondTrust security teams detected an identity-centric attack on an in-house Okta administrator account,” said Marc Maiffret, CTO at BeyondTrust.
Continue Reading– Security vendor BeyondTrust encountered the issue when it found an attacker attempting to use a stolen session cookie to breach an admin account. BeyondTrust fixed the issue on its own and claimed it contacted Okta on October 2, but said that it didn’t receive acknowledgement of a breach until October 19, when Okta confirmed BeyondTrust was an affected customer.
Continue Reading– "While there was no exposure to BeyondTrust or our customers, we are sharing details of the attack to educate other Okta users and infosec professionals," Maiffret said in a blog post.
Continue Reading– The password manager, which has more than 100,000 business customers, detected suspicious activity on its Okta instance on Sept. 29. BeyondTrust discovered a similar intrusion on its Okta environment and alerted Okta to the breach on Oct. 2.
Continue Reading– In a statement provided to CRN, Husnain Bajwa, vice president of product strategy at Beyond Identity, said that Okta “took nearly three weeks to acknowledge and remediate the situation despite immediate notifications from two respected and security-conscious customers.” That decision “reflects a troubling pattern of concerning lapses in Okta’s commitment to safeguarding its users,” Bajwa said in the statement.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust said it detected an identity-centric attack on an in-house Okta admin account on 2 October 2023, which used a valid session cookie stolen from Okta. It said that its own systems were able to cut the attacker off before there was any impact, but added that its supplier’s response had not been on the ball.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust, another identity management company, said in a post Friday that it first alerted Okta to suspicious activity targeting an Okta administrator on Oct. 2.
Continue Reading– Identity and access protection company BeyondTrust is one of the affected customers. In early October 2023, the security team noticed and reported an attack attempt using a valid session cookie copied from Okta's support system and targeting an internal Okta administrator account. According to the report, while the attacker's activities were initially blocked by internal policies, limitations in Okta's security model allowed him to take limited actions.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust’s policy in the Okta environment was to only allow access to the Okta admin console from managed devices on which had been installed Okta Verify, a multifactor authentication application developed by Okta. Because of this policy, the attacker was prompted for MFA authentication when they tried to access the admin console, even though the token they stole provided them with a valid session.
Continue Reading– The reference was to a post Friday in which cybersecurity vendor BeyondTrust said it discovered the breach, was among the impacted customers and notified Okta on Oct. 2 about the incident. However, Okta did not acknowledge the breach for more than two weeks, according to BeyondTrust.
Continue Reading– Okta first learned of the breach from BeyondTrust, who shared forensics data with Okta, showing that their support organization was compromised. However, it took Okta over two weeks to confirm the breach.
Continue Reading– Security firm BeyondTrust said it discovered the intrusion after an attacker used valid authentication cookies in an attempt to access its Okta account. The attacker could perform “a few confined actions,” but ultimately, BeyondTrust access policy controls stopped the activity and blocked all access to the account. 1Password now becomes the second known Okta customer to be targeted in a follow-on attack.
Continue Reading– Criminals got hold of access tokens from Oktas Support unit. The U.S. company recently warned of social engineering attacks on service personnel.
Continue Reading– Okta’s shares fell 11.5% after they reported that someone got into their support system using stolen credentials and accessed client files that included valid Okta session tokens. Customer BeyondTrust said they saw the attack happen on October 2nd when someone tried to use a token to create a super-admin account.
Continue Reading– As per BeyondTrust’s CTO Mark Maiffret, the attacker used a session token from the uploaded browser recording session and created a new admin account. The attack “was the result of Okta’s support system being compromised which allowed an attacker to access sensitive files uploaded by their customers.”
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust assessed the hack to have occurred as early as October 2, 2023. “The initial incident response indicated a possible compromise at Okta of either someone on their support team or someone in position to access customer support-related data,” BeyondTrust noted.
Continue Reading– According to Arstechnica, the initial hack was stopped by security firm BeyondTrust, which alerted Okta to suspicious activity about a month ago. However, due to some flaws within Okta's security model, some actions were still carried out by malicious actors.
Continue Reading– “We are most concerned with the fact that Okta was unaware of the breach and did not have the internal capabilities to detect this behavior,” Nowinski wrote. “They were notified of the potential breach by a customer (Beyond Trust) and still took approximately two weeks to make a public disclosure.”
Continue Reading– Identity management firm BeyondTrust has stated that it experienced an identity-centric attack on October 2, which arose from an in-house Okta administrator account. It notified Okta immediately following the breach, and subsequently engaged in dialog with Okta to provide evidence that Okta had been compromised.
Continue Reading– “Having received no acknowledgement from Okta of a possible breach, we persisted with escalations within Okta until October 19 when Okta security leadership notified us that they had indeed experienced a breach and we were one of their affected customers,” explained BeyondTrust CTO, Marc Maiffret.
Continue Reading– "Modern identity-based attacks can be complex, and as this attack shows, can originate from environments outside your own," BeyondTrust Chief Technology Officer Marc Maiffret wrote in a blog post Friday. "Defense in depth is important though. The failure of a single control or process should not result in a breach."
Continue Reading– “BeyondTrust’s custom policies around admin console access initially blocked them, but they pivoted to using admin API actions authenticated with the stolen session cookie,” according to BeyondTrust. “API actions cannot be protected by policies in the same way as actual admin console access. Using the API, they created a backdoor user account using a naming convention like existing service accounts.”
Continue Reading– The gap between BeyondTrust’s discovery of an attacker trying to access an in-house Okta administrator account and Okta’s confirmation and disclosure suggests the threat actor had access to Okta’s support system for more than two weeks.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust, which alerted Okta to the suspicious activity, discovered an attacker using a valid authentication cookie attempting to access one of its in-house Okta administrator accounts earlier in October.
Continue Reading– In a separate post Friday, privately held identity management firm BeyondTrust, said that it had told Okta's security teams about suspicious activity in BeyondTrust's own Okta systems on October 2. Okta didn't initially acknowledge the incident as a breach after BeyondTrust alerted the company, despite what BeyondTrust described as concerns that "there was a high likelihood of compromise within Okta support and that we were likely not the only customer impacted."
Continue Reading– Okta has of course taken measures to protect its customers, including the revocation of embedded session tokens. In general, Okta recommends sanitizing all credentials and cookies/session tokens within an HAR file before sharing it. In a separate alert, security firm BeyondTrust said it was a target of a cyberattack linked to this Okta support system breach.
Continue Reading– Okta executives have spent several days now trying to get a handle on a breach detected October 2 by a corporate customer. That customer, Beyond Trust, informed Okta after Beyond Trust staff traced it back to Okta.
Continue Reading– One of the Okta customers notified, BeyondTrust, told KrebsOnSecurity that they had notified Okta about activity likely related to the support breach on October 2, when they noticed someone trying to use an Okta account belonging to a BeyondTrust employee to create a new admin account in the Okta environment.
Continue Reading– Where the story gets interesting is that one of the affected customers, BeyondTrust Corp., has come forward and disclosed its experience, and it’s not a good look for Okta. The company said that it had detected an identity-centric attack on an in-house Okta administrator account on Oct. 2, but after alerting Okta the same day and then following up, it had no response for over a week.
Continue Reading– "BeyondTrust immediately detected and remediated the attack through its own identity tools, Identity Security Insights, resulting in no impact or exposure to BeyondTrust's infrastructure or to its customers," a spokesperson for the company told The Hacker News.
Continue Reading– Take any report of compromise seriously and act immediately to limit damage; in this case Okta was first notified on October 2, 2023 by BeyondTrust but the attacker still had access to their support systems at least until October 18, 2023.
Continue Reading– David Bradbury, Okta’s chief security officer, disclosed the breach in a blog. BeyondTrust says it discovered the attack early this month. It said the incident was the result of Okta’s support system being compromised, which allowed an attacker to access sensitive files uploaded by its customers.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust security teams on Oct. 2 saw an attacker trying to access an in-house Okta administrator account using a valid session cookie stolen from Okta's support system, according to Maiffret. The initial incident response indicated a possible compromise at Okta - by either someone on the support team or someone in a position to access customer support-related data. That prompted BeyondTrustto contact Okta.
Continue Reading– Security firm BeyondTrust said it alerted Okta to suspicious activity earlier this month after detecting an attacker using a valid authentication cookie trying to access one of BeyondTrust’s in-house Okta administrator accounts.
Continue Reading– A spokesperson for the security company BeyondTrust contacted Recorded Future News to say they discovered the attack on October 2 when they detected an incident involving an in-house Okta administrator account.
Continue Reading– Security firm BeyondTrust, which uses Okta, said in its own blog post that it notified Okta of a potential breach on October 2 after it detected an attempted compromise to its network a short time after an administrator shared a browser recording session with an Okta support agent.
Continue Reading– Security firm BeyondTrust was among those that received the alert. BeyondTrust Chief Technology Officer Marc Maiffret said the alert came more than two weeks after his company alerted Okta to a potential problem. Maiffret said none of its customers were affected, according to KrebsonSecurity, which first reported the news.
Continue Reading– “The incident began when BeyondTrust security teams detected an attacker trying to access an in-house Okta administrator account using a valid session cookie stolen from Okta’s support system. Custom policy controls blocked the attacker’s initial activity, but limitations in Okta’s security model allowed them to perform a few confined actions,” BeyondTrust said.
Continue Reading– Okta declined to provide more details. But according to security journalist Brian Krebs, the company appears to have uncovered the breach when a customer, security vendor BeyondTrust, noticed unusual activity on its network. An Okta account belonging to a BeyondTrust engineer tried to create a powerful admin account.
Continue Reading– Maiffret emphasized that BeyondTrust caught the attack earlier this month as it was happening, and that none of its own customers were affected. He said that on Oct 2., BeyondTrust’s security team detected that someone was trying to use an Okta account assigned to one of their engineers to create an all-powerful administrator account within their Okta environment.
Continue Reading– The company said in a post that it informed Okta about the incident on Oct. 2, but “having received no acknowledgement from Okta of a possible breach, we persisted with escalations within Okta.” Then on Oct. 19, “Okta security leadership notified us that they had indeed experienced a breach and we were one of their affected customers,” BeyondTrust said.
Continue Reading– A customer, cybersecurity vendor BeyondTrust, said that it ‘raised our concerns of a breach to Okta’ in early October, but the breach was only acknowledged by Okta on Friday.

He said he was “extra feisty” during a Oct. 11 call with Okta, saying he pushed it to look into the claims.
Continue Reading– BeyondTrust says the attack was thwarted by "custom policy controls," but due to "limitations in Okta's security model," the malicious actor was able to perform "a few confined actions."

Continue Reading– “PAM must offer the means to automate discovery of privileged accounts and other credential types across the environment. There must be no place for an identity to hide because if there is, you can be sure it will not escape the notice of a determined threat actor. Human and non-human accounts must be placed under suitable management so they can pass muster with auditors. Many attacker inroads are rendered impassable with this simple approach and many others are made difficult. And to be clear, when we say ‘suitable management’, what we mean is the enforcement of regular password changes and rules as to their strength.”

This is not just better cyber hygiene. It is enforcement of the core tenet of zero-trust – a least-privilege model.
Continue Reading– Yet different identity management policies and tools should be implemented according to the size of the organization. “As an employee joins the company, changes roles, or leaves the organization, the small business should ensure their accounts are created, modified, and deleted in a timely fashion in addition to any rights, permissions, and privileges that might be assigned. For a large organization, this simple process and security best practices can be incredibly labor intensive and prone to error. This is where Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions come into play, and Identity Security solutions identify the risks and threats that arise from employee activity and potential misconfigurations,” Haber said.

Continue Reading– “To replace siloed tools, we turn to something that is really more of a methodology than a product. We call it identity-threat detection and response (ITDR). We combine security tools and processes to allow us to zero in on suspicious in-session activity and respond to attacks as they happen. ITDR is able to do this through a deeper understanding of permissions, configurations, and the relationships between accounts. And this deeper understanding comes from uniting best-in-class solutions already available in the market.”

However, the challenges in aligning with the Essential Eight include application control (63 percent), user application hardening (51 percent), patching (49%), and restricting admin privileges (44 percent).
Continue Reading– “Adoption of ITDR should be undertaken carefully. Because it is more a practice than a product, integration plays a significant role in implementation. Investments can easily be squandered if stakeholders do not pay due attention to the fundamentals. Before any detection or response can take place, organizations must claim back visibility and control of the hardware and software that comprise their identity infrastructure. This visibility and control must also apply to accounts themselves. Security personnel must be able to see at a glance all current access so they can sift out overprivileged accounts.”

Many of these privileged accounts are proliferating unseen, unmonitored, and unmanaged, presenting dangerous backdoors to the environment for threat actors. Therefore, asset management for identities and their associated accounts is a critical starting point for getting on top of this risk.”
Continue Reading– “By definition, an Insider Threat is an internal personal behaving as a threat actor.

Continue Reading– “There are four main reasons for wanting secrets management packaged with PASM. The first involves discovery and onboarding. If the two functions are part of one platform, visibility gaps are eliminated when trying to bring all the keys to the kingdom together. The second reason for unification is consistency when enforcing security policies. Separate platforms might see one rule for credentials normally managed by IT and another for those managed by security. Oversight of all privileged credentials should occur in a single pane, no matter who the designated overseer may be.”
Continue Reading– “Since Covid, we truly have a work-from-anywhere world, and the cloud is ideal for situations when passwords need to be available outside of the organization, across multiple geographical locations, and when on-premise technology is incapable or cost-prohibitive for meeting business objectives and minimizing risk. On Password Management Day, consider the risks of remembering, sharing, documenting, and reusing passwords. Security best practices today have better methods, including password services in the cloud, to minimize the need to remember passwords.

These insecure methods for sharing passwords have caused the press to report front page news articles on data breaches and compelled organizations to educate employees on the insecure methods for password storage and sharing. A better method to document passwords is needed that is highly secure, documents distributed access, and promotes sharing and collaboration with minimal risk—no matter where the access occurs.”
