HealthInsight provides the following security tasks to improve security for an org.
| Security Task | Why is this recommended? | Security Impact | End-User Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limit the number of super admin roles | To ensure that org admins are not assigned more permissions than necessary. Most orgs require only a few super admins. | Critical | None |
| Enable Okta ThreatInsight to block suspicious IP addresses | To detect suspicious IP addresses from credential-based attacks. | Critical | Low |
| Disable weaker MFA factors in factor enrollment policies | To improve resistance to phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks. | High | High |
| Enable Okta Verify (with Push if available) for MFA | To provide end users with a strong and secure factor to sign in to their org. | High | High |
| Enforce a limited session lifetime for all policies | To reduce the risk of malicious third party access to an end user’s applications (when an end-user session is active). | High | Moderate |
| Enable Suspicious Activity Reporting | To give end users the option to report unrecognized activity from an account activity email. | High | Low |
| Enable new sign-on email notifications | To inform end users by email of any unrecognized activity from a new or unknown device or browser. | High | Low |
| Enable factor enrollment notifications | To inform end users by email of new MFA enrollment activity on their account. | High | Low |
| Enable factor reset notifications | To inform end users by email that MFA factors for their account have been reset. | High | Low |
| Password changed notification for end users | To inform end users by email that the password for their account has changed. | High | Low |
| Use SAML or OIDC authentication for app access | To leverage SAML and OIDC authentication protocols, which reduce reliance on password-based authentication. | High | None |
| Blocklist Network Zones to deny access to your Okta tenant | To deny access from known suspicious IP addresses or locations from your Okta tenant. | Moderate | Low |
| Enable strong password policy settings | To enforce strict password policies that define settings for password lockout, history, minimum age, and minimum length. | Low | Moderate |
| Set a required factor for MFA enrollment policies | To ensure that end users assigned to a given policy are enrolled in multifactor authentication. | Low | High |
| MFA requirements | Ensure that the MFA requirements are not in conflict with Behavior Detection and that the MFA policy rule is not bypassed unintentionally. | Moderate | None |
