MIND, the pioneering platform for automated Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Insider Risk Management (IRM), has announced a technology integration with Okta, the leading independent identity provider. This collaboration combines data security and identity pillars to deliver dynamic, context-aware protection against insider threats, particularly in the AI era where sensitive data leaks pose escalating risks.
The MIND-Okta integration allows organizations to enforce data security policies in real time using Okta's identity signals. Security teams can customize actions based on user department, role, risk level, and location, ensuring precision at scale. This addresses cybersecurity's core challenges by evaluating user behavior alongside data sensitivity, preventing leaks during GenAI usage.
By analyzing context and activity, the solution offers proactive detection, automated policy enforcement, and remediation that aligns with actual business risks. Customers gain autonomous prevention of data exfiltration by insiders, reducing reliance on manual interventions. "We believe identity and data security are inseparable. Okta is the source of truth for who users are, and MIND is for what data matters most," said Eran Barak, Co-Founder and CEO at MIND. "Integrating our products brings those truths together in real-time, so security teams can more effectively protect their organizations' sensitive data, especially with the secure use of GenAI."
"This integration brings together two critical dimensions of security, identity and data, in a way that's practical and impactful for joint customers," said Stephen Lee, Vice President of Technical Strategy and Partnerships at Okta. "By combining Okta's identity insights with MIND's automated data protection, organizations can take a smarter, more adaptive approach to mitigating cybersecurity risk." Shared customer Guild has already implemented the integration, with Julie Chickillo, VP of Information Security at Guild, noting, "This is exactly what we needed. The moment I saw this Okta integration live in the MIND platform, I asked my team to set it up as soon as possible. This MIND and Okta integration worked like magic."
Key capabilities include dynamically adapting policies with identity risk indicators, enforcing AI-driven context-aware rules, and autonomously blocking risky actions. Okta Ventures' investment in MIND further solidifies this alignment, supporting joint innovation.
In a borderless enterprise landscape, where identity serves as the primary defense and data as the ultimate target, MIND and Okta provide clarity and automation for critical workflows. This partnership equips enterprises to secure approved and shadow GenAI applications, mitigating risks while enabling innovation. MIND will showcase the integration at Oktane25 in Las Vegas from September 24-25, offering live demonstrations at their kiosk in the Okta Hub.
MIND is on a mission to help organizations thrive in the AI era by protecting their most sensitive data, mitigating risks and preserving brand reputation. MIND is the first-ever data security platform that puts data loss prevention (DLP) and insider risk management (IRM) programs on autopilot to protect data at rest and in motion. We enable businesses to mind what matters—their most sensitive data. Founded and led by cybersecurity leaders and industry veterans, MIND is based in Seattle, WA.
