Unlocking flexibility and control with 8,000+ pre-built app integrations
One of the many things our MSP Partners love about using ZeroTek | Okta is the ease of integrating apps with Okta to give customers secure single sign-on (SSO) access to everything they need.
Okta’s commitment to being vendor-neutral and cloud-first is demonstrated clearly in the Okta Integration Network (OIN) catalog, which currently offers over 8,000 pre-built SSO app integrations, where Okta maintains both the SSO protocols and provisioning APIs.
The breadth of options in the OIN means MSPs can easily offer secure SSO access to virtually any app their different customers are using, no matter what industry.
It also gives MSPs unparalleled flexibility to standardize or customize services for their customers, managing diverse needs and access requirements easily from ZeroTek’s multi-tenant platform for Okta.
Most integrations take minutes
Most applications in the OIN support strong, modern SSO protocols like SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC). These protocols ensure that every login is protected by identity-first security through multifactor authentication (MFA), reducing or even eliminating reliance on passwords and their inherent vulnerabilities.
Even better: Okta app integrations typically take minutes, not hours—allowing MSPs to rapidly improve security without adding complexity for end users.
When to use SWA—and when to look for more
Okta also provides Secure Web Authentication (SWA) as a fallback option when apps don’t natively support SAML or OIDC. While SWA is a secure solution, it’s best used only when true SSO protocols aren’t available.
Here’s the good news. Many app vendors are continuously improving their platforms, and sometimes apps in the OIN listed as SWA-only have very recently added support for SAML or OIDC. That’s why MSPs should always take a moment to:
- Check the app vendor’s website for recent updates to supported SSO protocols.
- Leverage Okta’s documentation for integration guidance.
- Consult ZeroTek Support if you’re unsure about the best integration path.
By doing this, MSPs can ensure they’re leveraging the strongest available protocols and delivering top-tier security for their customers.
Boost efficiency and security with Okta Lifecycle Management
Beyond SSO, over 800 apps in the OIN also support Okta Lifecycle Management (LCM). This allows MSPs to automate user provisioning and deprovisioning which:
- Reduces administrative overhead and human error
- Ensures new hires have secure, easy access to everything they need on day one
- Makes it easy to adjust apps and access as staff roles and preferred tools change and evolve
- Tightens security by ensuring exiting staff can be shut out from everything in seconds
Conclusion: Okta makes secure integrations simple
Thanks to the OIN, MSPs can quickly deploy secure, scalable access to the apps their customers rely on—using industry-leading protocols and leveraging automation to amplify productivity and security.
Take advantage of Okta’s easy and secure app integrations, stay alert for vendor-driven improvements, and partner with ZeroTek to ensure every Okta deployment is optimized for security and efficiency.
