Surf AI joins the Okta Integration Network

Make identity the backbone of remediation

Surf AI is excited to join the Okta Integration Network. In modern security, the biggest challenge is operationalizing more findings than any team can act on. The real problem is the operational gap between a confirmed finding and a closed one, and the hardest questions inside that gap are almost always the same: who owns this and how do we drive it to closure?

Ownership is an identity question. The answer lives in group membership, application assignments, and team structure, which is exactly the context Okta holds. 

By joining the Okta Integration Network, Surf turns that identity context into resolved ownership, and resolved ownership into actionable findings.

Why this matters for Okta customers

  • Connect Surf to your existing Okta tenant as a pre-built, validated integration, with no custom integration work to build or maintain.
  • Make identity the backbone of remediation. Surf reads your Okta identity, group, and application-assignment context to resolve who actually owns a finding, not who was listed against it last quarter.
  • Drive every finding to closure. Identity surfaces who can approve the change and who to escalate to when the listed owner is unavailable, so findings keep moving instead of stalling on a name.
  • Keep ownership current as access changes. As joiners, movers, and leavers flow through Okta, ownership resolution reflects the state of your organization today.
  • Move from confirmed finding to the right owner to a safe fix. Identity context feeds the Business Context Graph so findings route to the right engineer and resolve under your compliance guardrails.

How identity becomes remediation

Most remediation stalls before any code changes, because no one is sure who owns the finding or whether they are still responsible for it. Surf removes that stall. The Business Context Graph ingests your Okta identity context alongside signals from your code, cloud, ticketing, and on-call systems, resolves the real owner, models blast radius, and applies the compliance scope that governs the asset, all at once rather than in sequence. What used to be an ownership hunt becomes a routed, policy-aware action.

Identity does not stop mattering once the owner is named. It is what carries a finding to completion. The same Okta context tells Surf who can approve the change, who to route to when the listed owner is on leave or has moved teams, and who is accountable next when a finding stalls. As access and team structure change in Okta, that follow-through stays current, so work escalates to a real person instead of waiting on a name that is no longer right. Identity is how a finding gets owned, and how it gets driven all the way to closure.

What changes for your team

Without Surf, a confirmed finding bounces between dashboards, chat threads, and tickets while someone figures out who owns it, what it touches, and whether the fix is allowed. The ownership question alone can stall a fix for hours, and the finding stays live in production the whole time.

With Surf, identity context resolves the real owner, the Business Context Graph models blast radius and compliance scope together, the work routes to the responsible party, and a safe fix gets orchestrated end to end.

Consider a critical CVE in a customer-facing payments service. The finding is confirmed, but the asset has no clear owner in the CMDB and the last engineer who touched it has since moved teams. Surf reads the current identity context in Okta, group membership, application assignments, and team structure, to resolve the engineer who owns the service today, confirms they are available, and orchestrates a compliance-checked fix. The finding moves from confirmed to closed without a single ownership hunt.

Same finding. Same environment. A different order of magnitude.
