What Omnissa adds to Okta
Omnissa delivers the device posture, compliance, and risk signals that Okta uses to support adaptive access decisions.
Share real-time device signals
Real-time session monitoring goes beyond the initial login check. IT teams can catch emerging threats mid-session, not just at sign-in, and act on them immediately.
Monitor device posture continuously
Endpoint health checks run continuously, not just at enrollment. This gives IT teams an accurate, current view of where each device stands on security requirements.
Automate remediation
Risky sessions are ended and workflows triggered across platforms automatically. This cuts manual intervention while accelerating response to identity-based threats.

Why the partnership matters
Okta and Omnissa: better together
Workspace ONE UEM and Okta exchange live signals so IT teams can enforce access policies based on current endpoint compliance data.
Combined Value
Workspace ONE UEM shares continuous device compliance signals with Okta Identity Threat Protection using the Shared Signals Framework. Okta then applies Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol logic to trigger universal logout or automated workflows in real time.
Combined Value
Omnissa Access federates identity with Okta to deliver SSO across cloud and on-premises apps. This supports hybrid environments while keeping identity governance centralized in Okta.
Combined Value
Omnissa Intelligence correlates endpoint data that feeds Okta's risk analytics engine. Together, they help security teams reduce dwell time and respond faster to endpoint-based threats.
Okta and Omnissa: architecture overview
Gain greater visibility into user and device trust with an integrated Omnissa and Okta architecture. By combining device posture, identity signals, and risk-based policies, organizations can help align access decisions reflect current device compliance and security conditions from end to end.
Components
This layer covers how device compliance events move from Omnissa to Okta, using the Shared Signals Framework as its foundation.
-
Workspace ONE UEM
Generates device compliance and posture change events.
-
Omnissa Access
Configures the subscriber and routes security events to Okta.
-
Configure SSF (shared signal foundation) Well-Known URL
Establishes the secure connection endpoint used by Okta's shared signal receiver.
Proof and validation

Omnissa and Okta FAQ
Device posture refers to the real-time compliance and security state of an endpoint, such as encryption status or patch level. Omnissa shares this data with Okta so access decisions reflect current risk, not a one-time check at login. This supports ZERO TRUST strategies across managed and unmanaged devices.
Omnissa integrates with Okta Identity Threat Protection through the Shared Signals Framework, using the Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol to share device compliance events. Okta then applies Entity Risk Policy rules to trigger actions like universal logout or automated workflows. This integration requires Omnissa Access, Omnissa Intelligence, and Workspace ONE UEM.
The integration supports corporate-owned, BYOD, shared or multi-use, and kiosk-mode devices enrolled in Workspace ONE UEM. Each device type triggers policy-based responses in Okta when compliance status changes, helping IT teams apply consistent access controls across virtually any ownership model.
The integration enforces risk-based conditional access using endpoint health data, identity signals, and behavioral indicators. Okta can trigger universal logout, revoke tokens, or launch workflows when Omnissa reports a compliance change. This helps organizations meet regulatory requirements with continuous, auditable enforcement.
You'll need Omnissa Access, Omnissa Intelligence, Workspace ONE UEM with compliance policies configured, and an Okta Identity Engine org with Identity Threat Protection enabled. Admins configure security event subscribers in Omnissa cloud services, then connect the SSF Well-Known URL in Okta's Device Integrations settings. Detailed configuration steps are available through Okta support documentation.
