With Cerby Universal Logout, you can immediately prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data from potential threats by logging users out of their assigned apps across all devices and terminating their sessions and access tokens.

This action is complemented by password rotations for the affected accounts, ensuring that compromised login credentials cannot be reused. Additionally, when a logout is triggered, all Cerby workspace Admins are notified, keeping your team informed and up to date.

In addition to Cerby’s native Universal Logout capabilities, you can extend Okta Universal Logout functionality to Cerby directly from the Okta Admin Dashboard. This integration streamlines session termination across both platforms, saving you time on manual user management and enhancing overall security. By partnering with Okta, Cerby unlocks new security enhancements and delivers robust protection that keeps our customers one step ahead of cyber threats.

The following are the main characteristics of Universal Logout:

  • Cross-platform session and token termination: When Cerby’s Universal Logout is triggered, Cerby terminates all sessions and tokens in the Cerby web dashboard, browser extension, and mobile app.

  • Log out more than just Cerby sessions: User’s sessions and tokens are terminated in apps with Universal Logout support. For other apps, Cerby performs automated password rotations on all accounts accessible to the user.

  • Direct integration with Okta: Cerby integrates with Okta Identity Threat Protection, providing immediate response to security threats.

How it works

Cerby Universal Logout works at the following two levels:

  • Cerby’s native Universal Logout: Sessions, tokens, and session data are terminated directly through Cerby. Automated password rotations are performed on all accounts to which the user has been granted access and terminating user sessions on the corresponding apps if possible.

  • Okta Universal Logout extended to Cerby:

    • Okta only: Okta Universal Logout enables Admins to terminate user and app sessions, along with tokens, when risks are detected. Refer to Okta Universal Logout official page.

    • Okta and Cerby: Okta Universal Logout is available through the Cerby app in the Okta Integration Network (OIN), automating Cerby’s Universal Logout capabilities in conjunction with Identity Threat Protection.
