We’re thrilled to announce the release of Leen’s new Identity Provider (IDP) Connector Library, with our latest integration featuring Okta IDP and Entra IDP. Designed to enhance visibility, security, and compliance, this connector library enables organizations to gain critical insights into user identity and access data, helping teams manage user behavior and permissions more efficiently.

Whether it’s tracking risky behavior, managing privileges, or strengthening compliance, Leen’s IDP Connector Library provides a powerful solution for security and IT teams.

Key Features of Leen's IDP Connector Library

1. Comprehensive User Data

  • Types of Data Collected: Leen’s IDP integration pulls user data, user groups, assigned applications, last login times for each application, and any abnormal activity alerts. By capturing this information, organizations can gain a complete view of user activity and access within the organization.

2. Seamless Integration and Unified Reporting

  • With Leen’s IDP connectors, data is normalized and standardized, allowing organizations to integrate identity information seamlessly into their broader security and compliance infrastructure. This provides a centralized, consistent view of access patterns and identity-driven insights across the organization.

3. Enhanced Security Monitoring

  • Leen’s IDP connectors allow for real-time tracking and modeling of employee behavior, helping organizations detect and respond to risky activities or unusual login patterns. The integration provides detailed insights, such as identifying abnormal access behavior, unauthorized access attempts, and frequency of logins, all critical for proactive security monitoring.

Use Cases

1. Tracking and Modeling Risky Employee Behavior

  • Why it matters: Monitoring behavior helps organizations identify and address potential insider threats and unusual activities before they become security incidents.
  • How Leen helps: Leen’s IDP integration collects data on login times and abnormal activity alerts, allowing security teams to model user behavior and detect anomalies that may signal risky behavior. This real-time insight enables quick intervention to mitigate risks.

2. Auditing App Privileges by User

  • Why it matters: Overprivileged accounts increase the risk of unauthorized data access or privilege abuse.
  • How Leen helps: With data on assigned applications per user, organizations can regularly audit and adjust user privileges, ensuring only necessary access is granted. Leen’s standardized reporting simplifies tracking, helping teams maintain least-privilege access policies across all applications.

3. Creating a Register of Employees and Organizational Structure for Compliance

  • Why it matters: Compliance standards often require an up-to-date record of employees, job titles, and their organizational roles.
  • How Leen helps: Leen’s IDP integration enables teams to build a register of employees, their titles, departments, and app access levels. This automated record aligns with compliance frameworks and can streamline audit preparations, ensuring that access and organizational structures meet compliance requirements.

4. Correlating Alerts with User Identities for Incident Response

  • Why it matters: When incidents occur, quickly identifying who triggered an alert and who’s responsible for resolution is critical to an effective response.
  • How Leen helps: By correlating alert data with user identities, Leen provides a clear view of the users involved in generating or resolving security incidents. Security teams can easily track the activity trail, improving accountability and enhancing the speed and accuracy of incident response.

Example in Action

Imagine an organization using Okta to manage its access control, which often faces challenges with tracking who has access to sensitive applications and monitoring unusual access behavior. With Leen’s Okta integration, the organization can seamlessly collect login data, detect anomalies, and ensure that app privileges are tightly controlled. When auditors request evidence of user access policies and organizational structure, the organization can quickly generate a compliance-ready report showing up-to-date information on user access, activity, and organizational roles, streamlining the audit process.

Build with Leen

With Leen’s IDP Connector Library, companies can now enhance their identity-driven security and compliance operations, providing richer, more actionable insights across user access and behavior patterns.
