Okta Launches Open-Source Auth0 Detection Catalog for Proactive Threat Monitoring

Okta has launched the Auth0 Customer Detection Catalog, an open-source toolkit designed to help security teams proactively detect and respond to emerging threats within their Auth0 environments.

Now available on GitHub, the catalog enhances Auth0’s native threat detection capabilities with real-world detection rules contributed by both Okta experts and the broader security community.

"The catalog provides a growing collection of pre-built queries, contributed by Okta personnel and the wider security community, that surface suspicious activities like anomalous user behavior, potential account takeovers and misconfigurations," Maria Vasilevskaya, Solutions Engineer at Okta, said in a blog post.

The catalog features Sigma-compatible rules, enabling seamless integration with popular SIEM platforms and log analysis tools. Each detection includes metadata, descriptions of potential threats, and recommended actions—empowering analysts with actionable insights.

Ideal for tenant admins, developers, DevOps teams, and security analysts, the detection catalog helps identify issues such as misconfigurations, account takeovers, suspicious administrator behavior, and attack patterns like SMS pumping or token abuse.

Okta ensures the catalog remains up to date with fresh detections derived from real-world security incidents. Its open-source nature also fosters collaboration, allowing users to contribute and benefit from shared intelligence.

Security teams can deploy the rules immediately by converting Sigma queries and integrating them into existing alerting workflows. With this release, Okta positions the Auth0 platform as a proactive, community-driven defense layer against evolving cyber threats.
