SlashID is now monitoring your Okta environment for potential security issues. It may take a couple of minutes for the initial data sync, after which you can start exploring security events in the 'Identity Protection Dashboard' section of the SlashID Console.

You can also receive Okta events as a stream via the SlashID API. Follow the Okta event streaming guide to set it up.
