In an effort to bolster security and reduce the attack surface, organizations have been adopting Zero Trust architectures. However, one of the major challenges that companies face in implementing Zero Trust is the lack of interoperability between various security tools. The Shared Signals Framework (SSF) aims to address this challenge by providing a standardized way for security events to be exchanged. By utilizing Tines' workflow orchestration and AI platform, teams can create a more reliable and efficient Zero Trust architecture that delivers real-time device-compliance updates and access decisions in response to emerging threats.

In an effort to bolster security and reduce the attack surface, organizations have been adopting Zero Trust architectures. However, one of the major challenges that companies face in implementing Zero Trust is the lack of interoperability between various security tools. Many tools do not support the Shared Signals Framework (SSF), which is a standardized way for security events to be exchanged.
According to Accenture, 88% of organizations have struggled to implement Zero Trust approaches due to their security tools not communicating effectively with one another. When products fail to share signals in real-time, access decisions break down, and this can lead to significant security risks.
To address these challenges, Scott Bean, a Senior IAM and Security Engineer at MongoDB, proposed a solution that empowers teams to operationalize the SSF across their environment easily and intuitively. This approach uses Tines' workflow orchestration and AI platform in conjunction with Kolide Device Trust and Okta's identity platform.
The proposed workflow is based on three key elements: generating and storing SET signing keys, exposing the SSF transmitter API, and creating CAEP events from Kolide issue events.
In order to generate and store SET signing keys, a workflow action is used to create an RSA key pair. Both the public and private keys are converted into JWK format and stored as a Tines secret. This ensures that the SSF transmitter can send signed SETs to Okta's security-events endpoint for verification.
The SSF API is then exposed by publishing its well-known configuration and JWKS endpoints. These provide consuming systems with a standardized place to fetch keys and decrypt tokens.
Once live, teams can register this transmitter as a shared signals sender in Okta, which enables real-time device-compliance updates and access policies that respond immediately to threats.
This solution addresses the challenges faced by organizations trying to implement Zero Trust due to the lack of interoperability between security tools. By utilizing Tines' workflow orchestration and AI platform, teams can create a more reliable and efficient Zero Trust architecture that delivers real-time device-compliance updates and access decisions in response to emerging threats.
