Compromised identities are behind the vast majority of modern cyberattacks. Passwords, privileged accounts, access tokens, and, increasingly, AI agents – each of these elements can become a gateway into an organization. Okta is an independent, neutral identity platform trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide. Gartner consistently names Okta a leader in the Magic Quadrant™ for Access Management. The company manages over 8,200 integrations with applications and systems. It is one of the most widely connected security platforms on the market.
Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication: The Foundation of Secure Access
Okta provides users with a single, secure point of access to all applications, whether cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid. With Single Sign-On, employees log in once and gain access to all the tools they need. They don’t have to remember dozens of passwords. Context-based MFA complements this – Okta evaluates every login attempt in real time. It takes into account the user’s identity, device, location, and behavior patterns. Access is granted or blocked adaptively, without unnecessarily hindering work.
Okta Identity Governance – Compliance-Driven Access Management
Excessive permissions are one of the most common causes of security breaches. Okta Identity Governance (OIG) allows you to precisely manage who has access to which resources and why. The platform automates the granting and revocation of access and performs periodic permission reviews. It also enforces the principle of Separation of Duties – preventing the accumulation of conflicting permissions that could lead to abuse. OIG simplifies compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, NIS2, and ISO 27001.
Okta Privileged Access – Protection for Privileged Accounts
Administrator and service accounts are particularly attractive targets for attackers. Okta Privileged Access provides full control over access to critical resources. It includes automatic credential rotation, detailed session logging, and the ability to immediately revoke access. The solution protects both human and machine accounts: API keys, tokens, shared accounts, and automation tools.
Identity Threat Protection – Continuous Monitoring of Identity Threats
Okta Identity Threat Protection operates throughout the entire duration of a user’s session – not just at login. The platform integrates signals from third-party security tools and detects anomalies in real time. It automatically responds to threats such as session hijacking or token theft. If a threat is detected, it immediately terminates sessions in all connected applications – without waiting for human intervention.
AI Agent Security: A New Class of Identity
Organizations are deploying more and more autonomous AI agents that operate on their behalf. Each of these agents connects to systems and processes data – often without the IT teams’ knowledge. Okta has provided dedicated tools for managing AI agent identities. These tools enable agent registration, detection of unauthorized “shadow agents,” and standardization of access. In the event of unwanted behavior, permissions can be revoked immediately. Organizations can deploy AI without sacrificing control and security.
Auth0 – Identity for Apps and Developers
Auth0 is Okta’s developer-focused platform. It enables developers to quickly integrate secure authentication and authorization into any application. The Auth for GenAI feature secures identity workflows in applications based on generative AI. It supports asynchronous authentication for long-running agents and granular authorization for RAG models.
