Okta is an award-winning cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform widely trusted to safeguard user authentication and access across organizations of all sizes.

At its core, Okta’s mission is to ensure only authorized individuals gain access to needed resources at the appropriate times without compromise to either security or user experience.

Security forms the cornerstone of their architecture, operations and product offerings – an approach Okta takes very seriously indeed!

Okta’s platform utilizes an identity-centric security architecture based on zero trust security principles, where no individual or device should be trusted within an enterprise network by default.

Each access request must therefore be constantly verified based on factors including user identity, device posture and location as well as behaviour; this mitigates against risk from attackers by continuously verifying each access request in real time against these criteria and reduces risks of unapproved entry and movement by attackers significantly.

Okta’s primary security measure, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), requires users to authenticate themselves using two or more verification factors, including passwords, biometrics, security tokens or push notifications through Okta Verify app push notifications.

Adaptive MFA takes it a step further by considering contextual factors (device health status, IP Address addressing patterns etc) which then dictate real time decisions regarding access decisions with dynamic decisions regarding access decisions taken real time!

Okta ensures secure user lifecycle management by automating user provisioning and deprovisioning across applications, which reduces risks related to orphaned accounts or overprovisioned users.

In addition, its access policies enable companies to enforce role-based access controls as well as timed or just-in-time (JIT) provisioning so they have better oversight on who has access to what and when.

Data Security and Encryption Security in Okta is also focused on safeguarding user data.
All traffic in transit or at rest is encrypted using strong industry standards such as TLS 1.2+ and AES-256 encryption; custom encryption keys also give organizations control over how their information is secured on Okta’s platform. Im̌atix Ima̍tix Imat̥ix
