Think about the last time you went home after dinner with friends. You pulled out your cell phone and hailed a ride using an app. As a customer, you had a seamless experience with just a few taps. But the backend technology that made it possible was actually a tapestry of interwoven apps, connected into one unified experience using APIs. The…

Seamless and secure access— anywhere, any device, anytime for any user. It sounds simple, right? Gone are the days when employees had a Windows desktop and authenticated with the corporate network to AD to get access to apps running in your datacenter. If users were outside the company, they were funneled in via the VPN. It’s a challenge to…

The Okta Application Network (OAN) has grown to include pre-built integrations for over 5,000 cloud, on-prem and mobile applications, with rich capabilities, like “app-as-master” which drives IT provisioning and intelligent user off-boarding, helping automate the user lifecycle.

More and more organizations are migrating to the cloud, but we haven’t forgotten those organizations still locked into their existing on-premises IT infrastructure. Access to all applications, on-prem and cloud, should be simple and secure whether you’re trending…

An office is more than just a place to work. It’s where ideas and innovations come to life, friendships are established and challenges are faced head-on. It should foster a supportive and collaborative environment that produces a unique company culture. That’s the view of Okta’s Senior Director, Head of Global Workplace Services Armen Vartanian…

We’re living in the connected era, and the mobile-first approach continues to gain momentum in the enterprise. A 2015 survey by 451 Research showed that 40 percent of companies are prioritizing the mobilization of business apps during the next two years.
