Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce the general availability (GA) of Okta Access Gateway: Access Gateway is a new product that enables organizations to use Okta's Cloud Single Sign-On (SSO) and Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to secure access to their on-premises web apps. We’ve been working with dozens of customers in the Early Adopter Program who put Access Gateway through the ringer, and we’re chomping at the bit to get more customers onboard in GA. How does Access Gateway work? Before Access Gateway, securing access to on-premises web apps was hard. Organizations interested in protecting on-prem web apps would either deploy legacy Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions (a.k.a., Web Access Management (WAM)) in their data centers or change their on-prem application source code to support cloud identity—using standards like SAML and OpenID Connect. Both of these approaches are expensive and complicated. With Access Gateway, this challenge is gone. Access Gateway.
