Organizations today face increasingly diverse and sophisticated cyber threats. This work is bigger than any one entity; it forms part of a collaborative global initiative to make the internet a safer place. For Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’re going behind the scenes with some of Okta’s Cyber Security Advocates, a talented group of professionals from diverse backgrounds, to learn their perspectives on the field and how they got here. Tanesha Magby, CISA, CRISC, CDPSE, Director of Information Security for the Customer Identity Cloud Product Unit at Okta, has over two decades of experience in IT, risk, and cyber security. Tanesha started her career developing software at Accenture, then planted herself in financial services technology at Bank of America. There she led software development teams through the software development life cycle for changes to online and mobile platforms, which included rolling out payments processing functionality and improvements to user experience.
