Automate IT and Security Tasks with Workflows Solutions Packs
Today’s companies face conflicting demands: the need to do more with less while balancing employee experience and robust security compliance. And the stakes are higher than ever. Our State of Digital Trust survey found that 47% of customers stop using an organization's services after a data breach. According to Adobe’s 2021 State of Work report, 32% of employees have left a company frustrated by work technology. So how can you succeed in this demanding landscape?
A robust identity platform is a solid start, but automation is key to success. By removing manual work, IT and security teams can scale, employees can get faster access to what they need, and companies can maintain the proper security and compliance posture. Enter Okta Workflows — a no-code identity automation and orchestration platform. Now, it’s even easier to use because we’ve introduced Solution Packs: a collection of pre-built and customizable templates bundled by popular tasks. Just choose your use case and deploy in minutes. This means you can save time and money while solving your most pressing IT and security challenges.
