Maintaining the security of a large digital infrastructure poses a critical challenge for many global enterprise organizations. With a vast network of systems and devices across multiple regions, Mars, the global manufacturer of some of the world's most famous confectionery and pet brands, needs comprehensive visibility into its environment, automated incident response, and a prioritized means of solving risk-based security issues. In this interview, we explore how Mars partnered with Okta and Material Security to leverage Identity to protect sensitive content and applications. We sat down with several of Mars' security staff, including their CISO (Matt Pecorelli), security engineering director (Larry Clark), platform security engineer (Brian McCown), and identity director (Sasa Jankovic). Q: When it first came to solving secure access for your employees, you were evaluating multiple suppliers. Why did you go with Okta? Matt: Mars is more like a holding company.
