Early Access for Secure SaaS Service Accounts, a new feature in Okta Privileged Access, is now available. With this new feature, we aim to help customers protect service accounts across an organization with account takeover, vaulting, and password rotations. Whether they’re service, shared, or break-glass accounts, security and IT teams can take control of non-federated accounts in an organization’s SaaS environment and manage them as part of their broader Identity posture. Read on to learn more about service accounts and how they contribute to Identity sprawl plus details about Okta’s new solution. What are service accounts? No matter what industry or size, businesses today use dozens if not hundreds of cloud-based applications. And within the organization, there are appointed people (or machines) to manage these applications or tasks for the company. An account is created to manage a process or task, and the organization may call it a: Service account.
