Last week, I was in Washington, D.C. to officially open the doors of Okta’s new office in the epicenter of the nation’s capital where the public and private sectors meet.

The first two days of Oktane18 have officially come and gone. Thousands of developers and IT professionals arrived at the ARIA Resort & Casino in the heart of Las Vegas on Tuesday for three days of networking, 1:1 time with experts, insights into the latest security and identity technologies, and outstanding keynote speakers.

Today at Oktane18, I shared my belief that identity is one of the greatest challenges and opportunities of our time. The people who work at Okta, as well as many of our customers and partners, feel a sense of great urgency around this challenge.
