There’s an urgent customer call to address business partner use cases with non-workforce applications, and today, we're answering that call. That’s why we're thrilled to announce the extension of Okta Identity Governance to Okta Customer Identity, offering the same level of security and control you use for your workforce to your external users and partners.
Okta already provides robust capabilities for managing identities with Lifecycle Management and Workflows. The Okta Identity Governance product will now complete the picture by adding the critical Access Governance layer, helping to ensure customers know who has what access, when, and why.
The three pillars of Okta Identity Governance for Okta Customer Identity
This powerful solution is built on three core components that work together to simplify identity governance for external users.
Lifecycle Management
- Okta Lifecycle Management enables rapid deployment without custom integrations.
- It automates manual tasks like provisioning and deprovisioning, reducing the burden on your IT and development teams, and improving your security outcomes.
- It also maintains a single source of truth by syncing user information between Okta and third-party applications.
Workflows
- Okta Workflows helps mitigate risks that can arise from manual or custom scripts.
- It enables anyone to automate identity-based processes to drive seamless user experiences and accelerate their time to market.
Access Governance
- The Access Governance layer, now available on Okta Customer Identity, provides automated access requests and approval workflows specifically for customers or partners needing access to your apps or entitlements.
- It offers essential access certification and reporting for apps provisioned to third-party users who require enhanced security.
Meeting the demand for governance
The need for governance is pronounced in sectors that require a high degree of compliance and have a potential for audit. This solution addresses the need to manage and govern access for non-employee users across a variety of use cases.
By extending the same level of security and control to your external users, you can safeguard your resources and ensure compliance across your entire ecosystem.
