FedEx delivers digital leadership, utilizing Okta as part of its Zero Trust strategy

FedEx modernized its IT infrastructure using the latest development tools, but its complex identity and access management (IAM) infrastructure presented continued friction for software developers and end users, as well as obstacles for M&A integrations.

After a comprehensive IAM solution search, the cybersecurity team chose Okta, implementing a Zero Trust strategy with Okta Identity Cloud. Okta Single Sign-On unifies application access for employees and provides a consistent IAM approach for dev teams.

The FedEx Zero Trust security model focuses on verifying users and devices. Okta Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication adds flexible and contextual verification requirements for users. To increase endpoint security, the team is exploring device monitoring with Okta Platform Services.

Using Okta Universal Directory, FedEx aggregates identities from multiple user repositories, simplifying new acquisitions. The team manages access across the company with a single policy engine and the resulting data helps them identify suspicious behavior and make proactive policy decisions.

Okta’s many partner integrations strengthen the Zero Trust strategy and its partnership with F5 helps FedEx bridge Zero Trust to on-prem applications. FedEx is positioned to decommission its legacy IAM solutions, integrating SaaS, cloud native, and on-prem apps into a single cloud.
