Secure APIs
Easily centralize authorization with Okta API Access Management
APIs are the very foundation of modern applications. Okta makes it simple to create, apply, and adapt authorization policies to protect your APIs.
Okta API Access Management implements OAuth 2.0 and multiple extensions
Using standards gives you an ecosystem of tooling, libraries, training, and best practices to create solutions applicable to your architectures, applications, and use cases. Okta not only implements the standards, we take an active role in helping develop them to fit your real-world problems and scenarios.
Integrate with API management platforms
Use the right tools for the job. Okta lets you embed your authorization policies into existing infrastructure in just minutes.
Many platforms, one system
We allow dev teams to use the API gateways and tools specific to their architectures and use cases while keeping authorization policies central and auditable by security teams.
Transparent provisioning
Okta Universal Directory gives you a single, real-time view of the developers, partners, and customers entering and leaving your ecosystem, ensuring only the correct people and systems have access to your APIs.
