San Francisco, CA - November 11, 2014 – Okta today announced a new edition of its identity platform that will enable software developers everywhere to build more secure cloud applications and accelerate adoption of those services within enterprises. Okta Developer Edition is a fully productized version of the company’s APIs, which gives software developers a proven, rapid way to build Okta’s identity components, including secure authentication, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and Active Directory integration, directly into their web or mobile applications.

The company spent its first five years building its identity platform to give IT leaders a centralized way to manage and securely connect people to their on-premises, cloud and mobile applications. Okta opened up its platform last year, expanding the reach of its APIs and developing SDKs for different languages. The company has since worked with numerous customers and their software development teams, including Adobe Systems, Advent Software, Informatica, Rotary International and Servic
