“In just a few years, IDaaS has gone mainstream. It’s now transforming other industries, powering external portals and SaaS applications, and disrupting industries like enterprise mobility management,” said Todd McKinnon, CEO and co-founder at Okta. “The rapid and impressive innovation we’re seeing in the identity market has massive implications for the future of the connected world, which Gartner highlights in its second annual IDaaS Magic Quadrant.
“As enterprises adopt cloud services that are consumed from mobile devices, and as every company pursues a digitization of their business, it’s now clear that identity is a critical component of a modern IT infrastructure," said Ryan Carlson, vice president of marketing at Okta. “We believe that Gartner’s recognition of Okta as the only leader in the ‘Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Management as a Service’ is a testament to our early insight into the market, leadership in the convergence of identity and mobility, and the partnerships we’ve built with thousands of customers worldwide.”
