Defense in Depth: Exploring the Elements of a Layered Security Program

One of the most essential concepts in IT security is defense in depth and layered security. With tools constantly changing and evolving, you need to regularly make sure all your layers are covered.

Join us on this virtual summit to learn from top security vendors about all the elements you need to ensure that you have overlapping protections. Discover the latest and greatest security controls that will help keep attackers and malicious insiders from finding holes that allow them to compromise your systems.

You’ll get in-depth details on cutting edge developments with individual layers, such as firewalls, VPNs, anti-malware, and MFA from the most innovative providers in the market. Then you’ll also see techniques and tools for stitching those layers together into a protective whole. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to ensure your comprehensive security posture is complete and up to date!

As the world’s new work-from-home reality has multiplied user identities and cloud projects, IT teams are often spending more and more time managing AWS users, accounts, and roles. But using Okta to manage AWS resources allows you to leverage existing credentials and give an entire workforce—wherever they are, whatever device they’re using—the access they need to their AWS resources at every point in the employee lifecycle.

Over the past year, AWS and Okta have been working closely together to deepen integrations designed to help customers leverage Okta's Universal Directory and Workforce Identity products with AWS native access management capabilities.

With Okta for AWS, IT teams and developers are able to:

• Spend less time and effort managing AWS users, accounts, and roles
• Automate assignment of AWS entitlements
• Provide dynamic access that evolves across the employee lifecycle, with all the changes
• in your HR system of record automatically flowing to Okta and AWS
• Enable developers to use the native AWS CLI v2 tool; they can sign-in via their Okta credentials and be presented with a step-up challenge with Okta MFA
• Comply with your industry security certifications and regulations, if any

In this webinar, Ron Cully, Principal Product Manager at AWS, and Unni Ravindranathan, Director of Product Management at Okta, will show you how to leverage these new capabilities to connect identities inside Okta to AWS and use them to manage access across all AWS accounts and AWS SSO-integrated applications. Join us to learn how to centralize AWS access control, simplify administration, and accelerate your cloud migration with Okta and AWS.

While many organizations use AD as the authoritative source for provisioning, this model is becoming dated. It often relies on brittle, patchworked, intermediate processes to get data and signals from the real source of truth: HR systems. Why not drive provisioning directly from HR? This has many benefits: increased productivity, strengthened security, and better compliance.

Join this session to learn about:

• Best practices for driving provisioning directly from HR
• Typical setups of such an HR system
• Recent enhancements in HR-driven IT Provisioning

Join us at this invitation-only event for a dynamic discussion among User Experience, Customer Identity, Security, IT Infrastructure, Operations and SecOps leaders seeking to drive better business outcomes by developing a plan for application modernization through customer identity management.

• Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) as a Business Growth Driver
• Leveraging Identity Solutions to Establish Customer/User Trust
• Shifting the Burden of Proof Away from the End User & Customer
• Using Intelligence and Contextual Signals for Frictionless CX/UX

Join us for an Okta + Auth0 virtual User Group on January 20th at 11:00am PST. The meeting will be a great opportunity to connect with peers, learn how other IT and security experts use Okta + Auth0, and hear from the Okta + Auth0 team. This will be an interactive session for Okta + Auth0 customers.

Business digitization and remote work accelerated IT and increased security risks whether you were ready or not. Tech leaders must not only keep up with the demand, but also make the right choices to future-proof their IT, secure their server infrastructure and SaaS apps, support multiple cloud and on-prem environments, and ensure management efficacy and security.

In this webinar, we will discuss how you can use Identity as a convergence point to address these challenges without compromising security and vendor lock-in. We will also dive into how Okta partners with strategic partners like AWS to help in your journey.

Watch this session for a discussion on:

• Why Identity is the convergence point for security today?
• How Okta Identity helps in your digital strategy
• How AWS and Okta work together to boost innovation and security
• How Okta and AWS built security into servers with Advanced Server Access and the AWS QuickStart program.
• And how this translates to you

These days, cyber security is top of mind for every company, as news of ransomware attacks and data breaches becomes a daily occurrence.

Cyber insurance is a great option to help protect organizations against the fallout of a security incident, but it’s only part of an overall risk management strategy. To even be eligible for coverage, many providers require that other identity controls like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), automated Account Lifecycle Management, and Privileged Access be in place.

Join Okta + Marsh McLennan Agency, the leader in risk management strategy, in this 40-minute webinar where we’ll discuss:

• Challenges and trends in the current cyber security landscape
• What is cyber insurance and why would a company consider it
• Why is identity a critical factor for a company’s risk management strategy
