Modern organizations are increasingly required to manage users that are more complex than traditional employees. These non-traditional users might be contractors, temp workers, third-party partners, vendors, or others.

This might mean proper deprovisioning of a population that is in constant flux or enforcing MFA for users you don’t have control over. Learn how Okta helps with your extended enterprise and hear how Dick’s Sporting Goods manages this problem with Okta.
