How Okta Helps
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Lifecycle Management
Universal Directory
API Access Management
Customer Identity (CIAM)
SSO - One login gives users access to all their apps—no more juggling passwords or re-entering credentials all day.
UD - A flexible, cloud-based directory that stores and manages user information from all sources.
MFA - Adds an extra layer of protection, asking users to verify their identity via a phone prompt, fingerprint, or code when needed.
API - Secures communication between applications by making sure only authorized users and systems can access data.
LCM - Automatically gives people the access they need when they join—and removes it when they leave or change roles.
CIAM - Helps businesses create secure, seamless login experiences for their customers.
Okta isn’t a legacy system trying to adapt to the cloud—it was built in the cloud, for the cloud. That means it’s naturally scalable, easy to integrate, and always up to date. Whether you’re a startup with 50 users or an enterprise with 50,000, Okta can grow with you. And with over 7,000 out-of-the-box integrations (from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to AWS, Zoom, and Salesforce), connecting your tools takes minutes, not months.
We all want strong security, but no one wants to jump through hoops every time they log in. Okta strikes the balance between security and convenience. It uses smart, context-aware policies to evaluate things like where a user is logging in from, what device they’re using, and whether their behavior looks suspicious. If anything seems off, Okta can prompt for extra verification—or block access altogether.
From tech companies and hospitals to banks and government agencies, thousands of organizations around the world rely on Okta. Brands like FedEx, T-Mobile, Zoom, Adobe, and the U.S. Department of Justice use Okta to manage identity securely and at scale. Okta also supports some of the world’s strictest compliance requirements, including HIPAA, FedRAMP, and GDPR—making it a strong choice for industries that handle sensitive data.
