Okta: Identity & Access Management with Single Sign-On, MFA and Zero Trust

Okta is one of the world's leading independent platforms for identity and access management (IAM) — and the single secure login your whole company can rely on. Founded in 2009 and used by thousands of organisations worldwide, Okta connects your people to every application through one identity: single sign-on (SSO) across more than 8,000 pre-built integrations, adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA) that steps up only when the risk does, and automated joiner–mover–leaver provisioning that grants the right access on day one and revokes it the minute someone leaves. Universal Directory, Identity Governance, Privileged Access and Identity Threat Protection sit on the same platform, with Auth0 covering customer-facing logins — so instead of password chaos and manual user admin, you get Zero Trust security your auditors will actually sign off on

Why you should protect your IT systems with access management

Figures, employee data, customer information—these are just some of the sensitive details within a company that need protection. Your databases and systems store information about numerous individuals, service providers, and partners, which should only be accessible to authorized employees. This is precisely why access management is crucial for your company, as there are many threats lurking on the World Wide Web targeting your data. But don't worry—with reliable access management, you can rest easy again.

PROTECTION AGAINST CYBER ATTACKS
PROTECTION AGAINST CYBER ATTACKS
Weak passwords, phishing, or stolen login credentials are the tools cybercriminals use to gain access to your system. An access management platform blocks all potential avenues for unauthorized access with its built-in security features.
PREVENTION OF INTERNAL THREATS
PREVENTION OF INTERNAL THREATS
Never forget – not all threats to your systems come from outside. Your employees can also, intentionally or unintentionally, jeopardize data. You can mitigate this risk with access management through dedicated access control: By defining roles and assigning them specifically to employees, they will only have access to the systems and information necessary for their work.
ADHERENCE TO COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES
ADHERENCE TO COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES
For some industries, access management is not just an option, but a necessity, as they are subject to strict data protection regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. An IAM platform helps you comply with these regulations by ensuring that sensitive data can only be accessed by authorized individuals.

What Okta does: fast, reliable IT and secure identity in one platform

  • Single sign-on (SSO)
    Users log in to Okta once with their username and password, and the system issues a token that verifies their identity. For as long as that token is valid, they reach every authorised application and system without logging in again — fewer password resets for your helpdesk, less friction for your team.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
    A username and password alone are not enough. Every login is confirmed with a second factor of the user's choice: a PIN, an additional password, a security question, an authenticator app, facial recognition or a fingerprint. Adaptive policies apply the extra step only where the risk justifies it.
  • FastPass — passwordless login
    No password at all. FastPass combines biometric authentication — Face ID, Touch ID or Windows Hello — with device trust. Users enrol their device through the Okta Verify app, FastPass confirms the device is trustworthy, and login happens with a fingerprint or a glance.
  • Universal Directory
    Every area and system in your organisation is consolidated into one central identity cloud for consistent user management. You can synchronise across multiple identity sources and enforce your security policies from a single place.
  • Centralised user and role management
    Define users, roles and permissions for applications and APIs from one dashboard. Onboarding grants the right access on day one; offboarding revokes it immediately — no forgotten accounts left open behind you.
  • API Access Management
    Okta secures more than user access. Build API authorisation policies based on application and user context so only the right people and services reach your endpoints, and apply proven API security practices across desktop and mobile applications alike.
  • Real-time threat detection
    Okta gives you a live view of your identity platform, detects threats the moment they appear, and stops attacks with automated countermeasures before they escalate. Phishing-resistant authentication adds a further layer of protection.
  • Least-privilege access control
    Dynamic access controls enforce zero standing privileges and the principle of least privilege, so every user holds exactly the rights they need and nothing beyond them.
  • Risk signals from your whole security stack
    By ingesting risk indicators from the security tools you already run, Okta triggers the right response at the right moment — and makes better use of the systems you have already paid for by bringing them together on one platform.
  • Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM)
    The same protection for the people who buy from you. CIAM gives your customers secure, effortless access to your digital services, with the full set of authentication options — single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and FastPass — plus advanced tooling for more complex identity requirements.

Okta brings single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, passwordless login, directory services and API security together in one identity and access management (IAM) platform — for your employees and your customers alike. Instead of managing passwords, permissions and user accounts in a dozen separate systems, you control every identity from one dashboard, with Zero Trust security applied consistently across all of them. These are the ten capabilities that matter most in practice

  • Does codafish offer advice before buying Okta?
    As part of the standard codafish service package, a comprehensive consultation is included before purchasing Okta. The current situation is assessed together, and the customer's requirements are defined. Based on this, the necessary modules are identified and checked for compatibility with the systems and applications that Okta will be integrated with. Finally, Okta is configured accordingly, and the customer is trained on how to use it effectively.
  • Can Okta be integrated with existing systems?

The system also provides connectivity to on-premises applications through APIs or the Okta Access Gateway.
