Global enterprises have built rapidly-evolving, expansive workforces that continuously adopt new technology and engage with new markets. As a result, tens of thousands of employees, contractors, and partners are interacting with and accessing sensitive information. Aside from the efficiency hurdles, a distributed and disparate workforce presents an increasingly difficult security challenge, especially in the face of growing attacks and breaches where everyone from the rank and file to the executive suite could become attack targets. In a global threat landscape in which 80 percent of attacks involve compromised or weak credentials, enterprises must maintain a security posture that accounts for dynamic and global workforces while still enabling robust protection at scale. That means implementing and maintaining access management best practices across global workforces and simultaneously turning those potential victims of attacks into first responders.

“Enterprises operating at tremendous scale are faced with the seemingly impossible task of managing technology access, with each application requiring individual policy configuration in order to avoid potentially catastrophic risk. By centralizing identity, these organizations can not only deploy new technology faster, but do so securely,” said Diya Jolly, Chief Product Officer, Okta. “HealthInsight goes even further to secure large scale organizations, offering a tailored assessment of an organization’s security posture as well as providing the unique ability to automate policy responses across hundreds of apps. With UserInsight, CISOs can harness their massive user base to seamlessly report suspicious activity without impacting productivity, turning security targets into first responders. Collectively, SecurityInsights leverage the end user, administrator, and network effects across Okta’s customer base to help keep enterprises secure, regardless of their size or complexity.”
