About Okta
Okta is an identity and access management platform that covers workforce, customer, partner, and AI agent identities. Its workforce products include single sign-on, adaptive multi-factor authentication, Universal Directory, device access, and API access management. Governance tooling covers lifecycle management, identity governance, and privileged access, with threat detection handled by Identity Security Posture Management and Identity Threat Protection. Customer identity is split between Auth0, listed under Okta's products and aimed at developers building login into their own apps, and Okta Customer Identity for external identities. Newer offerings target machine identities: Okta for AI Agents, AI Identity for B2B and Commerce, and the Cross App Access Protocol. The Okta Integration Network provides prebuilt integrations, and the site lists solutions for public sector, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, travel and hospitality, technology, non-profits, energy, and small business. A free trial is available, and there is a dedicated pricing page.
