Secures digital identities for people and software

Okta builds cloud identity software that controls how employees, customers, and automated systems access applications and company resources. Its single sign-on product lets people use one login across their work tools, while passwordless sign-in and additional identity checks protect accounts from stolen credentials. Administrators use its directory, access policies, and lifecycle tools to grant permissions when someone joins an organization and remove them when they leave. Organizations pay subscriptions based on the products they use and the identities they manage, with support included. Okta was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States.
