Okta is an enterprise-grade, identity management service that connects any person with any application on any device. It’s built for the cloud, but is also compatible with many on-premises applications. With Okta, IT can manage any employee’s access to any application or device. Okta runs in the cloud, on a secure, reliable, extensively audited platform, which integrates deeply with on-premises applications, directories, and identity management systems. Okta features include Provisioning, Single Sign-On (SSO), Active Directory (AD) and LDAP integration, the centralized deprovisioning of users, multifactor authentication (MFA), mobile identity management, and flexible policies for organization security and control. All of these functions are brought together through a network of pre-integrated applications called the Okta Integration Network (OIN). The OIN provides diverse integration options, enabling SSO login for every app your users need to access during their work day. In summary, Okta is a customizable, secure, and drop-in solution to add authentication and authorization services to your applications. It provides scalable authentication built right into your application without the development overhead, security risks, and maintenance that come from building it yourself.
