Okta's Identity Cloud update to boost migration from on-premise infra
Okta, the provider of secure identity management and single sign-on for the enterprise has updated its Identity Cloud to power a new independent directory standard and integration ecosystem for the extended enterprise. According to the company the updates include a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) interface for Okta Universal Directory, an expanded Okta Integration Network, automated access for customers and partners, and end-to-end auditing.
“While the benefits of the cloud have been well established for years, many organizations are still unable to take full advantage of innovative new services due to their reliance on legacy infrastructure, which adds complexity and cost to implement and use,” said Eric Berg, Chief Product Officer, Okta.
“Modern IT requires a dynamic system that can help them match the race car pace of technology innovation. We’re investing heavily in building on our independent and neutral platform to manage these demands – and today’s new features make the Okta Identity Cloud the most comprehensive integration solution available for businesses today.”The company claims that the enhancements to its Identity Cloud will make it easier for IT administrators to manage the breadth of on-premises and cloud-based applications, devices, and people involved in modern business.
