Identity Governance, Access Management, and Privileged Access Features Converge in new Okta cloud tools.
There are no borders in today's society. Organizations no longer have full-time employees but have a much larger ecosystem that includes various contractors and partners.
Ultimately, this means more devices accessing corporate resources from more locations than ever. Privileged User Monitoring manages secret accounts with permanent access to demanding assets.
Avoiding Identity Silos
Workforce Identity Cloud provides a single control plane, enabling IT and security teams to manage identities across enterprise resources and users.
This tool combines "his three pillars of modern identity management" into a single control area: IAM, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and infosec mechanism.
This includes OKTA Identity Governance, which simplifies requesting and granting access to resources, so IT teams can ensure that only the right people have access to specific resources. It also includes OKTA-privileged access to share root account credentials with highly privileged administrators.
It also gives administrators the tools to harden privileged resources, monitor and record privileged access, and generate detailed compliance reports for auditors.
This tool provides an orchestration layer that leverages automation to provide visibility and control over the organizational identities that third-party signals can pull.
The Proper Access and the Right Point of Time
Identity Access Management (IAM) is a framework for ensuring that the right people have the access they should (or shouldn't have) to your organization's technology assets. And with the average data breach cost reaching an all-time high of $4.35 million, the demand for (IAM) tools like Oktas continues to grow. Fortune Business Insights positions the market to reach $34.52 billion in 2028, from $14.41 billion in 2021 (CAGR 14.5%).
Okta, competing for market share with Oracle, IBM, Sail Point, Azure, and more, is taking IAM to a new level by unifying Identity and Access Management, and privileged access.
While the Okta Workforce Identity Cloud addresses a wide range of identity needs, it is when privileged accounts or users have permanent access to critical infrastructure and resources.
These ultimately create additional vulnerabilities by extending access to users who may no longer need access and targeting those user credentials to attackers. While Okta Workforce Identity Cloud addresses many identity needs, Nandy pointed out many inherent risks with existing privileges.
Introducing OKTA Identity Governance
A new integrated IAM and governance solution helps you migrate modern security risks and increase efficiency while improving your security posture.
- Access Governance – Ensure people can access the right resources when needed, with minimal effort.
- Workflow: Leverage the power of the Okta workflow platform to customize complex identity governance requirements with or without code.
Conclusion
Today's technology landscape is heterogeneous, so good integration with everything is essential, says Nandy. However, most vendors view IGA, PAM, and the IAM as separate rather than unified approaches. This limits the devices and operating systems that can be managed as part of a single platform rather than across multiple operating systems, applications, devices, and user types.
But businesses need to realize that they have an opportunity to improve the experience, protect their customers, and free app developers to focus on what matters most: innovation for their customers, he said. One will need the perfect combination of tools.
