For more than a decade, Okta has been leading the way in how businesses access data and applications in the cloud, enabling them to transform securely. As we continue to innovate to protect our customers from identity threats, such as the rise in phishing attacks, we must ensure that they can leverage the same technology to guarantee secure access at any point during the user’s workday.
OKTA and TEC360 participated in the América Digital event last week, where Nirav Seth, Sales and Solutions Engineer at OKTA, emphasized that protecting confidential information has become increasingly difficult as more users—from employees to business partners—access a wide range of resources using multiple devices, which serve both as storage and as gateways to critical data and applications.
"When we think about digital transformation, we're faced with a global landscape where we have to change and adapt our organizations to avoid becoming obsolete," said Nirav Seth. "Studies show that 64% of organizations are considering redefining their business models," he added.
“Identity is the connecting thread that runs through an entire organization; everything has an identity,” Nirav Seth shared in his interview with América Digital. As he mentioned, identity is at the forefront of security strategy; addressing it will lead to fewer concerns in the future. If this is not done, data ends up scattered everywhere and becomes more vulnerable to unauthorized use.
Thus, Identity enables customers to ensure that data on local devices is protected by the same identity provider that secures access to data and applications in the cloud. It will also improve the user experience by allowing users to securely access all their work resources—including all their cloud applications—simply by logging in to their computers with their Okta credentials, enabling them to do their work more securely and quickly.
In short, identity-based security is essential in an ever-evolving digital world. Okta leads the way by enabling companies to secure access to data and cloud applications while ensuring the security of on-premises devices. With capabilities such as multi-factor authentication on the desktop and password synchronization, it enhances the login experience and protects sensitive information. As a leading identity provider in Mexico, TEC360 is committed to constantly offering new features and becoming the unified access management layer to protect devices and applications.
