Identity-based security starts with power-up

For more than a decade, Okta has been leading the way enterprises access data and applications in the cloud, enabling them to securely transform. As we continue to innovate to protect our customers from identity threats, such as the rise of phishing attacks, we must ensure they can leverage the same technology to ensure secure access at any time during the user's workday.

OKTA and TEC360 participated in the Digital America event last week, where Nirav Seth, Sales and Solutions Engineer at OKTA, reaffirmed that protecting sensitive information has become increasingly difficult as more users, from employees to business partners, access a wide range of resources using multiple devices, which serve as both storage and gateways to critical data and applications.

When thinking about digital transformation, we have brought a scenario in the world where we have to change and adapt our organizations in order not to become obsolete. Studies emphasize that 64% of organizations are thinking about redefining their business models, said Nirav Seth.  

Identity is the connected fabric that runs through an entire organization, everything has an identity," shared Nirav Seth in his interview with América Digital. As he mentions identity is at the forefront of security strategy, taking care of it will bring less concerns in the future. By not doing so, as a result, data is everywhere and more vulnerable to unauthorized use.

Identity thus enables customers to ensure that data on the local device is protected by the same identity provider that protects access to data and applications in the cloud. It will also enhance the user experience by allowing users to securely access all their work resources, including all their cloud applications, by simply logging into their computers with their Okta credentials, enabling them to get their work done more securely and quickly.

In short, identity-based security is critical in an ever-evolving digital world. Okta leads the way by enabling enterprises to protect access to data and applications in the cloud, while ensuring the security of on-premises devices. With capabilities such as desktop multi-factor authentication and password synchronization, it enhances the login experience and protects sensitive information. TEC360 as a leading identity provider in Mexico, is committed to constantly deliver new features and become the unified access management layer to secure devices and applications.
