Okta powers identity for the Internet

In an era where security strategies are adapting to the “trust no one, verify everywhere and every time” mantra, validating only authorised and authenticated people and devices that can gain access to critical data and infrastructure is a necessity.

While the concept of identity as the new security perimeter has been around for many years, it has now switched from an authorisation-based strategy to one with a broader remit, including credential theft, misuse, and privilege escalation in its security coverage. With the rise of remote work and increasingly sophisticated data privacy and security threats, there is no doubt why Gartner has categorised identity-first security as one of the Top Security and Risk Management Trends for 2022 and beyond.

To give our listeners insights into identity first security, advanced security approaches such as zero trust and to zoom in on why businesses need to rethink how they view security, we speak to Scott Monro, Regional VP Asia & Korea at Okta.

Okta, a Nasdaq listed company founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, California is the leading independent identity provider that secures critical resources from cloud to ground for workforce and customers. With more than 7,000 pre-built integrations to applications and infrastructure providers and over 14,000 customers on its platform, Okta provides simple, secure access to people and organisations everywhere, giving them the ability to reach their full potential.

During the interview, Scott speaks about:

Key trends that have emerged in the cybersecurity front since the start of the pandemic and as a result of remote working.
