Okta debuts single sign-on authentication for the cloud
San Francisco-based identity firm Okta this morning unwrapped a new single sign-on authentication service that it says is the industry’s first integrated multifactor authentication.
It’s intended for both cloud and on-premises applications.
The more easily accessible data in the cloud, the more security you’ll need to ensure the right people are accessing it, especially when a virtual private network is no longer required for access. Okta says its multi-factor authentication — which will be included in the company’s core platform — offers a second, flexible layer of security, from basic security questions to a soft token that runs on a smartphone.
