Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent provider of
identity for the enterprise, today at AWS re:Invent 2020, announced
the availability of the Okta Identity Cloud and its products in AWS
Marketplace. Global Okta prospects are now able to quickly and
seamlessly purchase both Customer Identity and Workforce Identity
products in AWS Marketplace, while also benefiting from new
integrations that take advantage of both Okta and Amazon Web
Services (AWS), including AWS Control Tower, a service that
provides the easiest way to set up and govern a new, secure,
multi-account AWS environment based on best practices established
through AWS’s experience working with thousands of enterprises as
they move to the cloud.
Migration to the cloud is a top imperative for the world’s
largest organizations. Today’s remote work landscape has created
additional challenges for organizations making this migration, as
they need to rapidly ensure connectivity and security for employees
and customers alike. Identity plays a critical role helping
organizations securely and efficiently run their businesses in the
cloud, enabling seamless access for employees while still
maintaining visibility and control over sensitive data and
information. With AWS, Okta can help streamline enterprises’
identity strategy and software development approach, supporting
organizations as they accelerate digital transformation.
“Okta and AWS are playing a pivotal role in providing
infrastructure and secure access capabilities for organizations
everywhere in their move to the cloud,” said Frederic Kerrest,
Executive Vice Chairman, Chief Operating Officer, and co-founder,
Okta. “By working together, we are ensuring that organizations have
simplified access to our market-leading technologies that help them
solve complex challenges, with better security and compliance.”
“As more businesses move a higher percentage of their
application portfolio to the cloud, modernized identity and access
management has become increasingly important,” said Dave McCann,
Vice President, Migration, Marketplace, and Control Services,
Amazon Web Services. “Okta is a leader in the identity space, and
its broad network of application integrations simplifies the
deployment and management of cloud apps, services, and
infrastructure for those organizations migrating to the cloud.
We’re thrilled to welcome the Okta Identity Cloud to AWS
Marketplace to help meet the identity needs of our joint customers
who use more and more third party software vendors. Over 300,000
builders and buyers in organizations around the world use AWS
Marketplace to test, contract, entitle, and provision their
preferred third party software. We strive to bring best in class
vendors like Okta to our customers to simplify the digital supply
chain, and reduce customer time to innovation.”
In addition to bringing the Okta Identity Cloud to AWS
Marketplace, one additional strategic offering makes Okta more
powerful and effective for enterprises: AWS Control Tower. Through
this new integration with AWS Control Tower, organizations can go
further to optimize identity management with simplified single
sign-on experiences, user provisioning, and password management
that helps to solve multi-cloud access management challenges.
Commenting on the availability of the Okta Identity Cloud and
its products in the AWS Marketplace, Velchamy Sankarlingam,
President of Product and Engineering, Zoom Video Communications,
Inc. said, “Zoom has always strived to bring teams together in a
frictionless and secure video environment, and it’s our ability to
innovate that has enabled us to grow. Working with AWS and Okta
helped us to deliver on our strategic technology initiatives to
meet this goal. We look forward to tighter integrations and a more
robust cooperation that ultimately makes it faster, easier, and
more productive for us to digitally transform.”

AWS Security Competency, AWS Government Competency, and AWS Digital
Workplace Competency designations.
