Do You Have “Okta” for Your Data?

SaaS platforms exploded in the last few years for excellent reasons: scalability, cost, accessibility, and flexibility. But like any explosion, it left some messes in its wake.

Summary

For IT and security teams, in particular, the increasing number of solutions in use created a seemingly never-ending need to add users, remove users, or change permissions every time someone joined the company, changed roles, changed responsibilities, or left the company altogether. As is often the case, IT and security teams took up the slack managing and maintaining user permissions manually – going into each platform, adding each new user, setting permissions, and doing it repeatedly each time a change occurred. This introduced delay, risk of error, or even users skipping the authorization process altogether.
