(NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent provider of identity for the enterprise, today at Oktane20 Live announced new strategic partnerships with leading endpoint protection and management providers VMware Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, and Tanium. The new integration partnerships provide a broad set of device risk signals to the Okta Identity Cloud, enabling enterprises to combine endpoint risk detection with user identity to deliver unparalleled access security. Made possible through the new Okta Verify application and the Okta Devices Platform Service, these integrations pave the way to enhanced risk analysis and access decisions in a Zero Trust environment.\n\n\n“It’s clear that securing the modern enterprise involves thinking beyond the perimeter and recognizing the ways people work today,” said Todd McKinnon, Chief Executive Officer, Okta. “Okta wants to enable anyone to use any technology, and to do so securely. Our new partnerships with endpoint security leaders like VMware Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, and Tanium open the door to really innovative ways to deliver on the promise of Zero Trust security. By feeding device risk signals into the Okta Identity Cloud, we’re able to drive truly comprehensive risk analysis that combines deep device insights with Okta’s user-centric insights, ultimately delivering more secure outcomes for our customers.”\n\n\nNew partnerships with VMware Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, and Tanium augment Okta’s existing endpoint management integrations to provide enterprise security teams more device context than ever before when creating access and authentication policies. The new Okta Verify application is built for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Android, and Windows to embed Okta on every device. This enables Okta to collect risk signals from devices themselves as well as endpoint protection and management partners. This is made possible through the recently introduced Okta Devices Platform Service, which enables standardized integration capabilities. Okta’s agnostic approach to endpoint protection and management integration will be used to expand the roster of supported endpoint protection and management vendors.\n\n\nRelying on...
