Connect is designed to help both technology and solution partners to
develop expertise around specific business functions, product areas and

“Identity management and security are top priorities for organizations
of every size and industry and Okta technology is used by enterprise
customers to manage identity for their users. Partners are a core part
of Okta’s business, allowing us to reach more customers and enabling
those customers to leverage the Okta Identity Cloud for seamless and

“Disruption from the Internet of Things, cloud and mobility is
challenging traditional enterprise security, enforcing the need for
organizations to build sustainable, risk-centric foundations for
implementing identity access management,” said Bryan Wiese, Global Vice

approached strategically and by evaluating current needs, business
drivers and risks. Partnering with leading technology companies like
Okta enables Optiv to provide holistic solutions that meet our clients’
needs for seamless and secure user experiences, while allowing them to
optimize their IAM programs and minimize long-term risk. We are pleased

further expanding our relationship with Okta as we help clients progress
