As noted in the posts below I am working through an assessment of Okta, but I do not have full visibility into the things I would ask or inspect in a full assessment. I do not have visibility into internal Okta development practices, developer permissions, IAM segregation of duties, data access, source control security(!), and network segmentation, support processes and access, for example, other than what is described in their architectural document and the CSA questionnaire which I cover in a post below.

I have no affiliation with Okta, nor am I getting paid — I am paying them for services. I am interested in this product for security architecture reasons and testing out various integrations to determine how to best segregate duties and protect credentials used on cloud platforms. The idea is to centralize authentication and separate it from the cloud platforms themselves, while the cloud platforms provide the authorization for actions taken on the platform. I have been interested in testing this product for for this purpose for while and finally got around to doing it. I do not do free product assessments. If you would like me to assess a product for you, you can hire me through IANS Research or contact me on LinkedIn if you are not an IANS customer.
