• Single Sign-On: Oktas web-based single sign-on (SSO) program is used by businesses to provide a centralized interface for accessing third-party systems. It enables employees to gain safe access to popular cloud programs like Gmail, Office 365, Salesforce, and other apps they need to conduct their jobs.

• Multi-Factor Authentication: Okta enables users to log in to many applications via a single centralized process and allows users to enable a second level of security (SMS, Email, Voice, Biometrics, Okta Verify, and so on) for every sign-in or configure policies to only enforce MFA based on location or network.

It makes it easier for employees to use any program or device and is built on a cloud infrastructure that is secure, dependable, and thoroughly audited, and it interfaces deeply with on-premises apps, directories, and identity management systems.
