Okta and its customers are a major target. Since 2022, a string of attacks hit the identity and access management provider and its customers’ Okta environments.
The pressure on Okta mounted after a September attack struck its support portal, exposing all of Okta’s customer support system clients. It became a striking moment for the company and guided its path forward.
Okta executives paused product development and reallocated staff and resources to make security the company’s top priority.
A series of initiatives Okta CSO David Bradbury shared with Cybersecurity Dive set the scene for what the company must achieve to regain the trust of its customers and the cybersecurity community at large.
