#LifeAtOkta

I joined Okta three and a half years ago to launch our APAC operations. Those early discussions at our first Sydney HQ – my kitchen – were focused on the massive opportunity to usher in the next generation of technology, the cloud, which then was only just starting to take off in APAC. We quickly set out to establish ourselves in the technology…

Programmer’s Day is celebrated on the 256th day of the year, and this year, it’s on Wednesday, September 13. This number is important in the binary space, the mathematical foundations that computer science is built on. Computer values are stored in bits, and 8 bits form a byte. With all its binary combinations, a single byte can store amounts from…

At one of our Oktane17 super-sessions, Girls Who Code Founder and CEO Reshma Saujani gave a powerful talk about the need for more women filling technical roles.

My name is Mackenzie and as the Corporate Marketing Intern this summer, I’m here to give you a sneak peek into what it’s like to work at Okta.

Community has always been a critical part of Okta: connecting people is at the heart of not only our product, but also our company culture. Last year we formalized our commitment to connecting with our community by taking the 1% Pledge, allocating our time, product, and equity to give back. A few weeks ago, we made good on that pledge by hosting…

Solving problems is universal at Okta. But solving API problems for both internal teams and customers, across all time zones, earned Keith Casey his somewhat official title of Problem Solver. We were excited to sit down with Keith to learn more about how he enables Okta’s sales engineers and customers to be successful and still finds time to work…

I recently joined Okta as the Executive Director of Okta for Good, our corporate social impact initiative. In my first few weeks, I met with numerous leaders and employees, many of whom asked the same questions: “What makes a successful social impact program? What is Okta’s unique opportunity to do good? And how do we get there?” Although we are…

At Okta we build, design, sell and market products that make people more productive and companies more secure. I joined the product marketing team at Okta a little over two years ago. At that time, we were mostly known for our IT products: single sign-on, provisioning (now lifecycle management), multi-factor authentication (now adaptive MFA), Okta…
