Zero Trust

Every company that operates production software has compliance requirements. The vast majority of those organizations also carry significant infrastructure in the cloud and/or on-premises. And they all require a safe way to provide access to their developer workforce. Traditionally, there were two ways to achieve this: building a DIY system to…

Introducing Okta + NetMotion: Future-proof and Secure Remote Access for a Post-COVID World We’ve entered into a new era of identity. As organizations have had to become increasingly flexible in supporting distributed, remote teams, they’ve also had to put an increased focus on security.

First of all, this is not a list of 2021 predictions for security leaders serving in government agencies.

But there’s still a chance to get ahead without investing in all the infrastructure you need at once; once you start the journey, it’s easy to continuously…

Office spaces have always been designed to encourage productivity—and yet, no single desk arrangement has stood the test of time. Back in the 1950s, for example, the assembly lines at Ford inspired organizations to experiment with open floor plans. When that proved ineffective for white-collar workers, cubicles took hold in the late ‘80s and ‘90s…

Businesses operate largely within the boundaries of their office walls, and security networks function under the premise that there are ‘trusted’ internal users, and ‘untrusted’ external ones. Now, as more employees than ever are accessing their corporate resources remotely, with their own devices, this premise…
