First impressions last. This is perhaps the most true when it comes to accessing online services. As an organization, you only have one chance to get it right. Flinders University in South Australia recently moved to Okta, streamlining their student activation process, and enabling rapid onboarding of 6000+ commencing students per annum. Using the same approach, the university was able to migrate its 38,000+ users to Okta with 0.1% support calls. Against the backdrop of these improvements, this presentation explores how Flinders University built a successful custom activation and migration approach using Okta APIs.

Breaches happen because most organizations treat identity management as a “necessary evil” rather than a fundamental, core enabler of an effective security program. Today, security organizations spend the majority of their time and energy preventing, detecting, and responding to intrusions. No matter how the intrusion begins, identity compromise and privilege escalation is a key factor. What if you could reduce the time to detect and mitigate intrusions through intelligent correlation and an integrated control framework? In this session, former CISO and Optiv Executive Director Wayne Hilt explains why an identity-centric approach to security should be top of mind for all CISOs and security organizations, and see it in action with Okta’s Stephen Lee and Optiv technology partners CyberArk, LogRhythm, and Netskope.
