Potential access management customers got a new option from Okta Wednesday, as the identity and access management (IAM) provider announced a newly streamlined Consumer Identity Cloud system designed to simplify the deployment and use of its various products.
Okta said that the new cloud program is split into two main components—those aimed at providing identity validation services for consumers, and those aimed at enterprise customers. The former is focused on providing high-security options for online transactions, support for passkeys (instead of passwords, which are thought to be less secure), and providing an all-in-one security center monitoring system for quick response to suspicious activity.
