Okta said Tuesday that it’s set to launch a new offering, Okta Device Access, designed to extend the capabilities of its cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) service to enterprise desktops and other devices in hybrid work environments. The application, according to the company, aims to simplify logins while also offering stronger authentification features and achieving a zero trust security environment.
Okta Device Access, deployed as part of Okta’s Workforce Identity Cloud service, will launch with two capabilities: desktop multifactor authentication (MFA) for Windows and macOS; and Desktop Password Sync for macOS.
