Okta, a single sign-on (SSO) and identity and access management (IAM) solutions provider, now enables KPMG Cyber Security Services customers to use the Okta Identity Cloud to design, implement and automate IAM processes.
The companies this week announced a partnership that allows KPMG to provide its customers with enterprise and consumer IAM solutions that protect critical data and streamline employee and consumer data access, according to both companies.
A Closer Look at the Okta-KPMG Partnership
With the Okta-KPMG partnership, KPMG customers can leverage the Okta Identity Cloud to simultaneously manage, control and secure enterprise and consumer access to data and reduce their operating costs.
The partnership also provides KPMG customers with access to the following Okta Identity Cloud capabilities:
- SSO for cloud and on-premises applications.
- Multi-factor authentication.
- Automatic provisioning to create accounts for new employees.
- Ability to embed Okta as the identity layer of an app for customer IAM or customize Okta for any use case.
The Okta Identity Cloud is an integrated cloud identity platform designed for every type of user. It enables organizations to secure and manage their operations and transform their customers' experiences, Okta stated.
