SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent Identity partner, today announced that it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management for the eighth consecutive year. A complimentary version of the full report can be found here.
Gartner defines access management (AM) as tools that include authentication and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, and that establish, manage and enforce runtime access controls for modern standards-based and classic web applications and APIs. The report evaluated 10 vendors on 15 criteria and placed Okta in the Leaders Quadrant.
“The stakes have never been higher for identity, and being recognized by Gartner for another year is a testament to our commitment to securing identity for our 19,450 customers,” said Todd McKinnon, CEO and Co-Founder, Okta. “As the entry point to companies' infrastructure and consumers' most important data, identity is a critical pillar of security, and we value Gartner insights that help the industry in the fight against identity-based attacks.”
