Okta

Today, we're taking a significant step forward — I'd go so far to call it a "leap" — to enhance the Okta Identity Cloud. We announced our agreement to join forces with Auth0, a leading identity platform for developers.

Auth0 will operate as an independent unit inside of Okta, and both platforms will be supported and invested in. As a result, organizations will have a wider breadth of identity solutions to fit their unique needs. Okta and Auth0s comprehensive, complementary identity platforms are robust enough to serve the worlds largest organizations and flexible enough to address every identity use case, regardless of the audience or user.

Like Microsofts acquisition of GitHub for $7.5B in 2018, Oktas acquisition of Auth0 for $6.5B is a win for developers!

“In addition to the amazing roster of customers that puts their trust in Auth0 and fuels its growth, I was very much struck by the humanity of everyone I met with—a level of empathy that has been a rarity throughout my career,” said Aaron

Yesterday I celebrated 4 years at @auth0... what an amazing ride!

Working here is an absolute dream, and joining forces with @okta is a force multiplier 💪

Here's a🧵with a compilation of my favorite projects - the ones I can talk about in public anyway 😜

  • Okta CEO: Heres where cloud identity management is headed CSO

    CSO: Do you have an opinion on self-sovereign identity?McKinnon: I do. I think that its the future. Weve got to get it done. The problem is: How does it get bootstrapped? How does it get useful in enough places so that enough people use it to make it useful? Where is it going to come from?
