Mobility management
Okta is a mobility management system that puts user identities at the centre, securing mobile access while ensuring a positive user experience.
Okta allows you to define access policies based on a user's identity and a device's status. It providing centralized control of how and when users can access enterprise resources and lets you shut down access from unauthorized devices.
As Okta is a core identity provider, the system can act on known user attributes and contextual data to restrict access from end-points that don't meet an organization's security requirements. This provides an advantage over traditional enterprise mobility management (EMM) solutions, which depend on proprietary SDKs or complex on-prem gateways to provide conditional access.
