SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 17 November 2021 - Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), a leading independent provider of identity for the enterprise, today announced the availability of the Okta Identity Cloud and its products in AWS Marketplace in the Asia Pacific region.

AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalogue that makes it easy for organisations to discover, procure, entitle, provision, and govern third-party software. Businesses across APAC are now able to quickly and seamlessly purchase both Okta's Customer Identity and Workforce Identity products in AWS Marketplace, while benefiting from integrations that take advantage of both Okta and AWS, including AWS Control Tower, a service that provides the easiest way to set up and govern a secure, multi-account AWS environment.

AWS Control Tower makes Okta more powerful and effective for enterprises. Through this new integration with AWS Control Tower, organisations can further optimise identity management with simplified single sign-on experiences, user provisioning and password management to streamline multi-cloud access management.

Cloud migration is a top imperative for the world's largest organisations. Businesses migrating to the cloud need to provide rapid connectivity and security for employees and customers as dynamic working practices become the norm. Identity for the enterprise plays a critical role in helping organisations securely and efficiently run their businesses in the cloud, enabling seamless access for employees while maintaining visibility and control over sensitive data and information. With AWS, Okta can help streamline enterprises' identity strategy and software development approach, supporting businesses as they accelerate digital transformation.
