About Okta, Inc.

Okta, Inc. is a United States-based software and cybersecurity company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker OKTA. For investors, Okta is best understood as an identity and access management platform provider, operating at the center of cloud security, digital transformation, and the emerging need to secure AI-driven workflows. The company was founded in 2009 by Todd McKinnon and Frederic Kerrest, and it is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Okta was one of the early pioneers of Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), helping establish the market for modern cloud identity. ([okta.com](https://www.okta.com/company/?utm_source=openai)) Okta’s core business is built around identity solutions for workforce, customer, and increasingly non-human identities such as AI agents, service accounts, and automation tools. Its flagship offerings include the Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, which together cover authentication, authorization, identity governance, lifecycle management, privileged access, and secure application connectivity. The company emphasizes neutrality and interoperability, positioning itself as an independent identity layer that can sit across diverse IT environments rather than being tied to a single cloud ecosystem. That independence is a key competitive differentiator versus broader software suites offered by large infrastructure vendors. ([okta.com](https://www.okta.com/company/?utm_source=openai)) From a market-position perspective, Okta has built strong brand recognition in enterprise identity and serves a broad base of large organizations. The company states that it is trusted by a large share of Fortune 100 companies, as well as thousands of organizations globally, and it operates with offices in 15 countries from its San Francisco headquarters. Its value proposition is centered on secure, scalable access management, ease of deployment, and integration across heterogeneous application stacks. ([okta.com](https://www.okta.com/company/?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments reinforce Okta’s strategic push into AI security and identity fabric capabilities. In 2025, the company introduced Cross App Access to help secure AI agents, expanded capabilities to protect non-human identities, and announced new platform innovations aimed at combatting fraud and enabling standards-first AI agents. Most recently, fiscal 2026 results showed 12% annual revenue growth and improved operating profitability, underscoring continued commercial momentum and a stronger financial profile.
