BeyondID, a managed identity services provider, has announced that it is helping organizations expedite their upgrades to Okta Identity Engine (OIE) to help them deliver zero trust strategies. With its services, BeyondID is providing a clear upgrade roadmap, including integrating passwordless protection and Okta FastPass.
Okta’s updated OIE platform provides flexibility and scalability, allowing users to keep their digital identity and user experience requirements up to date. The platform provides users with a consistent experience across all platforms and devices, delivering a secure passwordless experience with phishing-resistant authenticators as the basis of zero trust architecture. BeyondID coordinated the upgrade from the Okta Classic Engine to the OIE, integrating apps and tools, increasing adoption rates of new OIE features.
Arun Shrestha, CEO and co-founder of BeyondID, confirmed that a one-size-fits-all solution wouldn’t work in helping companies prepare for platform upgrades. He explained that “organisations want flexibility and consistency across platforms and applications, and it requires an intelligent zero-trust approach to provide a standardised and user-friendly experience.”
Arnab Bose, chief product officer at Okta, added that the company was keen to eliminate passwords because poor password practices and phishing continued to be the leading cause of security incidents. Okta Identity Engine’s passwordless authentication with phishing-resistance factors could put customers on the path towards a passwordless future. Bose said, “our partnership with BeyondID empowers customers to accelerate their OIE deployments and maximise their Okta investment.”
BeyondID is offering implementation support for organizations upgrading to OIE, providing on-demand knowledge and support for customers throughout the process. Customers can set up an on-demand support agreement, determine the level of service required, and begin their migration immediately.
