IAM Redefined: How Okta Is Leading the Charge in Identity Security

IAM Redefined: How Okta Is Leading the Charge in Identity Security

Summary

Identity has become the new security perimeter—and attackers know it. That’s why modern enterprises are shifting their focus from managing identities to actively protecting them. In our recent Alchemy In The Lab webinar, we partnered with Okta and featured identity expert Pascal Pierre-Louis to explore this evolving landscape and how organizations can stay ahead.

If you missed the live session, the recording is now available on demand. But before you hit play, here are the key insights and takeaways that make this webinar worth your time.

The Problem with Traditional IAM

Most organizations have some form of identity and access management. But that’s no longer enough. Identity misconfigurations, admin sprawl, MFA bypasses, and stale access quietly create risk across cloud and SaaS environments. Traditional tools don’t catch these issues until it’s too late.

This is where Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) and Identity Threat Protection (ITP) come into play. These aren’t just new acronyms—they’re critical capabilities that Okta delivers to help enterprises strengthen their identity layer.

What You’ll Learn in the Webinar

Pascal Pierre-Louis and the Okta team walked through how ISPM continuously evaluates identity configurations across your environment. You’ll see how it helps identify risky permissions, inactive accounts, and policy violations before they become problematic.

The session also explains how ITP uses AI to detect abnormal behavior in real time and trigger automated responses. Think of it as a 24/7 identity SOC—an always-on layer of protection that works across your entire security stack. This conversation delivers real answers if you’re struggling with identity risk, audit complexity, or IAM tool sprawl.

Why This Matters Right Now

Cybercriminals are no longer brute forcing their way in. They’re logging in with valid credentials and exploiting gaps between tools, users, and policies. Without real-time visibility and automation, identity becomes your weakest link.
