Okta and Okta (Auth0) Both Named as Leaders in 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Access Management

SINGAPORE – Media
OutReach – 9 November 2021 – Okta,
Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity provider, today
announced that it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic
Quadrant for Access Management, for both Okta and Auth0 (which Okta acquired in
May
2021). This marks the fifth consecutive year in which Okta has been named
Leader, and the first for Okta (Auth0). A complimentary version of the full
report can be found here.

Gartner’s view of the market is focused on
transformational technologies or approaches delivering on the future needs of
end users. The access management (AM) market is defined by customers’ needs to
establish, enforce, and manage run-time access controls for internal and
external types of identities, interacting with cloud, modern standards-based
web and legacy web applications. The report evaluated 12 vendors on 15 criteria
and placed both Okta and Okta (Auth0) in the Leaders Quadrant.

Okta and Auth0 together provide the breadth
of modern Workforce and Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM)
solutions needed to seamlessly manage the digital complexities of security,
agility, and user experience. The Okta Identity Cloud and the Auth0 Identity
Platform deliver the identity solutions that are built for customer choice,
connecting best-of-breed technology for seamless integration into any
ecosystem; addressing compliance and regulatory requirements; and empowering
users with secure and frictionless experiences. Any development style (no-code,
low-code, to pro-code) and deployment choice (multi-tenant cloud or a dedicated
tenant) is satisfied with the extensibility and breadth that Okta and Auth0
offer.

“This dual recognition from Gartner is
an honor, and one that I believe is a testament to the individual leadership of
our complementary platforms and the incredible value that we offer
together,” said Todd McKinnon, CEO and co-founder, Okta. “Companies
that proactively build an identity-first architecture and prioritize identity
as the foundation to all digital experiences will have the competitive edge.
The breadth of technology across both Okta’s and Auth0’s platforms provide
industry-leading execution and innovation for driving secure and seamless
digital experiences.”

“Becoming part of Okta was a
transformational milestone for both companies, as well as the identity industry
as a whole,” said Eugenio Pace, CEO and co-founder, Auth0. “We are
just scratching the surface of the breadth of use cases we can solve together.
We are grateful for the recognition of Okta (Auth0) as a Leader from Gartner.
We will continue to innovate our modern identity platform to satisfy the many
complex identity needs of our customers.”

Okta recently featured Auth0 and the future
plans as a combined company at its annual Showcase event, which was held
virtually on October 13. The rich content from the event, including commentary
