The Okta Security team’s mission is to strengthen Okta’s position as the leading Identity-as-a-Service solution through identifying and resolving risks to the employees, product, and most importantly, our customers.

The Customer Trust team is the voice of Okta Security both externally and internally. It's our role to influence how the Okta security brand is perceived and to shape the security culture of the company.
