"Hackers no longer try to hack through a login page. They have moved focus to the post-authentication phase, where they're targeting employees; they're targeting individuals," he said.

  • AI's effect on identity protection;
  • The most significant product investments Okta has made to address security concerns;
  • Lessons learned from Okta's internal security improvements.
