What is Okta?

OKTA gives you the ability to Single Sign-On (SSO) to multiple applications such as Office 365, Zoom, and BOX, etc.  What that means to you is no more multiple passwords for different applications, and our data will be more secure by leveraging SAML 2.0 security protocol.   For more information about Okta, please watch this short video: https://www.okta.com/intro-to-okta/

Benefits of SSO

1. Single Sign-On helps end-users
   • One login for multiple applications (O365, Box, Crooze, Zoom, Veeva, SAP, Concur, DocuSign, etc); no more multiple passwords!!!
   • User can reset their own password
2. Single Sign-On helps IT Administrators
   • Ease of user provisioning and de-provisioning for multiple applications
   • No more resetting passwords or login issues.
3. Increase Security
   • Ensure there is one complex password with MFA
   • Can’t hack into individual sites (since it will be redirected to SSO).
4. Single Sign-On helps with compliance
   • Helps organizations governed by HIPAA, SOX, CFR, etc increase control over user’s access.
   • Enforce password change policies
