Device Access Group
Device Access Group is a new engineering team with a vision to secure customers’ devices and build the most secure and delightful identity experience in the platform. We bring Okta’s MFA to customers’ first vulnerable touchpoint—the desktop login. We let customers define the security policy that helps keep their devices safe and compliant. Once logged in, we let users access their resources in the browser or through a native application without any additional authentication. We introduce and enhance an identity-centric approach for the entire device experience where a user goes through privilege escalation or logs in remotely.
