FEATURE IDENTITY SECURITY
Okta is using AI to help customers spot risky access sooner, reduce manual investigation and tighten governance without slowing the business down.
transparent, be auditable and respect local requirements. Partners who can document data flows, implement strong oversight, and design for local governance needs will stand out.
How is Okta helping partners address non-human identities, and why is this critical in digitally transforming Gulf economies?
A lot of organisations still think‘ identity’ means employees. But in modern environments especially with automation and AI there are more non-human identities than human ones: APIs, service accounts, workloads, bots and AI agents.
And here’ s the issue: these identities often have broad access and don’ t get reviewed the way people do. That’ s why they’ ve become such an attractive target.
In the GCC Digital Transformation smart services, platforms, critical infrastructure, those non-human identities, are everywhere. So bringing them under consistent policy, ownership and monitoring becomes a boardlevel conversation, not just an IT detail.
What investments is Okta making to equip partners in the Middle East with skills, certifications and tools to deliver AI-enhanced identity security?
Partners tell us they don’ t just need product training they need repeatable ways to deliver outcomes. So the focus is on skills, certifications and practical playbooks that help partners package services customers will actually buy.
