The Authentication API controls user access to Okta.
The OpenID Connect & OAuth 2.0 API controls users access to your applications.
Manage Okta objects
REST endpoints to configure objects whenever you need. For example:
The Apps API is used to manage Apps and their association with Users and Groups.
The Users API is used for CRUD operations on Users.
The Sessions API (opens new window) creates and manages user's authentication sessions.
The Policy API creates and manages settings such as a user's session lifetime.
The Factors API is used to enroll, manage, and verify factors for multi-factor authentication (MFA).

99.99%
Okta is built for high availability and scale and deliver a 99.99% availability for all of our customers. With Okta there is zero planned downtime.
Identity is Always On, and so are we. We built the Okta service for high availability and a guaranteed uptime. https://support.okta.com/help/Documentation/Knowledge_Article/Okta-Support-Service-Level-Agreements-by-Customer-Success-Package - Approach to resilience
- Since we are aiming for billions of users and authentications, in 2014 we rolled out a new platform architecture that will get us to extreme scale. We call this architecture “cells”. A cell is a self-contained instance of the entire Okta service. Any fault in infrastructure is contained within a cell using a High Availability (HA) architecture, and even in case of an entire datacenter going down, another cell in a different geography takes ownership of the affected accounts within an hour.
- Outage reporting
- You can see an updated status of Okta’s availability at all times by going to trust.okta.com. All users will also receive email alerts informing them of the problem, estimated outage time and a further email once fully restored.

Once it passes testing, it is finalized and released to technical operations who perform deployment testing the build. After successful deployment testing, the build is deployed to staging where it will bake in for a week. Once passed, it is put through another deployment test and then installed to production. Further information can be found in Okta's change management standard operating procedures (SOP) document.

Okta conducts continuous internal vulnerability assessment, as well as annual external penetration testing. If a potential vulnerability is identified, it is triaged among the security, engineering, and technical operations teams. Okta's security team employs a risk ranking system for all technical vulnerabilities. The ranking system also accounts for all published risk rankings within the Okta environment. Critical- and high-risk issues are addressed as quickly as possible within the next release cycle or hot patch within the context of business feasibility. Medium-risk issues are addressed within the next four release cycles. Low-risk issues are addressed when possible with feature updates.

Fighting climate change
Okta has a climate strategy, and a renewable electricity program - annually we match our global office and remote workforce electricity consumption with renewable electricity by purchasing renewable electricity certificates (RECs).
Okta is implementing a climate strategy. Okta knew that having a robust climate strategy would be essential to our long-term success to identify principles to guide our work moving forward. Okta’s climate strategy has four pillars. Read more here, here, and here.
Reduce our energy consumption: Focus on impact, starting with where we have direct influence. We’re beginning our journey in the place where we can take immediate action—our offices. Our first aim is to reduce our overall energy consumption.
Electrify: we lease our offices and we are working to reduce the amount of natural gas in our real estate portfolio and move to electricity, which can be covered by renewable electricity.
Purchase renewable electricity: For the energy we still consume, we plan to transition from GHG emitting fossil fuels to renewable energy—like solar and wind. We will start this by purchasing renewable energy certificates (RECs) to match every megawatt-hour of electricity that we consume at our offices and our remote workforce. To maximize environmental and social impact, Okta purchased RECs from the California Bright Schools solar program, which supports renewable energy education and the installation of solar energy in schools across the state.
Engage our value chain on climate. The majority of our emissions are from our value chain/vendors. We want to partner with our vendors to reduce their emissions, and we ask new vendors with climate questions using new vendor forms.
Okta works collaboratively with our internal and external partners. We are partnering with a broad set of stakeholders such as Business Council on Climate Change (BC3) and Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA).Tackling economic inequality
Okta is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As such, we understand the need to build a diverse workforce to continue to fuel innovation and collective growth. At Okta, we prioritize building a balanced team in order to continue to nurture a culture of inclusion and belonging.Equal opportunity
Through Okta for Good, Okta’s social impact arm, we’ve made a $1M commitment over three years for racial justice and equity and workforce development grants. We also formed a Racial Justice and Equity Employee Advisory Board, consisting of leaders from People of Color @ Okta (POC@Okta); the Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging; and Okta for Good teams, to determine where we’ll award these new grants. Additionally, there are specific processes built into our hiring practices to ensure diverse hiring practices. For more information about Okta's commitment to diversity, inclusion and belonging, please see: https://www.okta.com/diversity/Wellbeing
Modern Health, Okta’s employee assistance program (EAP) provider, balances on-demand digital tools with virtual coaching (and therapy, if needed). Employees set up the approach that best meets their needs and covers employee family members, all at no cost.
