What is Okta?

Okta is a cloud-based identity and access management platform that centralizes user authentication and authorization across all applications and systems. It acts as a secure, unified control center where organizations can manage employee access to thousands of applications through single sign-on (SSO) while enforcing multi-factor authentication policies. For example, when a healthcare system with 50,000 staff members uses Okta, clinicians can securely access patient records, billing systems, and scheduling tools with one set of credentials, while IT teams can instantly revoke access across all systems when staff members leave - reducing security risks and saving thousands of hours in access management tasks.

Why is Okta better on Shakudo?

Shakudo's operating system architecture enables seamless integration with Okta's identity management services, providing enterprise-grade authentication across all AI and data tools deployed in your infrastructure. The integration leverages Okta's cloud-based IAM capabilities while maintaining security within your VPC, allowing unified access control and single sign-on functionality that extends automatically to any new tools or applications you deploy through Shakudo.

While traditional Okta implementations require significant DevOps resources to configure and maintain integrations across multiple tools and environments, Shakudo's platform automatically handles the entire authentication infrastructure. This means your team can focus on building AI solutions instead of spending weeks configuring identity management for each new tool.

Most importantly, as your organization's AI and data infrastructure evolves, Shakudo's native integration with Okta adapts automatically - whether you're adding new machine learning frameworks, switching between different notebook environments, or scaling up your data processing capabilities. The platform's unified authentication layer means you maintain enterprise security standards without the traditional overhead of managing multiple disparate systems and access controls.
