Deloitte signs Asia Pacific-wide alliance with IAM platform Okta
Deloitte has announced a strategic alliance with Okta, a leading provider of identity management solutions. The alliance covers the Asia Pacific region.
By combining Deloitte’s cyber, identity and business transformation expertise with Okta’s identity and access management (IAM) platform, the alliance will help organisations integrate identity more effectively into broader transformation, security and AI initiatives, while improving access management and oversight across increasingly complex environments.
The alliance will focus on highly regulated and complex industries including financial services, government, healthcare and other sectors undergoing large-scale digital transformation.
“Identity now sits at the intersection of security, customer experience, regulatory compliance and AI governance. Working with Okta enables us to help organisations modernise identity as part of broader transformation programs while establishing a stronger foundation for future growth and innovation,” said Liz Douglass, partner at Deloitte.
Douglass noted that the identity landscape is being re-written by the rapid rise of AI and AI agents, which is changing who and what needs access to enterprise systems. “As AI agents and other non-human identities take on more tasks and connect to more applications and data, organisations need greater visibility over what has access, what it can do and how that access is governed.”
Dan Mountstephen, Senior Vice President at Okta, added: “As AI agents connect to more systems and data, organisations need greater visibility and control over what they can access and how they operate. This is forcing them to rethink traditional approaches to identity and security.”
“Point solutions designed for individual security challenges are no longer enough. Securing AI requires identity, security, governance and border business transformation to come together. That’s why our partnership with Deloitte is important. Together, we can help organisations build stronger security foundations for adopting AI safely and at scale.”
