They have a customer base of thousands, and many are well known, including Experian, 20th Century Fox, LinkedIn, and Adobe.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During their conference with more than 2,000 thought leaders\u00a0in attendance, the vendor unveiled a more streamlined process for users enrolling their devices into MDM, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brianmadden.com\/opinion\/Okta-Oktane-was-this-week-Heres-the-context-news-and-whats-interesting-about-it\" target=\"_blank\">brianmadden.com<\/a>. The new process enables Okta to push a certificate to the enrolled device. The certificate then makes the device secure for the purposes of contextual access policies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They also now offer more options when authenticating a mobile app. The vendor<\/span>\u00a0supports SSO in about\u00a0150 apps.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okta has placed a lot of effort in making Android for Work device management more simple, given that a Google account is required for every user. So with their provisioning integrations, identity platform, and EMM platform combined, the accounts are created and managed automatically, creating an easy solution to the initial problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another update that came out of the conference:\u00a0support\u00a0for the Apple Device Enrollment Program may still be in the development stage, it should be here by early 2017.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The vendor also announced a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.okta.com\/press-room\/press-releases\/okta-and-google-expand-partnership-to-help-large-enterprises-accelerate-their-digital-transformation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Google Apps partnership<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, making them a \u201cpreferred partner.\u201d The<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> two companies plan to work with enterprises to help accelerate their transition to a secure, mobile-centric architecture, according to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okta.com\/press-room\/press-releases\/okta-and-google-expand-partnership-to-help-large-enterprises-accelerate-their-digital-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\">release<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information on Mobile Device Management, download our latest MDM Buyer\u2019s Guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"speedbump-1\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"MDM Buyer's Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/files\/2019\/02\/mobility-bg-speedbump.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to MDM Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Identity Access and Mobile Device Management\u00a0vendor Okta hosted their Oktane conference this past week in Las Vegas, and revealed several new features that were added to their MDM\u00a0solutions; plus a partnership with Google Apps.
