"In an announcement, Okta's chief technology officer Abhi Sawant said the addition of Axiom will help solve more use cases through additional security controls and connectors to critical infrastructure resources such as databases and Kubernetes. "Axiom's technology will be integrated into Okta Privileged Access, expanding access controls to more sensitive resources that Okta customers can use to further strengthen their identity security fabric, so they can manage the types of privileged access across resources and use cases in their environment," he explained."
"Post-integration, Okta Privileged Access will equip customers with a wider range of capabilities, including unified control through a single point of administration for privileged access across all privileged resources, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Organizations will also be able to eliminate standing privileges and provide time-limited access thanks to Axiom's Just-In-TIme (JIT) functionality. By automating permissions for elevated access to environments such as GitHub, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, and Amazon EKS, Okta said"
Okta has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Axiom Security to expand its Privileged Access platform with cloud-native, identity-centric PAM capabilities. Axiom, founded in 2021, provides Just-In-Time access, automated request and approval workflows, and user access reviews to eliminate standing privileges and secure critical infrastructure. Terms were not disclosed and the transaction is expected to complete in September, with Axiom features integrated into Okta's PAM offering over the coming months. The combined offering will provide unified administration for privileged access across on-premises and cloud resources, enable time-limited elevated access, and automate permissions for environments such as GitHub, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, and Amazon EKS.
