"While any incoming business leader will naturally seek to put their own stamp on the company, in Bradbury's case, his time at Okta was partly defined for him by a series of high-profile incidents - one of them directly targeting the company's own products and services - that elevated Okta from a name known only to cyber professionals to one at the centre of major breaking national news stories."
"The most immediate result of the October 2023 breach of Okta's helpdesk case management systems - which led to the theft of data including customer service logs and support requests, and saw the company criticised by annoyed customers - was an unprecedented 90-day suspension of all new development work at Okta to give it time to work the problem without distraction."
"The most tangible long-term result was the creation of the Okta Secure Identity Commitment (SIC), a long-term plan for cyber improvement. The four core pillars of this pledge are to provide market-leading identity products and services; champion customer best practice in all things identity; elevate the industry to be better protected against cyber attacks; and to harden its own corporate infrastructure."
Okta's in-house cyber security team includes many Australians who greet each other with "g'day, mate" at conferences. David Bradbury serves as Okta chief security officer and lives in San Francisco. Bradbury joined Okta in 2020 from Symantec after security roles at Australia's Commonwealth Bank and the National Broadband Network company. A series of high-profile incidents elevated Okta into national news, including an October 2023 breach of helpdesk case management systems that led to stolen customer service logs and support requests. Okta paused new development for 90 days and created the Okta Secure Identity Commitment with four pillars focused on products, customer best practice, industry protection, and corporate hardening.
