Appears in stacks
Real-world stacks that include Okta Workforce Identity Cloud.
50-person SaaS startup
A 50-person SaaS startup with a small, generalist IT/security team (no dedicated SOC), a remote-friendly engineering culture, dozens of third-party SaaS tools in daily use, and a budget that favors managed and freemium options over heavyweight enterprise suites.
Mid-market SOC
A 500-2,000-employee company with a small, dedicated security team of perhaps three to eight people running a real, if lean, security operations function — a mix of in-house analysts and outsourced help, moderate compliance pressure from customers and regulators, and a budget that has to stretch across the whole security program rather than concentrate on one area.
Enterprise defense-in-depth
A multi-thousand-employee enterprise operating across regions, with dedicated security engineering teams, regulatory obligations, and enough staff to run overlapping controls from several vendors.
Cloud-native DevSecOps
An engineering-led technology company running its product entirely on containers, Kubernetes, and public cloud infrastructure, where a small platform or security engineering team embeds controls directly into CI/CD pipelines rather than running a traditional SOC, and developers are expected to fix what their own pipeline flags.
