The on-premises infrastructure of today has proven to be rigid and inflexible in an era that requires rapid innovation and scalability to meet new market demands and opportunities. Cloud infrastructure has become the choice of DevOps teams streamlining the delivery of software and driving continuous innovation in today’s remote and digital-first technology landscape. But with increased pace of innovation and constant access comes concerns for security and compliance, where cloud infrastructure resources must have centralized access controls. DevOps and product teams building and scaling digital projects need to drive secure, compliant, development velocity that can dynamically grow with user demand.
“Digital customer projects have been dramatically accelerated, and those builds start with infrastructure,” said Todd McKinnon, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, Okta. “Okta Advanced Server Access’s centralized, Zero Trust identity approach equates to speed for the DevOps teams tasked with building customer-facing projects. Ultimately, Okta Advanced Server Access makes it faster and more secure to build from anywhere with identity and access management at the heart of infrastructure access. We’re pushing that platform-centric vision for Okta Advanced Server Access further through new features and integrations that meet today and tomorrow’s scalability, security, and compliance needs.”

Okta Advanced Server Access advancements start with meeting scalability demands and expand to finer grained access, automation, and compliance to help organizations securely drive rapid innovation. The new certified HashiCorp Terraform Provider offers the ability to seamlessly integrate identity and access management functions directly into existing “Infrastructure as Code,” enabling DevOps teams to automate new server creation with identity baked in. Further automation is drawn directly from the power of the Okta Identity Cloud through the new Okta Workflows connector for Advanced Server Access that ties server access to other notification or ticketing events, eliminating manual processes and driving efficiency.
Additional security innovations, PolicySync and Session Capture, push a Zero Trust philosophy deeper into cloud infrastructure. PolicySync saves time while keeping security high across dynamic fleets of servers through access policy synchronization with existing Amazon Web Services and GitHub Projects. Session Capture builds on Advanced Server Access compliance capabilities by moving beyond access logs to capture Linux Server SSH traffic at the command-level, delivering logs to an encrypted secure location within an organization’s corporate network for further inspection.
“Educators and students all over the world depend on McGraw Hill’s learning solutions for their educational experiences,” said Joe Turbett, Chief Enterprise Architect, McGraw Hill. “Education has never been more dependent on technology than it is today, and we are delivering exceptional digital products to meet this moment. Okta Advanced Server Access enables us to deliver secure access to thousands of servers from anywhere on the globe, meeting the rising demand for our solutions, all while remaining compliant.”
