Role
Who you are
- At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences
- We are looking for an individual with creative ideas about how to maximise the value of threat data and finished intelligence product for the benefit of customers and the broader community
- The successful candidate requires strong analytical, communication and interpersonal skills, as well as cyber domain knowledge. The candidate will need a demonstrable ability to identify trends in adversarial activity and to educate the community in ways that compel action
- You lead by example and influence. The most creative and technically gifted people in the room want to work with you and for you
- You’re a team player
- You have great communications skills and boundless curiosity
- You understand the motivations of malicious actors and how they seek to target and compromise modern zero trust environments and platforms and cloud environments
- You are excited at the prospect of driving security best practices in a company that protects millions of users’ online lives every day
- You have a demonstrated ability to evaluate risk and work to tight deadlines
- A degree in a relevant field would be beneficial but is not strictly required. We value real-world experience and demonstrable skills and influence in the cyber domain
- Evidence of strong written communication, presentation skills and data analysis skills (SQL-based queries)
- Ability to handle sensitive information with a high degree of integrity and discretion
What the job involves
- Okta Threat Intelligence is the capability within Okta that delivers timely insights to customers that are both highly relevant and actionable, and that contribute to public conversations about the threat environment
- Our vision for Okta Threat Intelligence is to drive further confidence in Okta’s best-in-class security capabilities. It’s also about demonstrating to the world that Okta is much more than an SSO or MFA provider: it’s a company with an expanding range of Okta security products relevant to every security team
- Okta now has a greenfield opportunity for an experienced and highly motivated individual to coordinate the unique security capabilities across Okta teams in service of these goals
- Gather intelligence requirements from multiple stakeholder groups
- Collaborate with product engineering and security teams to anonymize, aggregate and derive insights from platform data
- Work with security teams in data analysis and production of intelligence assets
- Develop creative methods of making insights accessible and actionable for customers and partners
- Coordinate the distribution of finished intelligence products to customers, partners and the broader community
- Measure the impact of intelligence and analysis products on customer adoption and secure configuration
Our take
Okta started off as an identity company where organisations, large and small, could tap into the company to have a single sign-on interface to access all cloud applications now centralised. Okta has since expanded to provide identity management at the device as well as the server level.
The new approach towards network security is increasingly based on identification and authentication, and Okta is on track to become the go-to vendor in the space. They aim to do so by developing products that enable people to access applications and other tools more smoothly and securely than ever before.
Okta has taken strides towards expansion through significant employee growth and shuffling executive leadership. The company has also made lateral moves such as tackling governance concerns, opening up new paths for revenue.
