“Every organization in the world depends on technology to accomplish their missions.

With the Okta Identity Cloud, they can do so seamlessly and securely,” said Todd McKinnon, Okta CEO and co-founder. “We look forward to working with industry-leading organizations like JetBlue as they take on their most critical initiatives, and we’re committed to helping each and every one of our customers fulfill their missions faster with technology.”

Technology and innovation are providing us with unique ways to enhance the customer travel experience and engage with our customers in new, highly personalized ways,” said Eash Sundaram, Executive Vice President, Chief Digital & Technology Officer at JetBlue. “Okta will enable us to make our customers’ experience with the TrueBlue program not only more personal, helpful and simple, but secure.”
As of January 31, 2018, more than 4,350 customers across nearly every industry and all over the world use the Okta Identity Cloud to manage and secure their extended enterprise, and transform their customers’ experiences. This growth in Q4 FY2018 included new or expanded deployments with Emirates, Farmers Insurance Group, Fidelity National Financial, Indiana Health Exchange, Intercom, MRI Software, Nasdaq, Post Holdings, Snowflake Computing, Wacom and Workfront. Earlier this year, organizations such as Caesars Entertainment, City of Las Vegas, Nordstrom, Restoration Hardware, Saks Fifth Avenue, State of Arizona and Wyndham Worldwide also initiated or expanded their partnerships with Okta.
Okta’s customer wins come amidst continued FY2018 momentum for the company, including executive hires and promotions, partnerships with ServiceNow and SailPoint, and its placement as a leader in Gartner Inc.’s 2017 Magic Quadrant for Access Management, Worldwide and The Forrester Wave™: Identity-As-A-Service, Q4 2017.
