Cloudworks helps you turn Okta into a practical and scalable part of your identity landscape. We support customers from early advisory and architecture to implementation, integrations and ongoing development.
Why Okta?
A more unified identity setup
Bring users, access and applications together in a more consistent structure, making identity and access easier to manage across the organization.
Less complexity over time
Reduce fragmentation and support a more manageable identity environment, especially in organizations with many systems, user types and changing access needs.
Better support for change
Build a solid foundation for growth, cloud adoption and evolving access requirements, so identity can support change rather than slow it down.
A platform that can grow with the organization
Support identity needs across employees, external users and digital services over time, with an approach that can scale as the organization develops.

How Color Line built secure access across ships and shore

With a hybrid workforce operating across ships, docks, offices and even a hotel, Color Line needed a secure and scalable way to manage users and access. Partnering with Cloudworks, they implemented Okta and built an efficient Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that automates onboarding, enhances compliance, and keeps operations running smoothly.
Cloudworks has demonstrated strong technical capabilities and deep maritime industry expertise, combined with extensive IAM and process experience throughout the project. Their contribution has been essential to achieving a successful implementation in our demanding 24/7 operational environment.

FUNCTIONALITY
Give users a more seamless and secure way to access the applications they need. Single Sign-On helps reduce login friction while making access easier to manage across cloud and on-prem environments.
Create a more consistent identity foundation across directories, HR systems and business applications. Okta helps organizations bring users, groups and attributes together in a more structured way.
Automate identity-related processes without adding unnecessary complexity. Okta Workflows can help streamline routine tasks, reduce manual work and support more consistent identity operations across systems.
Support secure access for partners, suppliers and other external users in a more structured way. Okta can help organizations manage external identities, enable federation and improve visibility across third-party access.
Add stronger protection to access journeys without creating unnecessary friction for users. Adaptive authentication can help balance security and usability based on context, device and risk.
Support a more structured approach to onboarding, role changes and offboarding across users and applications. Okta can help automate access changes and reduce manual effort over time.
Improve control over access to critical systems and sensitive environments. Okta can help reduce reliance on shared accounts, strengthen traceability and support a more modern approach to privileged access.
Create a more consistent approach to securing APIs and managing authorization policies. Okta can help centralize access decisions and reduce complexity across applications and services.
Automate identity processes at scale
Easily create powerful workflows in a no-code environment and tailor identity processes to your specific needs.
Workflows can connect to any public API, can be triggered by a huge variety of events, e.g., self-registration of a user, can be scheduled, and even triggered by any third-party app.
Passwordless authentication
Without passwords, an entire attack vector is eliminated. At a time where the majority of hacking-related breaches use weak or stolen passwords, it’s about time to replace passwords with biometric identifiers and tokens. Besides, passwordless authentication provides a frictionless login experience to your end-users.
