Todd McKinnon and Frederic Kerrest, both Salesforce alumni, started the company in 2009 as Saasure before rebranding to Okta in 2010. From its San Francisco base, the firm built workforce identity products (single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, lifecycle management) and went public on Nasdaq in April 2017. Acquiring Auth0 for $6.5 billion in 2021 added customer identity and developer-focused authentication. A 2022 LAPSUS$ intrusion through a third-party support contractor pushed Okta to tighten vendor controls. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $2.92 billion across roughly 18,000 customers.
