Okta has shed more than $2 billion from its market valuation since the company disclosed a hack of its support systems Friday. Okta is a lesser-known name but forms a critical part of cybersecurity systems at major corporations. Zoom , for example, uses Okta to give "seamless" access through a single login to the company's Google Workspace, ServiceNow , VMware and Workday platforms. At least one of those clients said it had alerted Okta about a potential breach weeks earlier. In a separate post Friday, privately held identity management firm BeyondTrust said it had told Okta's security teams about suspicious activity in BeyondTrust's own Okta systems on Oct. 2.
