Enterprise Security Magazine: Specials Magazine

Security teams are managing identities, systems and risks than ever. As cloud environments, AI and connected services expand, protecting critical assets has become harder. The challenge is putting security controls in place without making work unnecessarily difficult. In this edition of Enterprise Security Magazine, we look at companies and leaders addressing that challenge from different angles.

Featured on the cover is Okta [NASDAQ: OKTA], recognized as the Top Privileged Access Management Solutions 2026. The company takes a broader view of privileged access, treating it as part of an organization's overall identity strategy. By bringing together identity, authentication, governance and credential controls, Okta gives organizations greater control over their critical resources.

CTI Global, recognized as the Identity and Access Management Services of the Year 2026, focuses on the work that happens before an identity program is implemented. Its AI-driven Identity CoAnalyst helps coordinate stakeholders and document requirements, giving teams a clearer starting point while reducing manual effort.
