Dragan Vladicic, Senior Manager, Solutions Engineer, Asia Pacific, Okta

This Okta roundtable session with Dragan revolved around the subject of “hybrid state” under which many organizations are operating their IT environment these days.

Keypoints discussed:

  • How can security and IT teams provide employees with a seamless, yet secure, experience as they need to access both SaaS and on-premises applications
  • How can organizations leverage a cloud-first approach to better manage their applications as well as identity and access management (IAM)
  • What are the best ways for organizations to leverage newer technologies to help scale their infrastructure to meet customer needs
