FGA enables centralized, flexible, fast,
scalable authorization to meet the complex access control needs of
developers
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity
partner, today announced general availability of Fine Grained
Authorization (FGA) to address authorization complexities for
developers. FGA allows developers to design authorization models in
a way that's centralized, flexible, scalable, and easy to use.
With FGA, development teams can spend less time building and
maintaining authorization and more time building and shipping new
products and features. By enabling developers to define
authorization in a way that best fits their business and use cases,
FGA helps increase security and efficiency and gives developers
greater visibility and control than traditional authorization
methods.
“Evolving security and compliance requirements mean managing
authorization ad-hoc is no longer a viable option,” said Shiven
Ramji, President Customer Identity Cloud at Okta. “Okta FGA is the
next generation of authorization solutions and will open up new
market opportunities. We’re committed to giving developers the
tools they need to be efficient and focus on innovation, while
maintaining access control and security.”
Since Okta announced FGA Limited Early Access in late 2023,
customers across industries, from startups to global Fortune 500
companies, have implemented the technology. FGA’s versatility has
enabled businesses to streamline authorization processes, bolster
security, and achieve compliance goals.
Since the limited release, new FGA features include:
- Proven scalability: Developers can manage approximately
100 billion relationships and over 1 million requests per second,
with low latency. Learn more about FGA scalability in our blog
“Getting Unlimited Scalability with Okta Fine Grained
Authorization” (2023).
- Policy flexibility: Built-in support for attribute-based
access control (ABAC) empowering granular access control and secure
collaboration.
- Reliability: FGA is backed by Okta’s industry-leading
99.99% uptime, minimizing disruption
- Developer tooling: FGA includes software development
kits for the most popular languages (.NET, Go, Javascript, Java,
Python); Visual Studio Code integration for editing and validating
FGA models; Command Line Interface to automate operating FGA and
implementing CI/CD; and support for testing FGA models.
Okta FGA sets the standard for what customers should expect from
their authorization solution and will change how applications are
built over the next decade. As Okta continues to lead innovation in
FGA, further enhancements, integrations, and scalability options
are on the horizon, reaffirming the company's commitment to setting
industry standards in authorization-as-a-service solutions.
