Solution will help fulfill ongoing SMS
needs for Okta Identity Engine customers
SAN
FRANCISCO, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- BeyondID, a leading managed identity solutions provider,
today announced the availability of SMS authentication, integration
and managed services for Okta. The company has partnered with
Vonage to provide these services to Okta customers who will no
longer have SMS offered as part of their platform renewals
beginning September 15, 2024.
Okta recently announced they will no longer offer SMS as
two-factor authentication (2FA) within the Okta Identity Engine or
Identity Manager (classic) platforms. All customers renewing on or
after September 15 will be required
to bring their own telecommunications provider to continue with SMS
as a 2FA option for their employees and customers.
"Customers using the Okta platform who wish to continue their
use of SMS as a 2FA authentication option can do so with
BeyondID and Vonage," said Charles Fortune, co-founder and
chief operating officer at BeyondID. "This service helps every Okta
customer offer the most secure experience while maintaining the
best possible user experience, but transitions like this do not
happen overnight. A variety of factors may prevent many
organizations from completely retiring SMS altogether. Our solution
provides an option for companies who need an alternative."
BeyondID offers SMS integration and managed services for
organizations of any size. There are three tiers of SMS services,
all powered by Vonage:
- SMS Gateway – an all-in-one solution managed and supported by
BeyondID, perfect for SMB and mid-sized organizations
- SMS API for Workforce – intended for international enterprise
organizations with the need for higher volume and localized
telephone numbers, hosted on AWS
- SMS API for Consumer – custom solution based on customer
volume, daily average users, session details and load balancing
requirements.
BeyondID recommends getting ahead of renewal deadlines to manage
the setup and testing process before Okta removes this service.
Pricing is based on monthly SMS volume and the level of support
required. More information is available at
