Okta's growth strategy has three parts: sell newer products (Okta Identity Governance, Privileged Access, Identity Threat Protection, Identity Security Posture Management) into its existing base; move up-market, where customers above $1 million in ACV grew more than 20% to over 600 by mid-2026; and extend identity controls to AI agents and non-human identities through product launches and acquisitions such as Axiom Security (2025) and Permiso Security (announced July 2026). It is also handing more implementation work to partners to focus on software revenue.
Okta makes money by selling term subscriptions to its cloud identity services. Workforce identity products such as Single Sign-On, Adaptive MFA, Universal Directory, Lifecycle Management, Okta Identity Governance and Privileged Access are generally priced per user per month and sold on annual or multi-year contracts. Customer identity, sold under the Auth0 brand, is priced mainly by monthly active users and feature tier, from a free developer plan up to custom enterprise contracts. In fiscal 2026, subscription revenue was $2.855 billion of $2.919 billion total; the remainder was professional services, which Okta is deliberately shifting to partners. Growth comes from landing new customers and upselling additional products, with a dollar-based net retention rate of 107% reported for the quarter ended July 31, 2026.
In May 2021, Okta completed the $6.5 billion all-stock acquisition of developer-first identity platform Auth0, uniting the leader in enterprise Workforce Identity (Okta) with the leader in developer Customer Identity (Auth0) to address the entire $80 billion global identity market.
In 2018, Okta acquired ScaleFT, a pioneer in BeyondCorp zero-trust architecture, using ScaleFT's software to build 'Okta Advanced Server Access' and establish continuous contextual device-and-user access verification.
In March 2019, Okta acquired no-code workflow automation startup Azuqua for $52.5 million, integrating its visual drag-and-drop integration builder to create 'Okta Workflows', which allows IT admins to automate complex identity logic without custom coding.
Okta acquired Israel-based Spera Security in 2023 for identity security posture management, which helps customers find misconfigurations, dormant accounts and over-privileged identities. Okta did not disclose the price.
Announced July 30, 2026, the Permiso Security deal adds identity threat detection across human, non-human and AI agent identities in multi-cloud environments. TechCrunch reported the price at about $200 million.
In 2017, prior to its IPO, Okta acquired the technology assets and engineering team of developer identity startup Stormpath, laying the early architectural foundation for the Okta Developer Edition API platform.
Okta Ventures, launched in 2019 with $50 million, invests in early-stage identity, security and privacy startups.
Okta integrates acquired technologies directly into the Okta Identity Cloud while maintaining developer brand independence where appropriate (e.g., maintaining the Auth0 brand for developers while unifying sales, finance, and cloud infrastructure on the backend).
