Story
Financials work at Goldman Sachs spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Endpoint detection was splitting across regional habits. SOC analysts asked for a shared way to run security operations without freezing local judgment.
Okta (Okta Customer Identity) is what they standardized on. Okta is an identity platform for workforce and customer authentication, single sign-on, and lifecycle management. Goldman Sachs uses it as the system of record for endpoint detection, with SOC analysts as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
