Okta acquires Permiso Security to boost identity threat detection

Okta has signed an agreement to acquire Permiso Security, a cloud-native identity security platform focusing on threat detection across various identities in multi-cloud environments. This acquisition enhances Okta's capabilities in identity threat detection and response (ITDR) and aims to address security operations challenges in enterprise environments.

The integration of Permiso's technology is expected to unify identity threat detection and posture management, fortifying Okta's position in the security operations center (SOC). The deal is anticipated to close in the third quarter of Okta's fiscal year 2027, with no major financial impact expected.
