SailPoint + Okta Combination

Overview

The SailPoint + Okta Combination Course provides a comprehensive understanding of how to integrate identity governance (SailPoint) with cloud identity and access management (Okta) to deliver a complete IAM solution. This course covers Okta fundamentals like user lifecycle management, SSO, and MFA, alongside SailPoint’s capabilities in access certification, policy enforcement, and compliance governance. Learners will gain hands-on experience configuring connectors between the two platforms, automating user provisioning, and managing joiner–mover–leaver workflows. By the end of the course, participants will be able to design and implement secure, compliant, and automated identity lifecycle solutions that leverage the strengths of both SailPoint and Okta.
