We’re bridging the Web2 and Web3 worlds with new integrations from our partners

Over the past few months, the [Auth0 Lab](https://lab.auth0.com/) team has researched the [Web3 space](https://auth0.com/blog/identity-and-web3/) and its relation to identity, with a main focus on developer building blocks. From that research, we realized we could play a role in **bridging the Web2 and Web3 worlds.**

What do we mean by bridging? In short, making it easy for developers to create applications that take advantage of constructs from each world as necessary through the help of [Web3 partners and their integrations](https://auth0.com/developers/lab/web3). We think we are well positioned to do this, as "software identity" can serve as that bridge.** **

We took a step toward that goal with the introduction of the [Web3 category in the Marketplace](https://marketplace.auth0.com/categories/web3). This new category will help you seamlessly leverage Web3 constructs when building your applications. In this post, we’ll explore the tools we’ve made available and give you a brief overview of our analysis of Web3 and decentralized technologies at large.

## Why Web3?

Let’s start by defining what we mean by Web3. We don't mean cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance. Those are specific _applications_ of Web3.

To us, Web3 includes the philosophies, concepts, and technologies that prioritize user [choice](https://www.notboring.co/p/the-web3-debate?s=r) and [ownership](https://future.a16z.com/why-web3-matters/) and that one can use to build decentralized services. [Blockchains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain), tokens (fungible or non-fungible), protocols, services, [dApps](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/dapps/), and [users' keys](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/accounts/#externally-owned-accounts-and-key-pairs) are some (but not all) of the elements that make up Web3.

At its core, Web3 is about user choice. As Packy McCormick, founder of NotBoring,[ put it](https://www.notboring.co/p/the-web3-debate):

_“Some people will want centralized services, some will want fully decentralized ones, and many will choose points on the spectrum in between that work for them at different times and for different things. And we're arguing that Web3 gives them that choice.”_

From our research, we believe Web3 can help application builders provide personalized user experiences and satisfy privacy and compliance use cases. But for the space to really take off, it needs to deliver a strong user experience and protect customer data and assets. 

Countless companies rely on the Okta Customer Identity Cloud to help them meet their UX and security goals. We are excited to bring our capabilities to developers and companies looking to leverage Web3 constructs in the identity space, and the Web3 Marketplace category is our first step toward that goal.

## A New Set of Building Blocks for Identity

Web3 constructs introduce a set of new "decentralized identity" building blocks. With them, users can own their credentials and choose what data they share and what remains private.

Let's go over those building blocks in detail.

**Private keys as credentials.** Users’ private keys can act as credentials to authenticate with services, providing passwordless login user experiences. 

For example, [Sign-in with Ethereum](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4361) (SIWE) provides sign-in functionality for Ethereum accounts. More generally, [Decentralized Identifiers](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/) (DIDs), a recently approved w3c (World Wide Web Consortium) open web standard, propose identifiers based on asymmetric cryptography and owned by users. Methods like [did:pkh](https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-pkh) or [did:ethr](https://github.com/uport-project/ethr-did) implement DIDs using addresses/keys from decentralized networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc. You can watch [this video](https://twitter.com/Auth0Lab/status/1501984414267490311?s=20&t=7ig8XYs2PR9gPBCfr8fUMg) on how we used SIWE in a sample app.

**Public, human-friendly usernames.** These can be implemented by associating friendly names, like jane.eth or gary.wallet, to blockchain addresses via smart contracts. These usernames would act both as a user-friendly way to refer to blockchain addresses and as a single username across all applications that rely on the account's private key for authentication.

**Public User Profiles.** These can be implemented using the aforementioned smart contracts to map attributes (besides usernames) to a blockchain address. Some users might publicly share an avatar/profile picture, email address, or other personal details. 

Applications can then use these profiles to provide personalized experiences to users without requiring the creation of application-specific profiles. Watch [this video](https://twitter.com/Auth0Lab/status/1501984444500033542?s=20&t=7ig8XYs2PR9gPBCfr8fUMg) on how we used public user profiles and usernames in a sample app.

**Public Attestations.** These can be implemented using either non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for "ownership attestations" or "soulbound tokens" (SBTs) for non-transferable attestations. 

[Token gating](https://medium.com/@jshanks21/nft-meaning-token-gating-ad83aef7cccd), where access to specific features is allowed only if a user owns a token on a blockchain, is an example of how these could be used. Shopify is working on [tokengated commerce](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/digital-service-product/nfts#tokengated-commerce). You can watch [this video](https://twitter.com/Auth0Lab/status/1501984507481792519?s=20&t=7ig8XYs2PR9gPBCfr8fUMg) on how we used NFTs for token gating in a sample app.

**Private User Data**. This data is associated with a user's identifier (this works with and without DIDs), and **Privacy-Preserving Attestations** can be implemented using [Verifiable Credentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/) (VCs) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). 

**Verifiable Credentials**, cryptographically verifiable digital credentials, can be obtained and stored on a user's phone app (called "wallet", adding to the confusion around the term). 

Later, users can present them (the entire credential or some of its attributes) wherever they want. A benefit of these Verifiable Credentials is that issuers don't need to know where credentials are presented. You can watch [this video](https://twitter.com/Auth0Lab/status/1501984570136272900?s=20&t=7ig8XYs2PR9gPBCfr8fUMg) on how we used Verifiable Credentials to help prove a user's age in a sample app.

## Introducing the Web3 Category in Our Marketplace

The Marketplace allows developers to explore and install integrations for various use cases into their identity infrastructure. With a single click, you can add support for Identity Proofing, implement risk-based MFA, or send application activity to your logging infrastructure, among other things. 

Web3 is built on open standards and composable building blocks, giving developers flexibility in how they design and architect their applications. We want to provide that same composability and extensibility. That's why we’ve partnered with leading Web3 organizations that are building developer tooling to launch the Web3 category on the Marketplace.

![web3 and blockain](https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/5hBxjlnYRZDGmNqTnLrfBm/a3ea21e3252993f9dbe0a5cbf6cfa8db/01_web3_and_blockain.png)

### Use Cases

As we started working with Web3 organizations to build integrations for Okta, we discovered integrations typically fit into one of three use cases:

* **Logging in with a Web3 account/private key**: Authenticating to an application as the owner of a particular blockchain address or private key. This provides a passwordless login experience to users that allows them to own their identity without involving third parties like social login providers.
* **Creating a Web3 wallet for a user:** Allows creating and associating a wallet (custodial or non-custodial) to an Okta user that logged in with any Okta connection (social, enterprise, database, etc.). This is a model similar to that of centralized exchanges and some gaming platforms. They use it because it does not require users to have a wallet before signing up, so users don't drop out because of that requirement during the signup process.
* **Use Web3 public constructs for app logic:** Once a user's blockchain accounts are identified, developers can use it within their applications. Potential scenarios include: displaying profile information, listing a user's NFTs, and gating access to content based on NFT ownership.

_We expect that as we learn more and Web3 constructs evolve, the previous three categories/use cases might change. For example, a new use case for reading and writing private data might be available in the future once we have integrations supporting those features in our Marketplace._

### Available Integrations

#### Use case: Logging in with a Web3 account/private key

**[Sign-in with Ethereum](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/siwe) (by [Spruce](https://www.spruceid.com/)):** Sign-in with Ethereum enables users to log in with their Ethereum account instead of relying on a traditional intermediary (e.g., social login). 

Spruce builds decentralized identity developer tooling. They are also developing a self-sovereign user data storage solution for Web3 users and organizations. Self-sovereign user data storage means that it relies on open standards and the user’s keys for security, allowing users to control where they store their personal data and who they share it with.

**[Sign-in with Unstoppable Domains](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/unstoppable-domains) (by [Unstoppable Domains](https://unstoppabledomains.com/)):** Unstoppable Domains allows Web3 users to access apps using their portable digital identity. This integration will allow your users to sign in by proving they own a specific domain from Unstoppable Domains. 

That proof is performed by having the user sign a message with the private key that is associated with the address on which the domain is registered and verifying the message's signature. Your app will be able to access profile information associated with the user's domain, such as wallet address, email, profile picture, social profile, and more.

**[Dock Web3 ID](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/dock-web-3-id) (by [Dock](https://www.dock.io/)):** Decentralized Identifiers are identifiers defined in a w3c recommendation. They allow a party (for example, a user) to prove control over them without requiring permission from any other party (for example, a company). For example, to authenticate using a specific DID, a user can sign a payload with a private key that the DID expresses should be used for authentication. 

Then, another party can verify that the signature corresponds to the specific DID. This integration allows your users to sign in by proving ownership of the authentication key of a Decentralized Identifier (DIDs).

#### Use case: Creating a Web3 wallet for a user

**[Non-custodial Web3 Wallets](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/web3auth) (by [Web3Auth](https://web3auth.io/)):** The Web3Auth integration allows you to create and associate a non-custodial wallet to any Okta user, regardless of how they logged in.

#### Use case: Use Web3 public constructs for app logic

**[ENS Profile](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/ens-profile) (by Auth0 Lab):** The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) integration lets you integrate ENS profile data into your application. You can leverage and display user-picked usernames, avatars, and other pieces of their public profile without requiring users to create them for your specific application.

**[NFT Retrieval](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/auth-0-inc-fetch-nfts) (by Auth0 Lab):** The NFT Retrieval integration allows you to retrieve NFTs from a set of contract addresses and add them to ID Tokens as claims. With this, you can use the user's NFTs in your application's logic. 

> _Today, the NFT extensions assume you also use the [Sign-in with Ethereum](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/siwe) integration to get the user's Ethereum address. In the future, we hope to work with partners to standardize claim names. Standardization should allow integrations to read/write users' blockchain accounts from/to a single claim, improving interoperability between integrations._


## What's Next

Launching the Web3 category is our first step to making it easy for developers to build applications using constructs from the Web3 world.

If you are a developer or company exploring integrations with Web3 technologies, we encourage you to [explore these integrations](https://auth0.com/developers/lab/web3) and take them for a spin. It should take minutes to enable Web3 capabilities for new or existing Web2 apps. 

If you are a Web3 organization creating products for other developers, consider building an Okta Customer Identity Cloud integration. Countless developers and businesses use Okta Customer Identity Cloud to manage identity at scale. By building an integration, you can reach hundreds of potential new customers and users. We explain how the integration development process works at [https://auth0.com/integrate](https://auth0.com/integrate).

New partnerships aim to bring secure customer identity to the platforms developers use every day in one click, or less

Almost a decade ago, _The New Kingmakers_ made reference to the rise of a developer class that would fundamentally reshape technology decision-making. Today, two-thirds of professional developers have a voice when their organizations are purchasing new technologies, according to [Stack Overflow](https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#technology-most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted). Product-led growth is official “a thing,” and companies that make life easier for developers have been crowned with success again and again.

The acquisition of Auth0 accelerated Okta’s own journey with developers. Over 2.8 million unique developers look to [Auth0, now the Okta Customer Identity Cloud](https://www.okta.com/press-room/press-releases/okta-introduces-okta-customer-identity-cloud-to-help-businesses-grow-user/) each month for expertise on how to implement customer identity, across in-person events, the Auth0 Ambassador program, and digital channels like docs, technical blogs, and JWT.io.

Today, at [Oktane22](https://www.okta.com/oktane22/), we announced the next giant leap in our journey toward making identity easier for developers: New partnerships with three of the leading developer platforms: DigitalOcean, Netlify, and Vercel. These are like-minded platforms that put developers at the heart of their missions. Together, we intend to bring expert advice and easy integrations to where developers already spend their time–with the ultimate vision of providing secure customer identity in one click or less within each platform environment.

“Creating compelling experiences is hard enough without having to be an identity expert, too. And the stakes are too high to get it wrong,” said Shiven Ramji, Chief Product Officer, Customer Identity at Okta. “Okta Customer Identity Cloud powered by Auth0 can be called by your app and hosted in your cloud of choice, but we don’t want to stop there. This is the first step in a multi-year journey to fully integrate secure identity capabilities where developers are building the future. We are honored to have DigitalOcean, Netlify, and Vercel join us on this quest.”

## Abstracting Away Complexity

Developers are facing all kinds of application complexity and maintenance work that takes them away from innovation. The Covid-19 pandemic only amplified the need to be hyper-focused on shipping differentiated, user-centric products. Security has become a cat-and-mouse game as attackers shift their tactics and new privacy laws are established. Developers need to balance all of these priorities while dealing with resourcing and talent pressures.

Customer identity stands at the intersection of these forces: security, privacy, and user experience. Getting it right enables everyone to safely access any technology and developers to integrate customer identities across the stack. But according to a [Gartner](https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/4009255)® report, “The cost of maintaining a homegrown CIAM toolset has grown, compared with commercial offerings. There is a growing preference for buying versus building, which is enabling the business to refocus development resources.”

## Empowering Developers for a Safer Internet

Together, we believe Okta, DigitalOcean, Netlify, and Vercel can streamline the education, implementation, and activation of customer identity for developers across the globe. Today, we’re starting with improving education and awareness around the complexity of identity, followed by improving discoverability for our integrations along the developer journey, with the ultimate vision of one-click integrations.

Democratizing access to enterprise-grade customer identity for developers will have a massive impact on the security of end-consumers and empower developers to focus on innovation. As part of Okta Customer Identity Cloud, we can put adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA), bot detection, passkeys, and more in the hands of developers with the literal flip of a switch. Meeting developers where they are is a key part of our strategy, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome DigitalOcean, Netlify, and Vercel to our network.

“We’re very excited to be working with Okta to better equip developers and small businesses to add customer identity into their Apps built on DigitalOcean,” said Tyler Healy, Vice President of Security at [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/). “When it comes to developers and digital entrepreneurs, simplicity is vital. This partnership will only further DigitalOcean’s ability to simplify innovation on our platform and enable builders to spend more time creating software that changes the world.”

“Developers are moving to a decoupled, composable web architecture because they want more flexibility to use any tool or framework to build faster, better-performing web experiences. At the same time, they need a great developer experience in a simple workflow. That’s where Netlify plays a key role as the platform connecting all developer’s tools, including Auth0 by Okta, and APIs in one place to build and run web apps. Working with Okta, we look forward to making identity and authentication as easy and simple as possible for millions of developers,” said Matt Biilmann, CEO and co-founder [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/)

“As a leading cloud platform for frontend developers, Vercel provides innovators with the speed and reliability they need to create at the moment of inspiration. Security and identity are at the core of building delightful digital experiences,” said Malte Ubl, CTO at [Vercel](https://vercel.com/). “By joining forces with Okta, we’re not only simplifying the role that identity plays on the web but also making a commitment to enhancing the speed and breadth of developer-friendly cybersecurity in an increasingly digital world.” 

## Neutrality to Build Your App, Your Way

Developers want the freedom and power to choose the best solutions for their digital ecosystem. Okta’s commitment to neutrality means not being restricted to a specific technology stack and having the ability to control and customize identity now and in the future. We are designing easy-to-integrate solutions that free developers to use any technology, regardless of platform, device, or infrastructure. We are 100% focused on identity, so developers can focus on innovation.

**[Cymatic - User Risk Analytics](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/cymatic-user-risk-analytics)** 
The new [Cymatic](https://cymatic.io/) integration on the Auth0 Marketplace provides organizations with a way to seamlessly understand login risk — without affecting the consumer experience. With Cymatic, you can quickly understand which users put your organization at risk and mitigate ATO before it begins. By adding rich and informative user risk insights and analytics to your Auth0 workflow, you can get a detailed picture of your users’ security hygiene and your organization’s potential risk exposure across logins, sessions, devices, locations, user behaviors, and credentials. 

![443ID](https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/6Uli6249QWM2tEY9hT3yor/ba9848e0320ff25b415c691d6845d2c1/05_443ID.png)

## 443ID

**[443ID - Risk Scoring](https://marketplace.auth0.com/integrations/443-id-risk)** 
The new [443ID](https://443id.com/) Actions Integration allows you to add OSINT risk to your authentication flows without having to write a single line of code. Using the 443ID integration, you can pair your risk signals with 443ID’s diverse set of OSINT risk signals into your authentication flow right from your Auth0 console. These risk scores let you deny authentication based on risk level or determine when or how a user must MFA. Collecting these risk scores over time allows you to build a unique SignalPrint™, which can be used to recognize and verify legitimate identities while limiting the need for expensive KYC or captchas.

Auth0.org’s Latest Grant Recipients

Auth0.org Welcomes 4 New Cohort Grant Partners

Since committing to the [Pledge 1% movement](https://pledge1percent.org/) and launching Auth0’s social impact arm, Auth0.org, in fall 2020, we’ve been proud to make over $650,000 in grants to support over **[25 community organizations](https://www.auth0.com/social-impact/portfolio)** through charitable sponsorships and grants from the [SAFE Fund](https://auth0.com/social-impact/fund) (Secure Access For Everyone) – a charitable fund which supports charities and nonprofits from around the globe that help provide access to education and technology for everyone, in an inclusive way.

Building on the Pledge 1% model, Auth0 is leveraging our financial resources, employee volunteer time, and identity and authentication product to support the important work of our nonprofit community partners. We focus our grantmaking and employee engagement efforts primarily on three key social outcomes: 

1. _Closing the Digital Divide to enable underserved communities to get connected and thrive._
2. _Diversifying access and participation in secondary and university STEM education, especially by those most challenged, such as women/girls and students of color. _
3. _Diversifying the technology & cybersecurity workforce, especially for women and people of color._

And our employees also choose causes and organizations to support with time and money that are addressing pressing social issues in the communities where we live and work. We leverage  workday volunteer hours, employee personal donations, and corporate financial support for many causes including: addressing homlessness, making our parks and family playspaces cleaner, supporting at-risk LGBTQ+ youth, and supporting COVID and disaster relief efforts in the US and internationally – just to name a few.

We are proud to announce our recent cohort of strategic grant partners, who receive substantial unrestricted grant support and volunteer hours from our employees. These amazing changemakers are:

* [Girls Who Code](https://girlswhocode.com/)
* [NPower](https://www.npower.org/)
* [CIC UK](https://www.communityintegratedcare.co.uk/)
* [Reboot Representation](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/)

We look forward to investing our passion, time, money, and product in more nonprofit partners in the US and the countries where we live and work. Stay tuned for their announcements.  

Thank you to all of our fellow Auzurios and to Auth0’s leadership team whose philanthropic beliefs and commitment to positive social change are the foundation of Auth0.org. We are leaning into extending inclusive access to education and technology and addressing pressing needs in the communities where we live and work. And that’s something we can all be truly proud of.

Please join me in congratulating our new cohort and if you have a moment, I highly encourage you to check out these incredible organizations and consider engaging with them through a donation, volunteer time, or through one of the avenues listed below each highlighted charity. Every little bit helps. 

## [Reboot Representation](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/)**

Auth0 believes in building the community of diverse talent available for us and other tech companies to hire in the years and decades to come. But developing that talent takes time and patience. These promising future tech professionals need to be engaged as early as middle school and supported through high school, college and post secondary training; throughout their careers in our industry. It’s not just about hiring, it’s about developing talent.  

We are big fans of our new grant partner [Reboot Representation](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/) which seeks to double the number of Black, Latina, and Native Women in the technology sector earning computer science degrees by 2025. 

The lack of representation carries a major cost for women, companies, and the entire tech sector. Reboot Representation’s mission is to change that by closing the gap for Black, Latina, and Native Women in the technology sector. 

Companies with diverse teams, including those with more women, are shown to be more creative, innovative, and ultimately more profitable. We all have the power to change the current landscape. In fact, Reboot Representation provides [free tools and resources](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/tools-resources/) that can be put into action across organizations that are looking to drive solutions to close the gender gap which are definitely worth checking out.

**How You Can Support Reboot Representation**

* Consider [supporting](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/support-reboot-grantees/) Reboot Representation High School and College Grantees
* Work for [equity in tech](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/work-for-equity-in-tech/). There are a number of ways here to make your voice heard and impact felt based on your role
* Speak to your organization about joining their [Tech Coalition](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/get-in-touch/)
* [Follow them](https://www.rebootrepresentation.org/get-in-touch/) on social media & help spread the word

## [NPower](https://www.npower.org/)

It is estimated that in today’s economy around 50% of all jobs require some degree of technology and digital skills. However, not all people have the access nor the means to develop these skills. 

Access to resources such as internet connectivity expansion, STEM education programs, and tech career pathways can help those who traditionally lack access to such means can change that narrative. They are also factors that as catalysts for driving change, Auth0 cares deeply about and precisely why we are thrilled to back our strategic partner [NPower](https://www.npower.org/), who is connecting underserved youth and military veterans to the skills needed to succeed in a tech career. 

NPower envisions a future where the US technology workforce is diverse, and clear pathways exist for all people regardless of ethnicity, gender, or socio-economic background to succeed in the digital economy. 

Their programs create pathways to economic prosperity by launching digital careers for military veterans and young adults from underserved communities. NPower’s work is rewriting the story everyday for hundreds of individuals across the United States.

## [Girls Who Code](https://girlswhocode.com/)**

If we want our teams in tech that look like our society and bring diverse perspectives to our work, our products, and our customers, we need to support those future tech professionals early on. Our new strategic grant partner Girls Who Code does just that.

GWC offers coding clubs for girls and young women in grades 3 - 12, summer immersion programs for 10th & 12th graders, college programs, and coding at home activities. These are just a few of the many ways that Girls Who Code are teaching girls and young women how to program, but more importantly, how to thrive and lead in the tech workforce.

To date, [Girls Who Code](https://girlswhocode.com/) has reached 500M people in the U.S. and around the world through diverse and inclusive programs which aim to close the gender gap in tech. They’re making a big impact, but the hard work and mission is never ending, like so many other nonprofit and social impact organizations.

Leading LATAM identity providers support Mexico’s top companies with identity management and security needs

**BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Nov. 17, 2021** – The [Auth0 Identity Platform](https://auth0.com/), a product unit within Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA), announced today a new partnership with [TEC360](http://www.tec360cloud.com/), a leading provider of cloud solutions for enterprises in Mexico and Latin America (LATAM). TEC360 is Auth0’s first partner in Mexico, and together, the two companies are helping enterprises across the region meet their evolving identity management and security goals.

TEC360 operates in Mexico and LATAM and provides cloud solutions for enterprises’ technological and security needs including customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX), change management, edge infrastructure, identity management, and internet of things (IoT). The addition of TEC360 to Auth0’s [Partner Program](https://auth0.com/partners) and Auth0’s growth in the region indicates the growing demand and importance of identity management in securing the new and complex digital world as businesses have to meet the ever-growing expectations for security, privacy, and convenience.

Globally, the pandemic has [accelerated digital road maps across industries](https://auth0.com/blog/how-brick-and-mortar-approaches-improve-digital-experiences/), and businesses now have to quickly respond to changes in digital expectations and buying patterns — and in LATAM the technology penetration has been rapidly growing at an average rate of 65% year-over-year since 2003 ([2020 Latin America Digital Transformation Report)](https://www.atlantico.vc/latin-america-digital-transformation-report), with Mexico as the second-highest country in LATAM, following Brazil. As the number of online identities continue to increase, so do the number of online threats — a modern identity platform offers the right balance of convenience, privacy, and security to protect and retain customers.

“At TEC360, our commitment is to provide enterprise customers with the best cloud solutions that give their organization and customers more choice and flexibility to accelerate growth and innovation,” said Peter Wiegandt, CEO of TEC360. “Identity management is a critical part of these projects, and by joining forces with Auth0 we will give our customers in Mexico and throughout LATAM the extensible building blocks to solve for an identity use case without having to compromise between convenience, privacy, or security.”

“More than ever, a modern identity solution can help accelerate digital transformation, remove security risks, and positively impact the business through improved user experiences,” said Ghazi Masood, SVP and General Manager, Americas at Auth0. “We are proud to join forces with TEC360 to help customers in the region customize identity for their exact use case, enabling them to free up time and resources previously spent on the complexities of identity management to focus more on their core value proposition.”

Joins exclusive group of AWS Partners with deep expertise and proven success in helping customers around the world build a secure digital workplace

**BELLEVUE, Wash. – June 3, 2021 –** The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, today announced that it has achieved [Amazon Web Services (AWS) Digital Workplace Competency](https://aws.amazon.com/products/end-user-computing/partner-solutions/?partner-solutions-cards.sort-by=item.additionalFields.partnerNameLower&partner-solutions-cards.sort-order=asc) status.

Developer-Friendly Solution Removes the Complexity of Authentication and Authorization for App Developers

**SEATTLE, Sep 17, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE)** -- [**Auth0**](https://auth0.com), an identity-as-a-service solution, announced today it has secured $2.4 million in seed funds led by Bessemer Venture Partners with participation from K9 Ventures, Portland Seed Fund and NXTP Labs. The company’s service is already in use in 124 countries by more than 8,000 developers and IT managers in both small and large enterprises in the software, financial, media, security and consumer sectors. Some of Auth0’s larger customers include [*Schneider Electric*](http://www.schneider-electric.com/ww/en/), the global specialist in energy management, [*MindJet*](https://www.mindjet.com/), the leading innovation management and collaborative project management platform, [*Allegion*](http://www.allegion.com/corp/en/index.html), the leading provider of security solutions for homes and businesses around the world, and [*Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection*](https://www.bhtp.com/), Berkshire Hathaway's travel insurance arm.

*“We’re a company founded by developers for developers. We created Auth0 because we are identity and security experts that are frustrated with the unnecessary complexity of integrating identity management into apps and APIs,”* said Jon Gelsey, Chief Executive Officer at Auth0. *“Since our launch, we have seen tremendous traction and Bessemer’s investment allows us to leverage its market-leading enterprise security and SaaS expertise to continue to grow the business.”*

Auth0 removes the complexity of authentication and authorization for developers. Instead of spending days or weeks writing complex and unfamiliar code, many identity scenarios can be solved with just a few lines of code to invoke Auth0’s service. Developers can implement highly secure and robust solutions, without requiring deep expertise in the complexities of authentication and authorization.

*“In the same way Twilio democratized access to SMS and voice communications, Auth0 developed an identity service to eliminate the growing complexity of authentication and authorization for developers,”* said David Cowan, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. *“Auth0 has the dream team in authentication security, which is why developers are so quickly adopting their API as the de facto way to do logins."*


The Auth0 solution allows any application or API running on any device, OS or software stack to authenticate with any identity provider. From the simplest app in the store to the most sophisticated enterprise software solution, Auth0 enables individual developers and IT managers to quickly and easily implement complex identity authentication scenarios.

*“We took a strategic, calculated bet on Auth0,”* said James Gardner, SVP of Product at Mindjet. *“By using Auth0's sophisticated identity infrastructure -- rather than building it ourselves -- we were able to assign two, full-time software engineers to developments directly related to Mindjet's core value proposition, which resulted in higher revenue while saving us a great deal of money.”*

The company also announced it has hired Gianpaolo Carraro as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Mr. Carraro joins the company from Microsoft where he held executive roles in sales, marketing, and developer evangelism for the past twelve years. Auth0 will use the new funds to hire additional developers and add more features to its service. They will also invest in sales and marketing to build brand awareness and grow its customer base.

Global identity management provider one of the first AWS Partners to give AWS customers seamless access to professional services in AWS Marketplace

**BELLEVUE, Wash. – December 3, 2020** – The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, today announced that it is participating in the launch of Professional Services in AWS Marketplace. Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers can now find and purchase professional services from Auth0 in AWS Marketplace, a curated digital catalog of software, data, and services that makes it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software and data products that run on AWS. As a participant in the launch, Auth0 is one of the first independent software vendors to quote and contract services in AWS Marketplace to help customers implement, support, and manage their software on AWS. [Click here](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=0079abaf-bc2f-481c-9543-d2bfedb81003) for more information. 

As organizations migrate to the cloud, they want to use their preferred software solutions on AWS. AWS customers often utilize professional services from Auth0 to help implement the Auth0 platform and enable interoperability with their applications. Until now, AWS customers had to find and contract professional services outside of AWS Marketplace and could not acquire an identity platform solution and associated professional services in a single procurement experience. With professional services from Auth0 available in AWS Marketplace, customers have a simplified way to purchase and pay for both their subscription to the Auth0 platform and related professional services in a centralized place. 

“Auth0 is proud to offer professional services in AWS Marketplace and provide AWS customers with additional support they may need for any identity implementation,” said Bill Lapcevic, VP of Business Development at Auth0. “We are excited to be one of the first independent software vendors to offer professional services as part of this launch and look forward to providing an even more comprehensive identity offering for AWS customers.”

Auth0 is an AWS Advanced Technology Partner that is participating in AWS re:Invent 2020, taking place November 30 - December 18, 2020. To learn more, visit: [https://info.auth0.com/auth0-at-aws.html](https://info.auth0.com/auth0-at-aws.html).

Auth0 Supports the Launch of Professional Services in AWS Marketplace

Reinforces commitment to the region with new headcount, customers, and partners

**LONDON – 25th November, 2020 –** The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, today announced it has doubled its business in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region (EMEA) in the third-quarter over the same period last year. Randstad, Pret A Manger, Nutmeg, Flo Health, Libération, WeTransfer, and DPG Media, with its "Streamz" online video-on-demand platform, join the hundreds of customers across the region already using the Auth0 platform. 

"Randstad has been progressively rolling out the Auth0 solution for identity management, designed to foster collaboration among our 41,000 team members around the world," said Koen Klaassen, global identity and access management program lead at Randstad. "The Auth0 private cloud solution fits our needs in terms of compliance and scalability, delivering the right level of performance and control."

Auth0's growth benefits from the success of its modular, "building block" approach, which helps customers and developers to customize identity capabilities for their exact use case. The September launch of [Auth0 Marketplace](https://marketplace.auth0.com/) provides further extensibility by introducing native third-party solutions from technology partners, including regional companies like Onfido, MyLife Digital, and Scaled Access.

Additionally, channel partners are contributing to the adoption of the Auth0 platform in the EMEA region. Auth0 has concluded agreements with new partners across EMEA, including CMS Distribution in the UK and systems integrator Devoteam in France, who have joined 30 regional partners already offering the Auth0 platform.

"Devoteam measures its success by enabling customers to unlock greater value in their digital transformation projects," said Karim Bouami, digital identity and trust service director, Devoteam. "When identity management is a critical part of these projects, Auth0 brings a solid solution to support customers in those transformations, improving security without sacrificing engagement or experience."

Auth0 continues to scale its regional footprint to accompany increases in customer demand, increasing regional headcount to 139 in the third quarter, up more than 50% from the same period last year. With employees based across the EMEA region, Auth0 maintains a strong culture of remote working, which predates Covid-19 confinement periods in the region. 

"Our seamless transition in and out of remote working scenarios has helped keep our focus on serving our customers this year," observed Steven Rees-Pullman, SVP International, Auth0. "As we continue to evolve our offering and our organization to reflect demand, we aim to become a trusted local partner for each and every one of our customers across the region."

Auth0's regional footprint is underpinned by the strength of its technical teams, who engage with thousands of developers through a broad program of conferences, videos, and content. "Europe sets itself apart as a strategic region for engineering talent, and as a software company, Auth0 is proud of our highly-skilled engineers and designers," said Carolyn Moore, SVP People of Auth0.

In October, the prestigious [KuppingerCole KCLive Award for Customer Authentication](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-powers-signify-s-award-winning-customer-authentication-solution/) was presented to Auth0's customer Signify for outstanding customer experience. Auth0 has also been named to the [2020 Forbes Cloud 100](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-is-named-to-the-2020-forbes-cloud-100/) for the third consecutive year.

I am passionate about making products work for our users instead of expecting users to adapt to make things work for themselves. Amongst many hard-earned lessons over a career in product and services, the two things that I have held most dear have been the importance of empathy and the value of why and how we can effectively use these to generate value. And I look forward to continuing to put these to effect and make a lasting difference here at Auth0.

Combining the power of Auth0 and Sumo Logic’s security framework for ultimate identity insights.

Identity management continues to drive digital transformation and innovation across industry verticals. At the forefront of these changes, Auth0 is observing a strong shift towards an integrated approach towards security, operations, and analytical insights. Modern enterprises are designing their systems to leverage data as a core value, and Auth0 makes this possible by providing scalable, resilient, and real-time access to our user's identity and security data. Customers can use their metrics tool of choice without any dependency on development teams.

This is enabled by Auth0's Log Streaming feature, and we are very excited to announce Sumo Logic as our latest strategic partnership geared toward helping customers realize their identity data strategy. Sumo Logic provides its users with log management, monitoring, and SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools. This native Auth0 integration alongside the [Sumo Logic app](https://marketplace.auth0.com/features/log-streaming) allows our users to visualize key insights like logins, accounts creations, and security anomalies at the click of a button.

![Login Mmetrics](https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/KrgnAwa5UDVFWQPeRdoES/d6085f59cd54bfb93e4b6514c1d0be2c/login-metrics)

Auth0 is also a [Sumo Logic technology partner](https://www.sumologic.com/whats-new/) and joins its [Modern Enterprise Security Architecture (MESA) framework](https://www.sumologic.com/blog/modern-enterprise-security-architecture/) for serving Identity and Access needs to modern cloud enterprises. "There is a tremendous value from integrating identity analytics and security data in a closed-loop model to help better monitor SOC and SIEM production applications. We're excited to deliver that value to our joint customers to give them the continuous intelligence they need to strengthen DevSecOps and application security," said John Coyle, VP of Business Development at Sumo Logic. 

Our Sumo Logic partnership allows for countless possibilities for our users to leverage the wide variety of Auth0 events and their contextual richness. Some key use cases here include:

* **Proactive insights into security threats**
Users can easily identify suspicious activity and act on it before it turns into a major incident. Auth0 makes it easy to detect anomalies like sudden spikes in login attempts or account activities by providing events for security incidents such as breached passwords or IP/account blocks enforced for attack protection. Paired with the powerful real-time visualization capabilities of Sumo Logic, security professionals can easily stay on top of threats.

* **Operational monitoring and troubleshooting**
Often the harder challenge for an operational team is separating the signal from the noise constantly demanding attention. Once they identify a suspicious pattern, there is usually a race to build correlations with disparate data sets to get to the root cause. Auth0's categorization of different types of events from signups, logins, MFAs, or recovery allows operational teams to design dashboards and set alerts in Sumo Logic. This, in turn, enables them to easily identify issues and investigate further as they see increases in failures of successful operations.

* **Leveraging data for better decision making**
Sumo Logic and Auth0 events pair seamlessly to help users understand the behavior patterns of their customers or to analyze adoption trends as they relate to markets or geographies. With Auth0's contextual depth, such as device details or location information, it has never been easier to analyze identity metrics and drive better business decisions such as focusing on segments or prioritizing features based on observed trends.

## Log Streaming Enables This Integration

Auth0 Log Streaming provides scalable, resilient, and low latency access to Auth0 event logs covering a wide range of event types, including our own security-specific events. It enables our users to bring Auth0 data into their own security, operations, or analytics tool of choice. It also allows our users to use Auth0 as an extensibility or automation trigger, leveraging our event details to start workflows such as automated email campaigns or actions to security threats.

Joins exclusive group of APN Partners with deep expertise and proven success in secure identity management

**BELLEVUE, Wash. &mdash; July 30, 2020 &mdash;** The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, today announced that it has achieved [Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency](https://aws.amazon.com/security/partner-solutions/) status. This designation recognizes that Auth0 has demonstrated proven deep identity management expertise that helps customers achieve their cloud security goals.

Achieving the AWS Security Competency differentiates Auth0 as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that provides specialized identity and access management solutions designed to help enterprises adopt, develop, and deploy complex security projects on AWS. To receive the designation, APN Partners must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.

“Auth0 is proud to be an APN Partner and to have achieved AWS Security Competency status,” said Bill Lapcevic, VP of Business Development at Auth0. “Our team is dedicated to helping companies achieve their security goals by combining our identity expertise with the range of powerful security tools AWS provides.”
 
AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the [AWS Competency Program](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/competencies/) to help customers identify Consulting and Technology APN Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.

AWS customer, [**ChaosSearch**](https://chaossearch.io/), found Auth0 via the APN. ChaosSearch helps businesses organize Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)-data lakes. Through Auth0’s services, ChaosSearch is now capable of accommodating any potential customer requirements for enterprise federation. “Our simplified architecture has very few moving parts, so we scrutinize every third-party component. We integrated with Auth0 because it delivers significant value to our platform and customers,” said Thomas Hazel, founder and CTO at ChaosSearch. “The integration allows our customers to specify the protocol they want, and Auth0 handles all the details quickly.” 

More information on Auth0 and its AWS Security Competency designation can be found on the [AWS website](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/find/partnerdetails/?id=001E000000YKGRTIA5&did=pa_card&trk=pa_card).

Privacy and security are partners joined by an IAM

_**Disclaimer:** This article is for general information purposes only and not a substitute for legal advice. Please consult with your legal counsel to obtain specific advice for any legal manner._

Any pre-teen with a journal understands the difference between data privacy and data security. If you secretly read your friend’s journal to find out their secrets, you’ve violated the principles of data privacy. But if your friend tells you their secrets, and you write it in your own journal, and then leave that journal out where anyone can read it, you’ve violated good data security.

As a pre-teen, a failure on either front can cost you your friendship. In today’s business world — in which cybersecurity threats are rampant, and data privacy laws like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act ([CCPA](https://auth0.com/ccpa/)) are cropping up around the world — failure can be even more costly. Knowing the difference between data privacy and data security, and the tools you must employ to protect both can help prevent breaches and achieve legal compliance. Unfortunately, too many executives think that their data security policy covers data privacy, and vice versa.

In this climate, it’s crucial for executives to understand how these concepts differ, how they overlap, and how to incorporate both into a sound data governance strategy.

## What's the Difference Between Data Privacy and Data Security?

You can imagine data privacy and data security as a Venn diagram with significant points of overlap, but businesses should have a distinct set of strategies for managing each. 

That doesn’t mean you can have one without the other, necessarily -- you can hardly protect privacy without security. But it does mean that sometimes it’s important to look at each concept separately to make sure both sides of the security/privacy coin are being properly addressed. 

### Data Privacy

Data privacy is about defining what personal information you should and shouldn’t ask for (or gather) from your users.

It concerns how and why an entity collects, stores, shares, and controls access to sensitive data. Data privacy is about the kind of information you ask from your users (or collect via cookies or from third parties), why you ask for that information in the first place, and how you plan to use the information you’ve gathered.

**Data privacy applies to the personal information of an individual.** GDPR and [CCPA](https://auth0.com/ccpa/) have [broadly similar definitions of personal data](https://fpf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/GDPR_CCPA_Comparison-Guide.pdf). An individual’s full name and mailing address will typically be considered as personal data, while in some cases, browsing history could also be seen as personal data. GDPR goes further in defining special categories of data, such as health information, political affiliation, biometric data, and sexual orientation, which are all subject to stricter requirements for processing. The personal data of minors is also subject to stricter regulation under many international laws.

**Data privacy laws address both the "how" and the "why" of data collection.** These laws require companies to transparently communicate their policies with users and give users greater control over how their data is used, which may require providing users with the ability to opt in or out — that’s the “how.” But they also require companies to disclose what purpose they’re collecting data for — that’s the “why.” In other words, what is the reason for the intrusion.

For instance, prior to GDPR’s passage, the [UK fined Facebook](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48972327) for giving Cambridge Analytica access to user data without user consent, violating their privacy. There wasn’t a data breach or a malicious hacker involved — the company just wasn’t respecting user privacy, and that data was then used to [manipulate elections potentially](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/17/cambridge-analytica-facebook-influence-us-election).

There are, of course, totally legitimate ways for a company to collect personal information without prior consent that doesn’t inherently violate the principles of data privacy. Most companies who do business online collect things like usernames, password hashes, bank or credit card information, and other data directly related to business operations.

If you’re a home insurance company, you may need the address of the customer’s home, the size of the home, the year it was built, etc. It may be perfectly fine to have that information, but if your insurance company shares this data with an unauthorized third party without your customers' knowledge or consent, you may be trodding into non-compliance territory.

Personal information as defined by the laws is a bit of an ever-changing and refining property, but there are [methods for keeping up with the changes](https://auth0.com/resources/whitepapers/evolving-definition-of-personal-Information). 

**Some data privacy laws, including GDPR, specifically enshrine the "[purpose limitation principle](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/principles/),**" mandating that personal data can’t be used for a new purpose without specific permission. GDPR also requires “data minimization:” that entities don’t [collect more data than is needed for a particular purpose](https://auth0.com/blog/avoid-sinking-your-code-by-treating-data-as-a-liability/) for a specific purpose.

### Data Security

If data privacy concerns the personal data of individuals, data security concerns how a company protects that data from unauthorized access or corruption. Data security is what you do with the data you’ve gathered from your users — where you store the data, whether or not you encrypt it, who has access to it, and how you determine who is an authorized user.

It’s possible to have good data privacy standards while still failing on data security. Even if your data collection policies are strictly in accordance with the law, if you’re not protecting that data with adequate security measures such as authentication and access management, you still may not be in legal compliance.

![dataprivacy_vs_datasecurity-sep-1](https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/74v3Z31GvHeWlHw69QRUck/f46dcb7bc08161945d39d0f6bfa54283/dataprivacy_vs_datasecurity-sep-1)

## How the Law Regulates Data Privacy and Data Security

The [GDPR and the CCPA](https://auth0.com/resources/whitepapers/GDPR-vs-CCPA) came into being largely in response to unscrupulous data collection policies that failed to respect users’ privacy. Data privacy laws may require companies who deal in personal data to have well-maintained records of how user data was acquired, why, who had access to it, and where it was sold or shared and with whom. You may need to have all that information ready at all times, and be able to share it with users and regulators upon request.

The current crop of data privacy laws also specify, to varying degrees, the security measures that companies are obligated to adopt to protect data.

### Protecting Access and Anonymity

There are tools to help you build a stronger data privacy and security program.

**Access management is all about ensuring the user is who they say they are, that you have access to what you should have access to, and having a way to manage that access**. [Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA)](https://auth0.com/blog/why-nist-recommends-mfa-to-fight-ecommerce-fraud/) is a major element to data security; otherwise, it would be easy for intruders to impersonate users and expose records through credential stuffing. MFA identifies users by checking who they are (a username), that they know something the user ought to know (a password), and that they have something only the user would have (a USB key, a mobile phone, etc).

Depending on which law you’re trying to comply with, **anonymization and de-identification are all about scrambling user data so it is no longer identified or identifiable**. There are varying legal and technical standards for what constitutes de-identification and anonymization, but as more laws develop, and the ones on the books have time to mature, we can expect some clarity and convergence on this front. IAM’s management can aid compliance even with ever-changing legal definitions. 

## Creating a Data Privacy Plan
A strong data privacy plan is all about knowing what data you have on the customer/client/user and why you have it.

You’ll need both an internal and external policy. Where an external privacy policy lets clients, customers, and shareholders know what kind of data your collecting and why, the internal privacy policy outlines what team members and the company can do with that information.

### Hash Out the Internal Policy

Sit down with your development team and hash out the bare minimum data you need to ask for.

A mapping app needs GPS locations, an online order needs an address, etc. Do not ask your customers (and do not _collect_ from your customers) any non-essential data. Even if it might “come in handy” due to future planned features of your business, GDPR and other laws stipulate that you cannot use data for anything beyond what it was originally gathered for. There’s no saving it “for later.”

The next step is to create a comprehensive policy for everyone that outlines what kind of data you’re collecting for your business, the related bits [of the actual regulation text](https://gdpr-info.eu/) to keep everyone on the same page, and detail who’s responsible for executing each leg of the policy.

Next, take stock of all the data you have and create a comprehensive inventory. 

An identity and access management (IAM) system can help you find and manage this kind of data. Take inventory of where the data has gone - to other businesses or people - and track how it got there and for what purpose.

### Drafting the External Policy

What do you need in your privacy policy to put customers at ease and meet compliance? 

First, find the relevant laws you’re working on in your location and business. A corporate lawyer who specializes in your industry may be a smart first investment, or at the very least seek out the advice of an expert in your field. 

Draft a privacy message that communicates what data you’re collecting and why, matching the legal requirements. Cribbing from boilerplate privacy permission forms from other companies in your industry could be a good starting point, but always work with your legal counsel to make sure your privacy statement accurately reflects your organization’s practices.

### Execute the Plan

The broadcast and execution of the internal and external privacy policy will need a multi-pronged approach. 

The internal privacy policy needs to be located in a knowledge base that all relevant team members have access too, and team members will have to be trained on the new policy. And, of course, developers will have to deploy these changes throughout the system, overhauling or tweaking how you collect customer data (and what data you collect). 

The external privacy policy will need to be broadcast wherever clients and customers will see it when giving the company data of any kind -- on a website, a mobile app, paper forms, whatever method your company uses.

## Create a Data Security Plan
Data security tackles two kinds of data: structured data and unstructured data.

**Structured data is the kind you'll find in your IAM** &mdash who is accessing what, and where, while logged into your system. Modern IAM platforms like Auth0 make handling structured data relatively easy. 

**Unstructured data is anything from emails to PowerPoint decks to paper notes on an employee's desk**: sensitive or valuable data that is outside of your IAM, that cannot be easily tracked and collated. Are employees emailing files to each other instead of sharing them via an encrypted cloud service? Are they taking data home in the form of print-outs or USB dongles?

### Make Someone Responsible for Data Security

The person in charge of these plans should be your CDO (Chief Data Officer) or an equivalent, dedicated position depending on your company’s size and resources. 

They should be in charge of compliance, data handling, and employee instruction on up-to-date data policies. 

### Identify Your Vulnerabilities
Where are your data security vulnerabilities?

The more sensitive data you collect, the greater your security should be. If you have an online store, your IAM needs to help you manage and encrypt user names, addresses, and financial information.

For a company that controls medical information and has a greater responsibility to protect data in the eyes of the law, authorization and security must be airtight. Methods like multi-factor authentication and data scrambling become non-negotiable. Choosing a security solution with HIPAA experience that can offer BAAs is paramount.

If your organization stores messages, chat, or email from customers and clients, those messages need to be encrypted -- data pulled from seemingly innocuous communication could contain user information useful to breach financial accounts. If you offer a reward or loyalty program, those are frequent targets of fraud and require strong authentication and identification.

### Secure Every Form of Data

Your plan to secure data is going to depend on what sort of data you’re dealing with. Most, if not all, organizations deal with both structured and unstructured data. 

**In the case of structured data, your security plan should be tightly controlled permissions, multi-factor authentication, and single-sign-on policies for all sensitive data**. All passwords need to be hashed and salted in your database, as do all usernames.

**The primary weapon against unstructured data breaches is training**. To tackle unstructured data, start with a strong DLP (data loss prevention) plan to identify your most sensitive data and your most likely avenues of breach. 

Again, whoever is in charge of data security is also responsible for training team members about the danger of USB drives, sensitive information written on slips of paper, mobile phone photos and videos.

Create regular reminders and in-person training, showing all employees how to keep their communication private, and how to properly share files while keeping them in your secured Cloud. 

Detail policies of what data can go home if any, and consider tagging that data with a kind of check-out system to increase accountability.

**And don’t neglect machine-generated unstructured data**. Does your workplace have security cameras? Are those security cameras, either the live feeds or backed-up recordings, accessible online in anyway? Cameras and video storage can be hacked, and it's very easy for hackers to glean a huge amount of sensitive data from visible computer screens and conversations.

If you have a fleet of vehicles, their GPS data can be hacked. Your logistical routes for both cargo and personnel isn’t something you want a bad actor to have, but it’s the kind of unstructured data that’s easily forgotten.

![dataprivacy_vs_datasecurity-sep-2](https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/717Ex47kQdyZ5d40k3dM24/bd043d7ddbc62e50247db9b1f3399cb8/dataprivacy_vs_datasecurity-sep-2)

## How to Address Data Privacy and Security With IAM

Good data privacy and security means controlling permissions and dictating who has authorized access to user information. It means ensuring that the only people with access to user data have adequate training and are doing so for legitimate purposes. It means defining authorized access and prohibiting unauthorized access. It means knowing, at all times, who is doing what in your system and why.

One major point of overlap between data privacy and security (and subsequently the best place to address both) is IAM. With your IAM platform, you can authenticate users, protect their data from unlawful access, and create user profiles from which administrators can access and manage all the data you have on everyone in your system.

When formulating your company’s [data governance strategy](https://segment.com/resources/cdp/customer-data-management/), the right IAM solution will help you get a picture of where your data is being stored and control who accesses it. A good IAM system keeps your finger on the pulse of what’s actually happening in your system and provides up-to-date information on your user-base's data.

![IAM](https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/60gvj9w6NoByMHhxSq0wQM/95c8e6319ed6f269aee6e02a891ecf0f/dashboard)

Auth0’s IAM system creates granularity of access — you can define which users have permissions and at what level of security. It doesn’t have to be a binary choice between admins (who can access everything at all times) and users who are completely blocked. You can define different permissions for different needs: helpdesk, accounting, marketing, and your CTO would all have vastly different levels of trust and access. This not only tracks accountability better, but ensures that a breach of one account won’t necessarily expose all the data in the system.

Sophisticated IAMs also enable features like [multi-factor authentication](https://auth0.com/blog/different-ways-to-implement-multifactor/) and single sign-on, both of which [act as safeguards against breaches](https://auth0.com/blog/credential-stuffing-is-a-persistent-threat-to-your-users/) in the first place.

## Data Privacy Plus Data Security Equals Compliance

While data privacy and data security aren’t the same, they are complementary concepts, and executives must take both into account when approaching data.

Your users, your partners, and international regulators all expect you to be able to explain what data your company possesses, what you do with it, and how you protect it. They also want assurance that the data collected is only for the stated purpose, not to be sold, shuffled around, or exploited when new features or services are created.

The right IAM platform can help you find the answers to those questions, and help you design data privacy and data security policies that work together to form a cohesive whole.

All employees, customers, and partners utilize 'Siemens ID' for seamless access to global apps and services

**BELLEVUE, Wash. – February 4, 2020 –** The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, today announced that it has partnered with global technology powerhouse, [Siemens AG](https://new.siemens.com/global/en.html) to develop and build ‘Siemens ID’, one centralized login for all Siemens internal and external applications. Siemens, headquartered in Munich, and the largest industrial manufacturing company in Europe, operates across 200 global offices with approximately €86.8 billion in annual revenue.

As one of the world’s largest producers of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies, Siemens turned to Auth0 to help build Siemens ID for centralizing access to its global applications and services for hundreds of customers, partners, and as of September 2019, 385,000 employees across the world. Siemens ID relies on Auth0’s highly-scalable platform to provide a centralized way to store the user database and login page while enabling each division to customize the identity providers they want, manage the roles, and define the workflow they need to optimize the user experience (a concept called [multi-tenancy](https://auth0.com/blog/using-auth0-for-b2b-multi-and-single-tenant-saas-solutions/)).

“[Before Auth0] we applied strict internal identity management policies to external identity management which caused lots of overhead and complexity. When Siemens ID-as-a-service and Auth0 as a service provider stepped in, we could improve the processes around identity management, reducing efforts while increasing the acceptance of the internal stakeholders,” said Hugo Francisco, Service Owner, IAM Solutions at Siemens. “This also enabled our clients and partners to focus on doing business instead of managing accounts and several login credentials for several applications.”

[Multi-factor authentication (MFA)](https://auth0.com/docs/multifactor-authentication) was one of the mandatory requirements for Siemens ID to provide an extra layer of security when delivering applications to external clients or partners. With Auth0, Siemens can offer three distinct types of second-factor authentication, which was a key differentiator when selling the implementation to internal stakeholders. Since partnering with Auth0, Siemens has expanded its Auth0 features to include [Universal Login](https://auth0.com/universal-login) and [Anomaly Detection](https://auth0.com/learn/anomaly-detection/), enabling them to quickly integrate various identity management features into its applications to fulfill the Siemens ID promise of robust security.

“Global companies like Siemens need to be able to standardize and centralize on one identity platform while maintaining flexibility and security at the department level,” said Steven Rees-Pullman, Vice President, International at Auth0. “As Siemens continues to grow and expand, the service they’ve created with Auth0 can scale with them.”

Siemens is one of many [Auth0 customers in the DACH region](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-announces-growth-in-dach/), including HolidayCheck and EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG. More details on [Siemens’ implementation of Auth0](https://auth0.com/case-studies/siemens/) can be found on the company’s website.

Permissions-based access controls ease administrator management

**BELLEVUE, Wash. — November 25, 2019 —** Auth0, the identity platform for application builders, today announced its integration with Session Tags, a new IAM feature from AWS. This integration provides AWS users with access to the right information based on their user attributes, and reduces the number of AWS roles and permissions policies the administrator has to manage and update when employees’ responsibilities change. 

Customers frequently manage their workforce identities using an identity provider (IdP), federating from it into AWS using industry standards such as SAML and OIDC. Now, with session tags, when users federate into AWS, Auth0 can be configured to send attributes — for example an environment tag, project tag, team tag, and cost center tag — which are then used to determine the correct IAM policies for controlling access to AWS resources. 

Customers can rely on the attributes from their corporate directory and ensure each employee receives defined permissions based on those attributes during an AWS session, simplifying fine-grained access control. Customers are able to scale more quickly without the administrator burden, and have a verifiable audit trail for permissions-based changes. 

“A lot of customers use attributed-based access control now, but are not able to make use of their existing IdPs to do so,” said Bill Lapcevic, VP of Business Development at Auth0. “Thanks to our integration with Session Tags, AWS IAM users will benefit from the ability to use existing attributes to automatically apply specified permissions, giving power back to the IdP as the source of truth for access control.” 

Please visit our [technical documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/integrations/aws) on Session Tags for more details on how to implement this feature.

Technology enhances security for lenders and financial partners using the Kiva.org platform

**BELLEVUE, Wash. -- August 27, 2019 --** [Auth0](https://auth0.com/), a global leader in Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), today announced that it is powering the authentication for [Kiva](https://www.kiva.org/), the international nonprofit dedicated to expanding financial access to help underserved communities thrive. Auth0's platform will provide secure web authentication for Kiva's growing global community of nearly two million lenders across more than 190 countries.

Kiva is the world's first and largest crowdfunding platform for social good, and has crowdfunded more than $1.3 billion in microloans to more than three million entrepreneurs worldwide since its founding in 2005. Kiva believes that lending is one of the most powerful and sustainable ways to make a positive impact on people's lives.

In response to its rapid growth, Kiva decided to transform its authentication platform to better serve its global audience of lenders who process a high number of transactions on a daily basis. Auth0 was selected after a careful review of many factors, including the robustness of the platform, ability to support compliance regulations, and added security features such as multifactor authentication and anomaly detection.

"People all around the world are looking to secure loans to help better themselves — and the individuals and organizations that are looking to provide these loans need a secure way to do so," said Van Mittal-Henkle, principal software engineer at Kiva. "It is essential that the authentication platform we have in place to help facilitate these loans is secure, flexible, and able to take on our continually expanding base of lenders and lending partners. We are pleased to have found that comprehensive solution in Auth0."

"Kiva is a perfect example of how technology can have a very substantial impact on the overall outcome of social good," said Eugenio Pace, CEO and co-founder at Auth0. "We are so thrilled to be working with an organization whose sole mission is to better people's lives, and are fully prepared to authenticate growing numbers of users as Kiva further broadens its lending network."

More companies in the U.S., Europe, and South Africa can leverage Auth0’s Universal Identity Platform, thanks to the global growth of the Auth0 Partner Program. 

Due to the demand that solutions integrators, resellers, cloud providers, and digital consultants have for an end-to-end identity and access management (IAM) platform that can handle any use case, for any audience, the Auth0 Partner Program has experienced 150 percent growth in number of partners since last year. The most recent additions to its program include:

The Auth0 Partner Program provides the tools and support needed to enable its partners to be successful with the industry’s most extensible and powerful identity platform. Expanding their offering with secure identity management, a critical component of any digital initiative, not only extends their value proposition and deepens customer relations, but also opens new opportunities and provides an incremental revenue stream. 

“Identity is becoming a foundational piece for any strategic project, big or small, and we are pleased to provide our partners with that elemental piece of the puzzle,” said Eric Snyder, Senior Director of Partners at Auth0. “We rely on our valuable partners to extend the reach of our platform, and are excited to broaden our exposure to more regions, thanks to the great new companies that have joined our program.”

Auth0 Expands Reach of Global Partner Program

End-to-end identity management now available to all AppXite resellers.

**LONDON, UK - March 20, 2018** – [Auth0](https://auth0.com/), a global leader in Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), has announced a new partnership with [AppXite](https://appxite.com/), a global leader in SaaS solutions aggregation and fully owned subsidiary of [Atea](https://www.atea.com/). Auth0’s identity and access management platform will be added to AppXite’s SaaS offering, adding even more value to its global reseller offering.

Auth0’s Universal Identity platform will now be accessible to AppXite’s extensive global network of managed service providers (MSPs), value-added resellers (VARs), and systems integrators (SIs) around the world. AppXite’s reseller network can integrate Auth0’s identity platform into their own offering to increase profitability, expand market share, and help their customers thrive in today’s cloud economy.

"Over the past few years, we have noticed a marked increase in demand for identity management. Companies are realizing the complexity of trying to handle internally and are turning to us for solutions," said Nicolas Albana, CEO of AppXite. "We strongly believe in Auth0 as a proven, industry standard authentication and authorization solution provider and we use their solutions in all our IP development efforts as strategic vendor."

AppXite selects technology solutions based on their ability to provide its partners with recurring revenues, strong margins, and competitive advantages. The company has even implemented Auth0 internally based on its value to the organization in easily managing the digital identities of their customer, partners, and employees.

"Our growth in 2018 will be attributed, in part, to the incredible partnerships we make in the channel that enable us to reach a wider network of customers," said Andrew Morris, EMEA Alliances and Channels Director. "Our partnership with AppXite marks an exciting step and we are looking forward to providing our identity platform to their huge reseller network."

Auth0 also recently joined the [Google Cloud Platform](https://auth0.com/learn/gcp/) as a technology partner. For more information on the Auth0 Partner Program, or to join, please visit: [https://auth0.com/partners](https://auth0.com/partners).

<include src="TweetQuote" quoteText="Auth0 partners can leverage our industry leading tools and expertise. Join today!"/>

## Why a Partners Program?

Partnering with Auth0 enables system integrators and digital agencies who develop applications to **accelerate time to market**, **decrease development costs**, and **reduce risk** by offloading identity management to Auth0 so that they can focus on implementing business value. Auth0 offers generous resell and referral margins while providing pre and post-sales support to ensure joint success.

### Technology Partner

Technology Partners leverage the Auth0 platform to integrate, market and sell their own software solutions including SaaS and mobile applications, or extend the Auth0 platform with value added capabilities.

Our Technology Partners take two forms. ISV and SaaS providers who embed Auth0 to provide their identity management for their applications, and partners who extend the Auth0 platform through sophisticated identity scenarios that previously were not possible.

### Solution Partner

Solution Partners consult, resell, refer and help customers find and integrate the right identity solutions for both new and existing applications. Our Solution Partners integrate identity solutions into complex environments with unique organizational needs.

Grean, an Auth0 Technology Partner, has developed a service that makes authenticating and authorizing users to custom apps for b2b companies easy.

One of the great things about offering an extensive authentication platform is seeing how other companies extend and augment it with their own unique solutions. As Auth0’s ecosystem of partners grows, so too does the value we deliver to [**existing customers**](https://auth0.com/customers) already invested in our service. An investment made to address one area of a customer’s business quickly finds an accelerated ROI when another part of the business soon realizes how they too can leverage the platform either directly or through a point solution provided by an Auth0 partner.

A great example is [**Grean**](http://www.grean.com) - an [**Auth0 technology partner**](https://auth0.com/partners) based out of Denmark. Managing Director Niels Flensted-Jensen and his team has done a remarkable job understanding the business of their predominantly B2B enterprise customers and identifying complex and unwieldy processes that are core to the customer’s success yet not their core-business. The end result? Grean has extracted some of these processes away from the customer by rolling them into a niche managed service and offering it back to customers on a subscription basis.

## Grean extends Auth0 with B2B onboarding and authorization.

Essentially, Grean extends Auth0 with a layer of B2B onboarding and authorization capabilities. It’s a service for B2B applications – web, mobile or APIs – designed and built to work with Auth0. Together the two form a complete authentication and authorization solution for business to business collaboration.

Let me hand over to Flensted-Jensen to explain further…

---
So maybe you work at an insurance company and you manage a web application serving brokerage firms. Maybe your company works with fifty brokerage firms, maybe even a thousand. And most of the brokerage firms have several users in different capacities: most work as brokers proper, a few are in finance, one is a manager having access to all accounts, others work just with a subset of customers.

And these are some of your challenges:

* You need a way of getting each brokerage firm on board the web app,
* You need to authenticate their users in a way that’s convenient to them and secure enough to you,
* You need a way for the firms to manage the permissions of the users in the context of your application.

![Grean provides easy onboarding, authentication and authorization of B2B users in custom business apps](https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/4cB7M5egNnVMLMjZQkE2aD/ce6504cda988a89cc6c5110fe0869a5e/greansc)

## A full onboarding, authentication and authorization solution

Grean manages everything related to onboarding of business partners and their employees. Subsequently Grean provides management of access roles, that is, how each business partner and their employees are allowed to use your web, mobile, and API applications.

Grean was built to work seamlessly with Auth0 by integrating into the authentication flow, independent of actual authentication method. Put simply, Auth0 determines who you are, Grean determines which organization you belong to and what you will be allowed to do in the context of that organization and the application you are using.

<include src="TweetQuote" quoteText="Grean was built to work seamlessly with Auth0 by integrating into the authentication flow"/>

> “Auth0 determines who you are, Grean determines which organization you belong to and what you will be allowed to do.”

So getting back to our insurance company example (in fact this is not so much an example as it is a generalization of an actual existing customer - RSA Scandinavia, part of global, UK based insurance company RSA) we are able to address the three challenging areas you face:

1. Onboarding of organizations. Your partners and customers should be easy to onboard - either by your invitation or automatically.
2. Each business partner should be recognized as such: You manage what their organization can do, and they then manage what each of their users will be able to do with your applications.
3. When signing in through Auth0, the user information must be augmented with information about their organization and the user’s authorizations as assigned through the previous steps.

Grean couples with Auth0 to deliver all these features and provide a full business-to-business authentication and authorization solution.

---

## Easy to get started if you’re an existing Auth0 customer.

It’s easy to integrate Grean into your existing Auth0 tenants. Once you’ve signed up for Grean, you will be provided with a small piece of Javascript code to add as a rule to your Auth0 authentication pipeline.

Grean can also provide instructions on how to embed the user management UI into your web applications for your partners to use.

How Partners Make Authentication and Authorization Even Better

Auth0 has raised an additional $6.875 million in Series A funding, led once again by Bessemer Venture Partners and K9 Ventures bringing our funding total to $9.3 million

Only nine short months after our [previous funding announcement](https://auth0.com/blog/2014/09/17/big-milestone/), we are proud to announce that Auth0 has raised an additional $6.875 million in Series A funding, led once again by [Bessemer Venture Partners](http://www.bvp.com/) and [K9 Ventures](http://www.k9ventures.com/) bringing our funding total to $9.3 million.

We’re also proud to announce that our subscriber base has grown to over 24,000 developers at over 20,000 enterprises across more than 150 countries around the world. We’re humbled by the rapid growth that we’ve experienced -- the Series A funding will even further enhance our ability to provide developers and IT staff with strong identity security across their enterprises.


<include src="TweetQuote" quoteText="We are proud to announce that our subscriber base has grown to over 24,000 developers."/>

<img src="https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/3GakzdMNjbEcgDU0Rxc1Q7/bc23737480d3ea5a5754db1099bf150b/chart-3" class="expand" />

Auth0 was founded to simplify identity implementation and management for developers everywhere. Historically, implementing identity for anything more than the most trivial scenario had always been a massive pain. The friction of traditional identity implementation has often meant that developers are forced to trade strong identity security for on-time product launches. With Auth0, developers and IT staff can now quickly secure modern mobile and web applications, APIs and IoT devices by adding just a few lines of code, regardless of the complexity of the identity environment. Our goal is to make strong identity security easy to implement with no compromises.

<blockquote>
 “It’s now painfully obvious that insecure or incomplete authentication implementations are creating vulnerabilities, jeopardizing customer trust, and hindering enterprise adoption of cloud and mobile services. So Bessemer is thrilled to partner with the best identity team in the world to deliver secure login as a service — as easy to use as Twilio, SendGrid and Stripe.”

> _In the same way Twilio democratized access to SMS and voice communications, Auth0 developed an identity service to eliminate the growing complexity of authentication and authorization for developers. Auth0 has the dream team in authentication security, which is why developers are so quickly adopting their API as the de facto way to do logins._ **David Cowan**, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners.


I am also very proud to share that [Auth0](https://auth0.com) has crossed the 8,000 subscriber mark and is now used in 124 countries.



We were founded by developers for developers, with the goal of eliminating the pain of integrating authentication and authorization into apps and APIs. So we’re very happy that so many developers from enterprises both large and small are finding our service useful. We now deliver identity-as-a-service to not only the newest startups but also to the very largest enterprises, like [Schneider Electric](http://www.schneider-electric.com/), the global specialist in energy management, [Allegion](http://www.allegion.com/), the leading provider of security solutions for homes and businesses around the world, and [Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection](https://www.bhtp.com/), the Berkshire Hathaway travel insurance arm.

We’ve been told by our subscribers that we’re the most innovative identity company in the market today, so we are further pleased to announce that the world’s leader in innovation management and collaborative project management platform software, [Mindjet](http://mindjet.com), is now using Auth0 as their core identity component for their software.

<a target="_new"><div style="float: right;margin: 40px 0px 10px 10px;"><img style="display: block;border-radius: 100px;max-width: 80px;height: 80px;position: relative;margin: auto;" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/54N2lddRRrwW1opMninOWw/46c627a0d65bc403d9d762a2fd98406c/jPZqcYTW6x"/></div></a>

> _“We took a strategic, calculated bet on Auth0. By using Auth0's sophisticated identity infrastructure -- rather than building it ourselves -- we were able to assign two, full-time software engineers to developments directly related to Mindjet's core value proposition, which resulted in higher revenue while saving us a great deal of money.”_ **James Gardner**, SVP of Product at Mindjet

We are using our seed funds to further expand our [development team](http://auth0.com/jobs) and to expand our [sales](http://auth0.com/jobs) and [marketing](http://auth0.com/jobs) efforts.

We founded Auth0 to eliminate the pain of authentication and authorization for developers. We’re happy that we’ve been found useful by so many developers already, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.

## The Bootcamp content is Open Sourced on GitHub!

The content we delivered on the bootcamp was a mix of 30-minutes presentations, followed by time for practicing the concepts with simple excercises. This content represents what we would have liked to see when we started our companies. It also captures what we've learnt through the last months.

The best content is the one that people actually use and tweak over time. We decided to contribute it to the broader community so it becomes live.

### Our Vision

Argentina has a vibrant entrepeneur community. There are two accelerators and lots of startups.

There's quite a bit of content around the "soft" aspects of building a startup. There are many talks available from successful entrepeneurs, investors. There're meetups on marketing and pitch clinics. There's Palermo Valley. But we felt there were fewer opportunities for technical people to connect and share their experiences.

We often hear questions like:

* What __options__ do I have for storing data?
* What are the __pros/cons__ of each option?
* What are __common mistakes__ people make? How do I __avoid__ them?
* What does your __build environment__ look like?
* What __tools__ you use?
* How to tell whan something is __hype__ or __real__?

Given that last Saturday was such a good experience, we asked ourselves: why not do this more often?

So [stay tuned](http://twitter.com/auth0)...we'll have more news to share with you soon.
