**BELLEVUE, Wash. – July 22, 2020 –** The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, today announced new growth and additions to its [Partner Program](https://auth0.com/partners). In the last five months alone, the program has outperformed all of 2019, added more than 20 new Solutions and Technology Partners from key regions, and expanded to new regions, including [Asia Pacific](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-hires-former-aws-channel-head-jason-teo-to-lead-efforts-in-asia-pacific/) to support growing demand for digital identity management. 

As the world embraces the “new normal”, new application development and digital transformation are driving continued growth of Auth0’s Partner Program. Today [83% of applications require authentication](https://auth0.com/resources/whitepapers/state-app-assembly-2020), such as sign up (registration), sign in, and security and compliance functionality for protecting user identities. Channel partners play a primary role in helping organizations implement identity management in a way that works with their architecture, so they can bring applications to market faster and focus on their core value proposition for customers. 

Auth0 is answering global demand for identity management with new partnerships in key regions, including:

* [Cognizant](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-expands-global-partner-network-with-cognizant/) (Nasdaq: CTSH) – Global professional services provider focused on digital transformation
* [NTT DATA](https://www.nttdata.com/global/en/) (TSE: 9613) – Global IT services provider and Auth0’s first GSI partner in Japan
* [Abacus](http://www.abacuscambridge.com) – Global business transformation services industry pioneer across MENA and the UK
* [PwC Germany](https://www.pwc.de/en.html) – Leading auditing and consulting services organization in Germany
* [Idento](https://idento.fr/) – Leading identity and access management consultancy and Auth0’s first partner in France
* [Softchoice](https://www.softchoice.com/) – One of the largest IT solutions and managed services providers in North America
* [OSC Korea](http://www.osckorea.com/) – Digital transformation specialist and Auth0’s first strategic partner in South Korea

“With rapid innovation along the identity value chain, flexible solutions for authentication, verification, and federation of identities are vital to allow convenient and secure customer experiences,” according to Thomas Hammer, an Open Banking expert for PwC Germany. “Especially with the increasing prevalence of identity ecosystems, it is important for businesses to provide interoperable, frictionless, and easy-to-use identity experiences that are an asset to their customers rather than an obstacle,” adds Maximilian Harmsen, Digital Identity Leader for PwC Germany.

Auth0 has also launched technology integrations with major players &mdash; [Amazon EventBridge](https://auth0.com/blog/get-more-out-of-your-auth0-logs-with-amazon-eventbridge/), [Microsoft Azure Event Grid](https://auth0.com/blog/integrate-azure-event-grid-with-auth0/), and [Datadog](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-partners-with-datadog-to-deliver-mission-critical-identity-data-in-near-real-time/) &mdash; and deepened its partnership with Amazon Web Services ([AWS](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-joins-the-aws-partner-network-global-startup-program/)), including recent selection as a [AWS Security Competency Partner](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/find/partnerdetails/?id=001E000000YKGRTIA5&did=pa_card&trk=pa_card) for security and technical expertise.

“The marked increase in demand for identity management has been an incredible catalyst for creating valued partnerships with leading firms globally,” said Bill Lapcevic, VP of business development at Auth0. “Customers see the utmost value from Auth0 when they combine the tight relationships they have with our mutual partners and Auth0’s best in class identity solution. Our partner relationships substantially enhance the ability to reach new territories and regions with Auth0. We look forward to working with our new partners to implement Auth0 and help their customers experience the immediate benefit of an identity and authentication solution designed to allow the addition of new capabilities and functionality over time.”

Seasoned partner executive joins the technology unicorn to grow partner business across APAC; Auth0 also announces new partner in Korea



**SINGAPORE, 30 April 2020:** The [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) Identity Platform, a product unit within Okta, has committed to growing its partner sales across Asia Pacific through the appointment of channel veteran [Jason Teo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonteocj/?originalSubdomain=sg) as the company’s first partner chief in the region.

In this new role as APAC Head of Partnerships and Alliances, Teo’s mandate is two-fold: to build and grow the partner ecosystem in the region; and to execute a partner strategy that will diversify sales and accelerate growth.

Teo has extensive experience helping technology companies expand across Asia and plans to draw upon his vast network and established relationships with partners and system integrators to help support Auth0’s ambitious growth plans in Asia Pacific.

Regional Director for Auth0 in Asia Pacific, Richard Marr, welcomed Teo as an integral part of the company’s growth strategy. “Our differentiated identity platform is seeing adoption in all market sectors and geographies; we’ve experienced consistently high growth across Asia Pacific and invested strongly in the region with three offices and a team spanning South East Asia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and India,” said Marr. 

“Building partnerships in APAC is the next important step for Auth0 as we continue to expand locally, and we’re very pleased to have Jason at the helm,” added Marr.

As part of Auth0’s expansion in the region, it has partnered with digital transformation specialist, [OSC Korea](http://www.osckorea.com/). “We are experts in helping our customers to accelerate the digital transformation experience by providing Open Source, microservices architecture, DevOps CI/CD consulting and deployment,” said Jay Kim, CEO at OSC Korea. “To best support our customers, we are working with Auth0 as the identity and authentication solution that can be easily integrated and improve business performance.”

Teo has held leadership positions in various companies including Amazon Web Services, where he was the first Head of Channels and Alliances for ASEAN, launching and establishing its partner ecosystem across the region. His career also includes building the Cloud Business Unit for IBM in Singapore and being the first person on the ground for BlackBerry in Singapore, managing their telco partners across Asia Pacific.

According to Teo, finding the right partners is vital to help Auth0’s customers adopt a cloud-native solution for identity management. He joined the U.S.-based unicorn as he believes Auth0 is creating meaningful technology that can be applied across industries and to organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises.

“I am thrilled to be part of such a high-growth company and lead the effort around its [Partner Program](https://auth0.com/partners) expansion in APAC. It takes a whole ecosystem to get our customers up and running, which is why it’s so important we have the interests of all our stakeholders at heart to provide the best possible service,” said Teo.

“We are working with our major global partner network while actively cultivating new local partner relationships across the region, ensuring our offerings are localized and relevant to the needs of each market,” Teo added. 

Auth0 has joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) [Partner Network](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-joins-the-aws-partner-network-global-startup-program/) (APN) Global Startup Program and recently announced global partnerships with [Cognizant](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-expands-global-partner-network-with-cognizant/) and [Globant](https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-partner-program-accelerates-global-growth/) as it expands its [Partner Program](https://auth0.com/partners) in APAC and around the world.

Auth0 Hires Former AWS Channel Head, Jason Teo, to Lead Efforts in Asia Pacific

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.

Auth0 Announces Partnership with AWS for IAM Session Tags


**BELLEVUE, Wash. — October 7, 2019 —** [Auth0](https://auth0.com/), a global leader in Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), today announced significant momentum for its [Partner Program](https://auth0.com/partners) with the addition of new partners from key regions around the world. The surge of new Solutions and Technology Partners from the U.S., Canada, South America, Northern and Southern Europe demonstrates how integral identity management is to technology integrators. To lead the continued growth of the program globally, [Bill Lapcevic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/blapcevic/) has joined the company as VP of business development.

Worldwide spending on digital transformation efforts is predicted to reach $1.97 trillion in 2022, according to IDC. This monumental effort is driving the urgent demand for robust systems integrators and technology consultants to assist with these efforts. One of the key components of any digital transformation initiative is [identity management](https://auth0.com/learn/identity-management-drives-digital-transformation/). Given the complexity of identity, partners are rapidly signing on with Auth0 for its technology excellence, documentation, training, and support, resulting in a 440% growth of the program in the past year.

Auth0's newest partners include:

-   [Globant](https://www.globant.com/#home) — Global, digitally-native systems integrator focused on digital and cognitive transformation

-   [NetBR](https://www.netbr.com.br/) — Identity software integrator and Auth0's first partner in Brazil

-   [Versett](https://versett.com/) — Digital strategy consultancy and Auth0's first partner in Canada

-   [Nixu](https://www.nixu.com/) — Holistic European cybersecurity services company with operations in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Benelux and Romania

-   [Soft Strategy](http://www.softstrategy.it/) — Consulting firm specializing in digital trust and Auth0's first partner in Italy

"Our mission is to help our customers prepare for and succeed in any digital and cognitive future," said Gastón Fourcade, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. "Identity management is a critical step in any transformation process. We leverage the latest technologies and platforms in our customers to deliver business-ready solutions and Auth0 proves to be a solid solution to support customers in those transformations."

Known for its comprehensive, developer-friendly documentation, Auth0 is strengthening its focus on technology training and enablement for partners, most notably through the launch of its new [Partner Portal](http://partners.auth0.com/). Auth0 partners can use the Portal to find the latest news, content and training materials, or register a new opportunity directly. Auth0 also recently launched an [AWS-focused microsite](https://auth0.com/learn/aws-auth0-iam-platform/) to promote its availability on AWS Marketplace.

"It's an exciting time to join Auth0 to build on the incredible momentum our Partner Program has achieved. Our partners are key to extending Auth0's reach worldwide," said Lapcevic. "When our partners combine their skills, best practices, and products with Auth0's extensibility and customization capabilities, customers receive a holistic world-class solution for authentication and identity that others just can't match."

Prior to joining Auth0, Lapcevic served as chief operating officer for Sentry.io responsible for the company's go-to-market business. He was also the third employee at New Relic, where he built a vibrant business development and partner program, and saw the company from inception past initial public offering. He will be responsible for owning and managing all global channels and partnerships at Auth0.

“Auth0 introduces pre-release program, Zero To Launch, giving qualifying customers exclusive early access to new features and functionality.”



The pace of innovation in this new world of always-on cloud services is phenomenal.  At Auth0 we live and breathe it everyday – continually releasing updates, service enhancements and amazing new features.

<include src="TweetQuote" quoteText="The pace of innovation in this new world of always-on cloud services is phenomenal."/>

More often than not these improvements to our service stem from the way our customers and partners use our platform.  This eco-system continually challenges us with new use cases, scenarios and requirements - customers, technology partners and solution providers themselves pushing to drive innovation in what they do.  Frankly, it makes me pretty excited!

## 3…2…1… Zero To Launch

<div class="row" style="padding-bottom: 40px;">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3" style="text-align: center;"><img style="margin: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; max-width: 100px;" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/23aumh6u8s0i/1mfMhHJkKI4CRbU9n22BPd/f04bfbc0e9d2320e5a7489f2ae8e334b/logo" alt="" /></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-9">

That’s why today I’m pleased to announce our new pre-release program, Zero To Launch.  This program will give qualifying customers and partners exclusive early access to new service enhancements and features plus support and resources to get things happening.  It’s seems a fitting way to continually give more value back to the incredible eco-system of customers and partners who challenge us to do more.

Of course, during the pre-release period, we’ll be eagerly listening out for your feedback and gaining a deeper understanding of how you’re using the new features. It’ll help us make final tweaks to UI and documentation as well as helping our engineering and support teams prepare for general availability.  This isn’t beta testing – features released through Zero To Launch can be used in your live projects.

## What’s in it For You?

<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-9">

I haven’t met too many devs, system architects or even just general technology types who don’t love getting their hands on something new.  You can expect to gain knowledge, to be first and to create something new.  It’s a chance to work with like minded people who enjoy pushing the boundaries to create something better.  In fact, we’re developing a recognition and rewards component to ensure you’re honored for your valuable contributions…you could be our first Auth0 MVP!

From a business perspective, it also allows you to look forward and plan – maybe fix a problem, unlock new ways of working, remove a blocker from an existing project or interact with customers in new and different ways.

## Mission 1: API Authorization-as-a-Service

In launching the program, we’re also launching availability of the first pre-release feature. If you have an API that stores data from users or exposes data from a service and you want to open that API to 3rd party developers, like Facebook or Dropbox does with their APIs, then this is for you. Kick-start a 3rd party developer ecosystem faster than ever before!


## Get on Board

Zero To Launch is currently by invitation only.  Customers and Partners must meet certain criteria including being a paid subscriber or [**recognized technology or solution partner**](https://auth0.com/partners).  If you haven’t received an invitation but think this sounds pretty awesome, then feel free to [**reach out to me directly**](mailto:clayton@auth0.com?subject=ZeroToLaunch) to see if you qualify.
