Introduction
Tech{Camps} IAM Fundamentals is a virtual workshop scheduled for August 2026 that provides hands-on training in identity and access management using Okta Workforce Identity. The session targets IT professionals, security practitioners and administrators who need practical experience implementing core IAM capabilities. With organisations facing mounting pressure to secure workforce identities against increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks while simultaneously improving user experience, foundational IAM skills have become essential across industries.
About This Event
This online workshop runs for two and a half hours and is offered at two different times to accommodate participants across time zones. The format emphasises practical, hands-on lab exercises rather than passive instruction, allowing attendees to work directly with Okta Workforce Identity in a guided environment. Upon completion, participants retain access to a live demo environment where they can continue experimenting and building on the skills acquired during the session.
Core Training Topics
The workshop covers several interconnected areas of identity and access management. User lifecycle automation addresses the challenge of provisioning and deprovisioning user accounts efficiently as employees join, move within, or leave an organisation. Automating these processes reduces administrative burden while closing security gaps that occur when access rights are not promptly revoked.
Application integration forms another core component, teaching participants how to connect enterprise applications to a centralised identity platform. This enables single sign-on capabilities and consistent access policies across the application portfolio.
The session also addresses modern authentication approaches, specifically phishing-resistant and passwordless authentication. Traditional password-based security has proven increasingly vulnerable to credential theft and social engineering attacks. Phishing-resistant methods, such as those based on FIDO2 standards, eliminate shared secrets that attackers can intercept, while passwordless approaches improve both security posture and user experience by removing the friction of password management.
Device access management and identity governance round out the curriculum. Device trust ensures that only managed or compliant devices can access corporate resources, while identity governance provides visibility into who has access to what and whether that access remains appropriate over time.
Who Should Attend
The workshop suits IT administrators, security engineers and identity practitioners who are new to Okta Workforce Identity or seeking to strengthen their foundational IAM knowledge. Organisations evaluating workforce identity solutions or beginning IAM modernisation initiatives may find particular value in the hands-on format, which allows technical staff to gain practical experience in a low-risk environment before implementing changes in production systems.
