Comprehensive Security Platforms Move Strategic Defense Forward Bob.Keaveney_u64t Fri, 09/11/2026 - 11:47 Root Insurance is an industry upstart, leveraging advanced technology to help keep customer premiums low. The Columbus, Ohio-based company uses smartphone sensors and telematics to gather data on members, delivering discounts to its safest drivers. It also provides its entire customer experience through its mobile app. Customers love the model, as shown by its 30% increase in net income in 2025. But a comprehensive security platform is needed to make it work. Okta’s identity and access management solution is essential to the company’s security success. “We needed a comprehensive platform that could secure our distributed and cloud-native workforce, as well as support rapid growth,” says Srini Srinivasan, CISO and head of IT for Root Insurance. A comprehensive security platform reduces the risks posed by the sprawl of point solutions common in many organizations. Instead of inefficiency, integration fragility and inconsistent processes, organizations get consolidated workflows and single-pane-of-glass visibility. Streamlined incident investigation workflows, consolidated reporting and lower training requirements for security personnel top the list of added benefits.
