Press Kit for Eric Olden


Eric Olden is widely recognized as one of the architects of identity management on the internet. He created the first single sign-on product for web applications, launched the first Identity as a Service company and co-authored the ubiquitous SAML identity federation standard which allows users to move seamlessly between secure websites without relogging in. Like when you navigate from your online banking site to redeem points on a travel site.
He is currently CEO and co-founder of Strata Identity which allows companies to mix and match incompatible cloud identity systems, saving customers millions of dollars and months of manual labor per project.
Strata Identity’s customers include major brands such as Kroger, Navy Federal Credit Union, Publix, and Annexus. The company has been named a “Cool Vendor” by leading analyst firm Gartner, a SINET16 Innovator, a top cyber security startup by several media outlets and was runner up for Most Innovative Company at the 2021 RSA Conference.
