The agreement will also see Okta’s solutions “streamline the team’s digital infrastructure, ensuring seamless and secure access for its partners, fans, and employees.”
The tie-up is essentially aimed at improving the security and access management of the McLaren F1 digital operations.
Zak Brown, chief executive at McLaren Racing, said: “This strategic partnership will enhance our team's performance, efficiency, and security off the track, enabling us to stay focused on building upon last season's on-track successes."
Other McLaren F1 commercial partners include brands such as Mastercard, OKX, Allwyn, and Ecolab.
