McLaren Racing tap Okta to enhance digital security

McLaren Racing have signed a multi-year partnership with identity and access management specialist Okta.

From the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season, the San Francisco-based company will feature on McLaren’s racing cars, as well as on the uniforms worn by Lando Norris and Oscar Pisatri.

Under the agreement, Okta will revamp the team’s digital infrastructure, facilitating access for their partners, fans, and staff.

Okta will aim to enhance McLaren’s operations and security, in order to support the UK-based Formula 1 outfit both on and off the track.

The Constructors’ champions’ latest partnership comes in the buildup to the 2025 season, which gets underway in March with the Australian Grand Prix.

“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,” said Zak Brown, CEO at McLaren Racing.

Todd McKinnon, CEO and Co-Founder at Okta, added, “Okta is proud to partner with McLaren and we look forward to identifying how we can help protect the identities of their millions of fans, partners and employees across the globe.

“By coupling speed with security, together we’ll be able to strengthen the team’s confidence that their identities are secure so they can focus on their performance on track.”
