Given the ease with which Okta was recently penetrated, any company that asked me "should we use a SaaS offering for any sort of access control" would get a firm no. That said, I'm sure you'll make absolutely rude amounts of money with this. So good on you.

This is such a silly argument. It took Okta 11 years of being in business to get "hacked" once. What makes you think you'll be better at security than a vendor whose livelihood depends on it? Do you build your own door locks also?

You presuppose the current time isn't less conducive to good security in SaaS companies, especially as they grow past a certain size.
