Impact of Okta Security Breach

March 29th Update: Pharos has investigated the Okta breach and can confirm the following:

• No Pharos products are impacted. This includes Pharos Cloud (Beacon), HP Secure Print & Insights, KM Consult, Uniprint and Blueprint.

• Pharos does not use Okta as an Identity Provider (IdP) for our corporate infrastructure or with any 3rd party (where that cloud provider supports SSO). Therefore this breach has no impact on our internal systems or most external systems.

• Pharos has contacted all of the relevant 3rd party suppliers and vendors, and none of them have reported having been impacted by Okta.

March 24th Update: Pharos is aware of the security breach with Okta. Our initial investigation indicates that Pharos products and services have NOT been impacted by the Okta breach. While Pharos uses SSO for most of the cloud services we rely on, they have not been impacted by the Okta breach. Pharos products -- Pharos Cloud / Beacon, Blueprint, and Uniprint do not rely on Okta and are not impacted. A more detailed official notice will be published once final investigations are completed.
