Off-topic nitpick: is the way to get people interested in what your software company is doing about %thing% to slap the suffix -"Ops" to whatever %thing% is? I've noticed it in some curious and interesting uses lately. CrimeOps being the most recent one via this very post.
Maybe not a nitpick, I don't mean to dismiss Okta's endeavors; but it's certainly something that's caused a flutter of the eyebrow and an almost automatic reaching of the hand to ponderously scratch the beard.
- meowface 6y agoI think "CrimeOps" is somewhat tongue-in-cheek here and is making fun of the trend you're referring to. But, yes, it's started becoming a meme and marketing term since "DevOps".

- grugq 6y agoyup. I've been here for years. Only comment when it is relevant, so maybe once every couple years.

And guess who is the author here... Glad to meet you here, the grugq!
- grugq 6y agohi.
