I'm left a bit perplexed here. It sounds to me like Cloudflare did the right thing, but I don't understand why they still want to use Okta moving forward. Surely instead of "recommending" a better security posture, they should tell Okta that they won't continue to use them as a vendor unless they follow a stricter security policy?

First, you are assuming Okta is worse than any other vender. It is very very very possible that other authentication venders are either just as bad or even worse. Remember, no one knows how to build an unhackable computer, service, or system. Second, moving venders is VERY hard. It can take years to do it. I have worked at another cloud provider and moving from an old system to a new one is a huge undertaking. You do not just say, “See you, I am out of here.”. It can take years of work and planning. Third, you do not know what CloudFlare is doing internally. My guess is they have already spoken to Okta several times about the problems they have had. At this point, CloudFlare may actually be moving off Okta or thinking about moving off of Okta.
