Why Okta Stock Plunged on Wednesday
Cybersecurity specialist Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) took a tumble Wednesday, falling 14.6% through noon ET. The crazy thing is, Okta's news looked pretty good. Wall Street anticipated Okta would report fiscal Q1 2026 profits of $0.77 per share, adjusted for one-time items, on sales of $680.1 million. In fact, Okta said it earned $0.86 per share on sales of $688 million. Okta's Q1 earnings What's not to like about that? Well, there are a few caveats and quibbles. Revenue grew a respectable 12%, which is good. However, while Okta beat on "adjusted" earnings, its actual earnings, as calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), were a lot less than the adjusted figure -- just $0.35 per share. Still, that number was a lot better than last year's Q1, when Okta lost $0.24 per share. What's more, Okta reported positive free cash flow of $238 million for the quarter, roughly four times its reported "profit," and up 11% year over year, in line with revenue growth. Is Okta stock a sell? Turning to guidance, Okta told investors its sales will grow about 10% in Q2, and 9% to 10% for fiscal 2026 as a whole. The company didn't give GAAP earnings numbers, couching guidance in "adjusted" terms again. Still, the company's predictions of an $0.83 or $0.84 profit in Q2, and anywhere from $3.23 to $3.28 per share for the year, were all comfortably ahead of analyst estimates. So why are investors selling Okta stock today? I can only imagine it's the valuation that's spooking them. Priced at 24.5 times trailing free cash flow, Okta stock looks a bit rich for low-teens sales and FCF growth. And growth is slowing, too. It's not a great look for a supposed growth stock. Should you invest $1,000 in Okta right now?

IIJ Launches Safous Privileged Remote Access to Strengthen Security Across IT, OT, and IoT
Consolidates Zero Trust, PAM, and IAM into a single platform to streamline secure remote access and privileged account management. Helps organizations meet cybersecurity regulations through application-level controls and microsegmentation, reducing lateral movement and simplifying compliance. TOKYO, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, TSE Prime: 3774), a leading provider of Zero Trust security solutions, today announced the launch of Safous Privileged Remote Access, an integrated platform that combines Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Identity and Access Management (IAM) in a single, streamlined solution. Designed to address two of the most common ransomware attack vectors – unsecured remote access and compromised privileged accounts – Safous Privileged Remote Access helps organizations reduce risk, eliminate complexity, and unify access control across IT, OT, and IoT environments. The platform builds on IIJ's proven Safous Zero Trust architecture and now incorporates robust PAM capabilities that align with Gartner's Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM) criteria. By tightly monitoring and controlling privileged sessions, the solution delivers full visibility and control over sensitive systems and users. Key features include: Unified IT, OT, and IoT security:Supports secure remote access for operational technology, RPAM for corporate IT environments, and secure connectivity for IoT systems – providing holistic protection across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure. Integrated Zero Trust + PAM + IAM:Combines VPN-less Zero Trust connectivity with role-based privileged access and identity verification. This layered approach directly targets the core vulnerabilities exploited in modern ransomware and supply chain attacks. Microsegmentation for application-level control:Limits user access based on role and application, rather than broad network access, minimizing the risk of lateral movement and unauthorized entry across systems. Built-in compliance support:Simplifies adherence to global and regional cybersecurity regulations—including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST 800-171, and APAC-specific CIIO/NCII requirements—by consolidating critical controls into a single platform. "Integrating microsegmentation and privileged access controls into a unified Zero Trust framework, we empower enterprises to better protect their critical systems and data without adding unnecessary complexity," said Miki Tanaka, Global Business Director at IIJ. "Whether your infrastructure is air-gapped on-premises, operating in the cloud, reliant on legacy systems, or restricted to a single shared privileged account, Safous Privileged Remote Access delivers modern defenses and full operational traceability across every environment." Safous Privileged Remote Access is now available. For more information, visit About IIJ Founded in 1992, IIJ is one of Japan's leading Internet-access and comprehensive network solutions providers.

Mace, alleging assault, shares nude photo of herself during House hearing she says was taken without her consent
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) shared a photo of what she described as a "naked silhouette" of herself that she said was taken without her consent while renewing allegations of sexual abuse against multiple men, including her ex-fiancé, during a House subcommittee hearing Tuesday. The four men Mace has accused of crimes have repeatedly denied wrongdoing. The South Carolina Republican framed her testimony as part of a broader effort to advocate for stronger legal protections for victims of non-consensual recording and sexual misconduct. The remarkable moment from a sitting member of Congress came during a hearing for the House Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation Subcommittee, which Mace chairs, titled "Breach of Trust: Surveillance in Private Spaces.' "I would run through a brick wall to protect women and girls in South Carolina and to other potential victims,' Mace said during her remarks. 'I want you to know I have your back.' Along with the photo of herself, Mace presented a series of censored images of women, which she claimed were pulled from recordings belonging to her ex-fiancé and Charleston tech entrepreneur Patrick Bryant — who has denied Mace's allegations. Mace also said the photos of the unidentified women were taken without their consent. In a statement to POLITICO on Tuesday, Bryant called the accusations Mace made during the hearing 'false' and 'outrageous.' 'I have never raped anyone,' Bryant said. 'I have never hidden cameras. I have never harmed any woman. These accusations are not just false — they are malicious and deeply personal.' 'Nancy Mace made these claims only while standing in Congress, purportedly shielded by legal immunity,' Bryant continued. 'If she believed them to be true and there was evidence to support her accusations, she would say them outside the chamber — away from her public role and protections and pursue them through proper legal channels. She has not done so, because she cannot.' Mace's testimony follows a House floor speech she delivered in early February, accusing Bryant and three other men of rape, sex trafficking and recording sex acts with her and others without consent. Legal battles have emerged from her allegations. Mace faces a pending defamation lawsuit brought by one of the men she's accused, which was filed in March in federal court. Earlier this month, an attorney with the U.S. Attorney's Office in South Carolina told the court he would be representing Mace, a sign that Mace will likely claim her speech is protected under a clause in the Constitution that provides a legal shield for members of Congress for actions taken as part of their roles as lawmakers. Mace also sued one of the other accused men in state court earlier this month, claiming he 'repeatedly and maliciously defamed' her on social media.
