Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity
provider, today announced it has been included in the first-ever
StateRAMP Authorized Vendor List, a list of service providers whose
products and solutions have obtained a StateRAMP security status of
Active, In-Process, Pending, Ready, Provisional, or Authorized.
StateRAMP authorization gives government and procurement
officials confidence in a service provider’s data security
capabilities and provides a central location for sourcing StateRAMP
verified Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service
(SaaS), and/or Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions.
“Identity solutions are a necessary part of today’s IT
infrastructure for state and local government agencies given the
constant barrage of threats from cyber criminals,” said Dean
Scontras, Vice President of SLED at Okta. “Providing both citizens
and workforces with the most seamless and secure experiences
possible is at the core of what we do. Okta’s inclusion on the
first StateRAMP Authorized Vendor List demonstrates our commitment
to helping state and local governments drive secure digital
transformation across their platforms.”
Okta is one of the first modern Identity and Access Management
solutions to pursue StateRAMP authorization for both workforce and
citizen access. The Okta Identity Platform provides modern,
centralized and secure identity and access management for state and
local agencies across the country with faster time-to-value. The
Okta IDaaS Regulated Community Cloud package, currently undergoing
StateRAMP review, includes a number of components that may be used
to provide methods of authentication and provisioning control
including Okta Core, Okta Mobile, Okta Verify, Okta Directory
Agent, and Okta IWA Agent.
As part of the StateRAMP authorization process, the State of
Arizona is serving as the initial SLED government sponsor for Okta.
The Okta state and local government team have been working with the
Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology (ASET) Office for the past
four years to deliver identity solutions across state agencies.
Government agencies can trust Okta IDaaS Regulated Community
Cloud to provide highly secure and reliable solutions to manage
identities and streamline processes within their organization.
Okta’s modern identity and access management solutions enable
digital transformation within government agencies by providing a
simplified user experience for their workforce and customers, in
addition to enhancing security.
