Okta welcomes US DoD and mission partners to Okta Identity Governance, Workflows, and AI

Okta welcomes US Department of Defense and approved mission partners to Okta Identity Governance, Workflows, and Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI

In a landscape defined by rapid efficiency drives and major policy reveals, US public sector entities, particularly the Department of Defense (DoD), require unwavering assurance in an identity management infrastructure. Recognizing the critical need for robust and compliant solutions, Okta announces significant audit-ready milestones, bringing superior, commercially available identity innovations to agency missions.

Okta Identity Governance, Workflows, and Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI are now audit ready for Okta for US Military (DoD Impact Level 4). Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI is also audit ready for Okta for Government High (FedRAMP High ATO). This powerful combination provides a unified foundation for implementing core security tenets emphasized by frameworks like DoD Instruction 8520.04 ("Identity Assurance") and others, as shown in the table below.

Smarter identity, stronger security: Okta's value for the modern DoD

Traditional identity management often relies on static decisions, and static security doesn’t work against DoD’s dynamic threats. Okta offers intelligent capabilities, like context-aware access and automated risk-based responses to streamline operations and enhance security in ways that legacy systems can't.

Okta intends to obtain a 3PAO audit immediately and submit these capabilities for incorporation into our existing Provisional Authorization.
