Safeguarding digital assets requires more than traditional perimeter defenses. Identity has become the new security perimeter, making identity-driven cybersecurity essential for modern businesses. Active Cyber and Okta have joined forces to deliver a comprehensive, end-to-end protection strategy that reduces risk, enhances operational efficiency, and keeps organizations secure.
Why Identity Matters in Modern Cybersecurity
Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, with compromised credentials remaining a leading cause of data breaches. Protecting identities is critical, as they grant access to sensitive systems and data. Without proper safeguards, organizations face not only security risks but also regulatory penalties and operational disruptions.
Active Cyber and Okta’s partnership focuses on a proactive, identity-centric approach that helps businesses secure every user, device, and application across their ecosystem.
Comprehensive Identity and Access Management (IAM)
At the core of this collaboration is a full-spectrum Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategy that simplifies and strengthens security:
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Okta’s SSO reduces password fatigue and security gaps by allowing secure, centralized access to multiple applications with a single set of credentials.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adding an extra layer of protection, Okta’s MFA ensures only verified users can access critical systems.
- Lifecycle Management: Active Cyber implements Okta’s automated user provisioning and deprovisioning, ensuring secure onboarding and instant removal of access when roles change.
- Adaptive Access Controls: With risk-based authentication, access decisions adjust based on context, such as location or device, to minimize potential threats.
These IAM tools, expertly deployed by Active Cyber, provide a seamless and secure experience across the entire organization.
Reducing Risk with Zero Trust Security
The joint solution emphasizes a Zero Trust approach, ensuring that trust is never assumed and always verified:
- Least Privilege Access: Only authorized users receive the minimum access necessary to perform their tasks, reducing the attack surface.
- Continuous Authentication: Real-time monitoring ensures that even after initial access, identity signals are continuously evaluated for anomalies.
- Endpoint Security Integration: Okta integrates with leading endpoint protection platforms, while Active Cyber ensures smooth implementation for comprehensive coverage.
By aligning with Zero Trust principles, businesses can better protect their data from both external threats and insider risks.
Enhancing Operational Efficiency
Stronger security doesn’t have to come at the expense of productivity. Active Cyber and Okta streamline identity management processes, freeing up IT resources and improving user experiences:
- Automated Workflows: Reduce manual tasks with policy-driven automations for user access, approvals, and identity verification.
- Faster Onboarding: New hires can access essential tools on day one with pre-configured role-based access controls.
- Simplified Compliance: Built-in reporting tools help organizations meet data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA more effectively.
