Identity Management Service Okta Receives FedRAMP Certification

Cloud identity management provider Okta has received FedRAMP certification with Department of Justice sponsorship, meeting compliance requirements of more than 300 controls.

“FedRAMP is considered the gold standard, with the most stringent set of security controls for cloud companies,” said Mark Settle, CIO at Okta. “Okta’s achievement of FedRAMP certification will make it easy for government agencies to attain the benefits of the cloud—improved user experience, productivity, security and cost savings—for the public at scale and with great impact.”

According to Settle, cloud capabilities are becoming increasingly important for expanding and enabling application access outside agency networks.

“We talk about the world being always on these days,” said Settle, adding that people need more and more flexibility in accessing applications when not using company devices. “The distinctions between work life and private life have blurred.”
