Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are the backbone of the global economy—but they’re also prime targets for cyber threats. With limited IT resources and growing security demands, SMBs need solutions that offer enterprise-level protection without enterprise-level complexity or costs. That’s where Active Cyber and Okta step in, delivering a powerful partnership designed to help SMBs strengthen their security postures while remaining cost-effective and scalable.

Why SMBs Need Smarter Security

The cybersecurity landscape is evolving, and threats are no longer limited to large enterprises. SMBs face increasing risks, from data breaches to ransomware attacks, often with fewer resources to mitigate them. At the same time, growing businesses require secure access for remote teams, contractors, and expanding customer bases—all without overburdening IT teams.

Active Cyber and Okta offer SMBs a streamlined approach to security that simplifies identity management, protects critical assets, and scales with growth.

Simplifying Identity Management

Managing multiple accounts across various platforms can quickly become overwhelming for SMBs. Okta’s identity and access management (IAM) solutions simplify this by providing:

• Single Sign-On (SSO): A single, secure login for all business applications, reducing password fatigue and improving user convenience.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Strengthened access security with flexible MFA options, adding layers of protection without friction.
• Adaptive Access Controls: Dynamically adjusting security requirements based on factors like location or device, ensuring smarter access decisions.

Active Cyber customizes these tools for SMB environments, making implementation seamless and ensuring businesses can maintain security without adding complexity.

Cost-Effective Security Solutions

SMBs often operate on tight budgets, making it essential to balance security with cost efficiency. Active Cyber and Okta help SMBs achieve both by:

• Reducing IT Overhead: Automating access management reduces manual tasks, freeing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
• Minimizing Breach Risks: Proactive identity security minimizes vulnerabilities, potentially saving businesses from costly data breaches and downtime.
• Flexible Pricing Models: Okta’s scalable licensing ensures businesses only pay for what they need, while Active Cyber ensures optimal configuration for maximum value.

Scalability for Growing Businesses

As SMBs expand, so do their security requirements. Active Cyber and Okta provide flexible solutions that scale effortlessly with your business, ensuring:

• Seamless Employee Onboarding: Automated identity provisioning means new hires can securely access the tools they need from day one.
• Consistent Compliance Management: Built-in security features help SMBs stay compliant with regulations like GDPR and CCPA as they grow.
• Cloud-Ready Security: Cloud-based IAM solutions ensure secure access, whether employees work in-office, remotely, or across multiple locations.
