State, local, and education (SLED) organizations face unique cybersecurity and compliance challenges—balancing security with accessibility, meeting regulatory requirements, and managing complex identity ecosystems. With the increasing number of cyber threats targeting public institutions, Identity and Access Management (IAM) has never been more critical.

At Active Cyber, we specialize in helping SLED organizations implement and optimize Okta’s IAM solutions, ensuring stronger security, seamless access management, and compliance with government regulations. Whether you're securing employee and student access, protecting citizen data, or managing third-party vendor credentials, we help you build a future-proof IAM strategy that keeps your organization secure and compliant.

Why Identity & Access Management (IAM) Matters for SLED

Public sector organizations are prime targets for cyberattacks, ransomware, and data breaches. Without a strong IAM framework, agencies, schools, and local governments risk unauthorized access, identity theft, and compliance violations.

Here’s why modernizing identity security with Active Cyber + Okta is a game-changer:

✅ Stronger Compliance – Meet CJIS, FERPA, HIPAA, NIST, and SOC 2 requirements with centralized identity management.
✅ Seamless User Access – Securely manage students, employees, and citizens while reducing IT complexity.
✅ Zero Trust Security – Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and risk-based access policies for stronger security.
✅ Automation & Efficiency – Streamline onboarding/offboarding with Okta Lifecycle Management (LCM) to reduce IT workload.
✅ Secure Remote Access – Enable government employees and educators to work safely from anywhere.

How Active Cyber Helps SLED Organizations Securely Adopt Okta

At Active Cyber, we don’t just implement Okta—we customize and optimize it for your unique SLED security and compliance needs. Here’s how:
