# Okta Promotes Public-Sector Identity Security

MeriTalk and sponsor Okta are promoting a gated educational ebook on public-sector identity security that examines risks beyond single sign-on and multifactor authentication, including session hijacking, lateral movement, unmanaged machine identities, and shadow AI. The material is not an RFP or contract announcement, but it reflects continued federal interest in zero trust, identity and access management, and cyber resilience.

- Procurement teams can use the ebook’s threat areas as a checklist when assessing whether current identity-security requirements address risks beyond SSO and MFA.
- Contractors providing identity, access-management, or cyber-resilience capabilities can align their offerings with these specific concerns; the signal does not identify a solicitation, funding, or award.
