Events We Are Sponsoring

Artificial intelligence is moving fast, and agencies are eager to take advantage of its potential. But as AI adoption grows, so do the challenges of securing users, data, applications, and autonomous agents. In this new environment, identity is no longer simply an access management tool. It's a critical component of mission resiliency.
Join us online on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT to hear government and industry experts from Okta’s Identity Summit as they discuss how agencies can build a secure foundation for AI adoption, manage machine and human identities at scale, and maintain trust across increasingly complex environments.

As state and local government agencies and higher education institutions continue their digital transformation, security leaders face the challenge of strengthening cybersecurity while delivering secure, seamless access to users and critical applications—all while defending against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. From protecting citizen data to strengthening Zero Trust architectures, public sector organizations need a connected strategy across identity, security and cloud infrastructure to reduce risk, improve resilience and support long-term modernization. Palo Alto Networks, Okta and AWS have partnered to deliver modern security architectures that reduce risk and support compliant modernization. Join us in Charleston, WV, to:

Join Okta, CrowdStrike, Zscaler and Rubrik for an exclusive event at F1 Arcade in Denver, designed for SLED cybersecurity and IT leaders. This interactive session will explore the evolving cyber threat landscape and how a unified approach across identity, endpoint, network and data protection can help organizations strengthen their security posture and better defend against modern attacks.
Hear directly from security experts and current users as they discuss the challenges facing SLED organizations, lessons learned from emerging threats and how teams are evolving their strategies around Zero Trust, threat protection and cyber resilience.
Topics will include:
- Protecting identity as a critical line of defense
- Advancing Zero Trust access and secure connectivity
- Detecting and responding to evolving threats in real time
- Improving resilience and recovery from ransomware and data loss
- Building a more connected, modern approach to cybersecurity

If your customers have been racing toward the CMMC Phase 2 deadline, the July 13th announcement that the DoD suspended Phase 2 for a 60-day review probably landed hard. But for partners, the reality is: Third-party assessments are simply the inspection mechanism; the core requirements your DIB clients must meet haven't changed.
You are invited to join Okta on October 15th for a virtual Partner Enablement session on Okta’s role in the CMMC landscape. We will demonstrate how Okta’s FedRAMP-authorized Identity Cloud serves as the foundational element of a compliant architecture, mapping directly to nearly half of the required controls.
The enablement will highlight:
- Beyond the Assessment: Why identity-first security remains the bedrock of CMMC and DFARS 7012 compliance.
- The Okta Advantage: A deep dive into how our Identity Cloud features map to specific CMMC controls.
- Proven Success: Insights into how your peers are leveraging Okta to help their clients meet their assessment goals efficiently
Register today and learn how to help the DIB become compliant quickly! The training will be followed by a networking session on the rooftop of the Okta office.

Designed specifically for the public sector, this summit delivers insights you can act on and alliances you can trust!

Join CrowdStrike, Okta, Zscaler and Rubrik for an exclusive Lunch & Learn in Tempe, AZ designed for SLED cybersecurity professionals. This interactive session will break down today’s evolving threat landscape and explore how a connected approach to security can help your organization better prevent, detect and respond to modern attacks. Cyberattacks are becoming more coordinated, automated and difficult to detect across identity, network and endpoint layers. This session will walk through how attacks unfold and how aligning your security strategy across these domains can stop them. Agenda Highlights:

As transit agencies and transportation organizations accelerate digital transformation, they face a growing wave of sophisticated cyber threats—many driven by AI technologies. From credential phishing to identity-based lateral movement across corporate networks and operational technology (OT), attackers are faster, stealthier and more coordinated than ever.
This event features a discussion around:
- Strategies to protect passenger services and rider confidence while optimizing fleet management and transit operations.
- Real-life scenarios where AI-powered identity tools are used to detect and prevent sophisticated identity-based attacks before they breach critical operational networks.
- How to safeguard a distributed operational workforce—ensuring a secure user experience for dispatchers, drivers, contractors and administrative staff while enhancing threat detection and response.
This webinar is a valuable opportunity to see how Okta's AI-powered identity security helps transit and transportation organizations stay ahead of fast-moving cyber threats.
