UPDATE - Carahsoft Announces Okta and LexisNexis Risk Solutions Alliance to Fight Cyber Fraud
21 Junho 2022 - 6:15PM
Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions
Provider®, today announced an alliance with identity authentication
provider Okta and LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a leading provider of
data, analytics and technology, to help government fight cyber
fraud. The alliance provides state and local governments with a
risk-based authentication solution that is easily scalable, offers
versatile authentication choices to minimize user friction, and
provides online self-service options for ease of administration and
audit ability.
Carahsoft’s new vendor provider, LexisNexis Risk Solutions,
combines its strengths with long-standing vendor provider, Okta.
The result is a powerful solution that provides government agencies
with a multi-layered approach for optimal identity authentication
without interrupting the user’s access to services. Verifying
personally identifiable information (PII) is at the core. The
approach starts with strong identity proofing and then verifies
identity with strong authentication. Key products to the approach
include:
- LexisNexis Risk
Solutions leverage insights from data assets to digitally
determine whether the user logging in is authentic.
- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions
LexID® matches records of users as they
move through life and change over time, giving a complete and
precise picture of a person rather than a single snapshot.
- Okta Identity Cloud centrally manages
identities at scale and integrates with a host of
applications—on-premises or in the cloud—through open standards and
thousands of pre-built integrations.
- Okta Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication
allows agencies to align their authentication practices to their
internal risk tolerance by determining which authentication factors
to apply to a particular user in a particular situation given
contextual use information and business rules as configured by the
agency.
- Okta ThreatInsight
allows agencies to enable additional protection facilitated by
Okta’s cloud model that identifies potentially malicious IP
addresses and proactively blocks known threats. This combination
helps prevent account takeovers and keeps users in control of their
government accounts.
“Through our long-term partnership with Okta and this new
partnership with LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Carahsoft, and our
reseller partners, we are enabling government agencies to fight a
wide range of fraud ranging from unemployment to social services,”
said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft President. “We have combined our
strengths and expertise to provide the government agencies we serve
with a better, ever-evolving solution to take on sophisticated
cybercriminal networks.”
“Facing a constant barrage of threats from cybercriminals, it’s
more important than ever that state and local governments have a
modern and secure risk-based authentication solution,” said Maureen
Little, Vice President, Technology Partnerships at Okta. “Working
hand-in-hand with LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Okta is able to
provide the most seamless and secure experiences possible to help
combat cyber fraud.”
The alliance enhances public trust in the government’s digital
services by reducing fraud through:
- Managing identities and access from the cloud, freeing staff to
focus on helping constituents in need.
- Once initially proofed, offering
continued identity protection with strong yet simple, multi-factor
authentication to ensure users are who they say they are.
“Cybercriminals have evolved their tactics throughout the
pandemic, and fraud prevention companies must continually innovate
and rise to the challenge from domestic and transnational criminal
groups,” said Matt Harcourt, Vice President, Channels and Marketing
at LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government. “Teamwork is critical to
meet the challenge of today’s emerging cyberthreats and prepare for
future threats to all of our critical government benefit programs.
Our strategic partnership with Okta and Carahsoft provides
government agencies with unparalleled strength to prevent fraud and
protect programs with safe, secure, and equitable access to
critical government services.”
The alliance provides government agencies cost savings by:
- Offering modern identity solutions
that help protect government funds and constituent data.
- Building solutions on open platforms that connect with other
systems and grow with agencies’ needs.
- Providing solutions with
future-proof authentication capabilities.
