Securing Identities, Credentials, and Access in Federal Government Agencies

Your agency handles a wealth of personal data and classified resources: addresses, social security numbers, as well as medical and financial information. To keep these assets secure, you need a strong identity management strategy that includes the most effective technology—and the best place to start is with FICAM. Otherwise known as Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management, FICAM refers to the U.S. government’s approach to Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM). Its tools, policies, and systems guide agencies in providing the right individual with the right resource at the right time. To achieve these objectives, agencies should implement FICAM solutions that they can manage with confidence. The U.S. General Services Administration lists solution providers that can help government entities to securely meet the FICAM roadmap outcomes—and Okta is among them.
