Digital-first experiences are a top priority across every level of government to improve service delivery, simplify user experiences, and rebuild trust with the American public. At the same time, agencies must defend against ever-present threats of identity theft, fraudulent accounts, and account takeovers. That’s why advanced digital Identity verification and strong authentication are essential for modern government services.
At Socure, we are excited to announce a transformative partnership with Okta and Carahsoft Technology Corp., which marks a significant advancement in our mission to enhance digital identity verification across the public sector. This collaboration aims to deliver a FedRAMP & StateRAMP compliant identity solution, ushering in a new era of security and efficiency for federal, state, and local government agencies.
The integration of Socure’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled ID+ platform with Okta’s adaptive multi-factor authentication, best-in-class compliance and security features, and modern, frictionless cloud infrastructure creates a powerhouse capable of addressing some of the most pressing challenges faced by government agencies today—especially in its efforts to combat sophisticated identity fraud. Our joint solutions now offer government agencies at all levels scalable, simple, and secure identity solutions built for the modern era. Achieving accurate and inclusive digital identity verification is critical to accelerating government service delivery for vital programs.
Digital transformation in government services is not just about upgrading technology—it’s about ensuring that these technologies offer secure, seamless, and inclusive access to the public. This is where our partnership becomes crucial. Socure’s ID+ platform, recognized for its high accuracy and inclusivity in identity verification, complements Okta’s expertise in secure access and adaptive multi-factor authentication. Together, we are setting new standards for what digital interactions in the public sector should look like.
Our joint solution provides government agencies with tools that are not only top-notch in security but also designed to enhance the user experience. By reducing friction and simplifying processes, we make it easier for the public to access vital services, from social benefits to healthcare, without compromising on security. This approach helps to build a stronger, more trusting relationship between the government and the public, which is essential in today’s digital age. We recently produced a joint webinar in which you can listen to the recording here.
For example, Socure’s predictive analytics platform goes beyond traditional identity checks by analyzing a broad range of data points, from physical documents to digital footprints. This allows for real-time verification that is both thorough and efficient. Okta’s Universal Directory and Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication add another layer of security, ensuring that only legitimate users can access sensitive information.
At a time when digitizing benefits delivery is needed to reach large subsets of the population and bolstering public trust in government services is paramount, these solutions work together to provide key benefits, including:
- Auto-approval of more eligible individuals (98% for mainstream populations and up to 94% for hard-to-identify populations, including Gen Z, millennial and new-to-country individuals)
- More effective fraud prevention, capturing 90% of third-party identity fraud in the riskiest 3% of users
- Reduction of manual reviews with fully automated identity verification and fraud prevention, with a response in milliseconds
- Fast time-to-value with easy, secure connections across a variety of applications and on the cloud
- Comprehensive approach to security with audited infrastructure and process
- Reduction of the burden of password management with simple, passwordless MFA options
- A variety of flexible authentication options that nearly everyone can use
By pooling our capabilities, we will help reduce the cost, burden, and friction generated by today’s pervasive attacks and deliver a better consumer experience without making it harder for people to interact with government services.
