Perform cybersecurity risk assessments and internal policy gap analyses and adjust Okta's public-sector security policies in the U.S. and internationally as needed. Provide legal advice to Okta's Security team regarding FedRAMP, DoD Information Level, and agency-specific authorization and cybersecurity requirements.
