In the wake of several data breaches caused by their tech supplier, Okta, introduced a Secure Identity Commitment in 2024 to enhance security measures such as strengthening infrastructure and implementing internal security policies. This commitment also focused on supporting non-profits like the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) through the Okta for Good program.
The NRC, a long-standing charity aiding refugees globally, upholds the rights of displaced people in crisis areas. Despite facing cyber threats from malicious actors, their work with vulnerable populations emphasizes data responsibility to avoid causing harm digitally.
Through their partnership with Okta, the NRC has developed training materials on data responsibility to ensure the protection of sensitive information. Additionally, Okta’s technology has enabled the NRC to operate more efficiently and securely in challenging environments around the world.
As a commercial partner with Okta, the NRC has transitioned to a cloud-driven organization, leveraging their technology for secure access to applications and data. Moving forward, they aim to collaborate with local partners to expand their reach in a cost-effective and secure manner with the help of Okta’s expertise.
