Advancements in AI continue to create new possibilities for government—from automating internal workflows to transforming how agencies serve residents. But every automated process, AI agent, and intelligent system is an identity that needs to be governed. Without visibility and control over who — and what — has access, innovation stalls at the pilot stage.

Join us Thursday, March 12 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT for a session designed for government IT leaders, program owners, and security teams. We'll explore compelling use cases for AI across both internal operations and citizen-facing services, then discuss how identity governance creates the foundation for secure innovation.

You'll learn how agencies can experiment freely while maintaining visibility and control across every identity — human, non-human, and AI — as initiatives move from sandbox to production.

Specifically, you’ll learn:  

• Real use cases for AI and agentic AI in government — what's working and what's on the horizon for internal operations and citizen services.
• Why identity governance is the key enabler for secure AI innovation — providing the visibility and control needed to scale with confidence.
• How to move AI initiatives from experimentation to production while automating lifecycle management and maintaining compliance.

You’ll hear directly from our Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder, Todd McKinnon and our product leaders as they share how Okta secures AI, by shifting to a strategy that secures every identity – from human to agent.

AI is no longer just helping attackers; it’s becoming the attacker and engineering an all - new attack surface. This shift toward autonomous agents introduces a dangerous identity challenge that traditional digital security wasn't designed to defend.

What we’ll cover:

• Securing the AI era: See how Okta builds security in, so developers can innovate faster, while IT governs with confidence from a single control plane.
• Human to AI identity: A first look at our roadmap for bringing AI agents into your identity security fabric, to secure every identity across your ecosystem.
• The path forward: How to navigate the "shadow AI" landscape, and secure every agent by design, to turn AI from a risk into a business advantage.

To truly secure AI, we need to go beyond the gate and move toward a comprehensive lifecycle approach. You’ll leave this event with a clear understanding of how Okta secures AI across your entire ecosystem.

In the public sector, a security incident is more than a technical hurdle; it is a test of organizational resilience and community confidence. While many local Governments operate in a state of reactive defense, the most resilient municipalities are shifting their strategy to treat Identity as the new perimeter.

Join us for an in-depth session featuring a real-world municipal case study on the journey from recovery to a proactive, "shield-first" posture. We will explore how one city navigated a critical security event and emerged with a more robust, scalable and secure digital infrastructure.

Many local Governments face the same hurdles: complex legacy systems, lean IT teams and the constant threat of data breaches. This webinar provides a blueprint for leadership to move beyond "fixing what’s broken" and start building a proactive defense that safeguards both employee and citizen data.

Discussion Topics:

• Leading Through Crisis: A look at the leadership response required to protect city assets and maintain continuity during a security event.
• Why Identity Matters: The strategic decision-making process behind choosing Okta to provide a unified, industry-leading identity layer.
• The Power of Partnership: How collaborating with Glass Box Technology allows municipalities to scale security expertise rapidly without the overhead of a massive internal team.
• Be Proactive: Practical steps for using identity management as a shield against future threats, ensuring long-term stability and public trust.

As government agencies and educational institutions accelerate digital transformation, they face a growing wave of sophisticated cyber threats—many driven by or targeting emerging AI technologies. From credential phishing to identity-based lateral movement, today’s attackers are faster, stealthier, and more coordinated than ever.

Join Okta, Zscaler, CrowdStrike, Rubrik and AWS to hear from industry experts as they discuss how AI is being used on both sides of the threat landscape—and how integrated solutions can detect, contain, and stop cross-domain attacks before they do damage. We’ll go beyond frameworks to examine real-world use cases and show how identity-powered defenses can work across your ecosystem to deliver proactive protection.

This event features an inclusive panel discussion led by Okta, Zscaler, CrowdStrike and AWS. What you will learn:

• Strategies to improve public engagement while optimizing operations in government and education.
• Real-life scenarios where AI-powered, integrated tools were used to detect and prevent sophisticated identity-based attacks.
• How to safeguard the entire workforce lifecycle—ensuring a secure user experience while enhancing threat detection and response.

Following the event, we hope you will join us for networking and light refreshments.
