Story
Health Care work at Providence spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Cloud misconfigurations was splitting across regional habits. Cloud security engineers asked for a shared way to run cloud security review without freezing local judgment.
Okta (Okta Customer Identity) is what they standardized on. Okta is an identity platform for workforce and customer authentication, single sign-on, and lifecycle management. Providence uses it as the system of record for cloud misconfigurations, with cloud security engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
