Story
Inside Northrop Grumman, identity operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of the United States. IAM and helpdesk needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Northrop Grumman uses Okta Privileged Access from Okta as the working layer for access control. Okta is an identity platform for workforce and customer authentication, single sign-on, and lifecycle management. The practical change is simple: identity operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Northrop Grumman gets from Okta is a durable place to run identity operations and a way for IAM and helpdesk to see the same access control at the same time.
