Commissioners renew Okta multifactor authentication contract for county cybersecurity
Summary
County IT staff asked for and received approval to renew Okta multifactor authentication for Oct. 2026–Oct. 2027 at $7,140; staff said Okta is required by the county's cybersecurity insurance and simplifies application access for employees.
Elk County's IT staff presented a request on Aug. 6 to renew the Okta multifactor authentication service for the county's user base from October 2026 through October 2027 at a cost of $7,140.
The IT director said Okta provides single sign‑on, biometric sign‑in options and is required for cybersecurity insurance. He said the county's user count and costs have remained steady and recommended renewal to maintain coverage and authentication services. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the renewal by voice vote.
No alternative vendors or competitive bidding were discussed in the public remarks; staff noted potential price increases in future years tied to overall market costs.
