How does Okta manage AI agent identities?
Okta manages AI agent identities by registering, securing, and governing them. This ensures AI agents are accountable and operate with least privilege, integrating them as a managed part of the digital workforce instead of a security risk. The Okta for AI solution enables human-to-agent connections rather than agent-to-agent connections. Early adopters utilize this secure identity foundation to scale the agentic workforce.

What benefits does the Okta for AI Agents blueprint provide?

Okta secures AI agents and enhances the organization's security posture by providing centralized management and access control.
- Enforce least privilege: Minimize an AI agent's attack surface by granting access with policy-constrained scopes and methods.
- Centralized control and compliance reporting: Centralized management consolidates all agent actions into a unified control plane, enabling full auditability within the Okta System Log.
- Elimination of standing privileges: Time-bound access and enforced policies eliminate the need for risky, permanent credentials for agents and users.
- Enhanced security posture: Security teams confidently deploy and connect AI agents with clear visibility into connections, permissions, and risks.
- Reduced user friction: The agent completes tasks for users automatically, providing a seamless experience without repeated access requests.
