Overview
April 30, 2026: AI agents are the fastest-growing and least governed identity in the enterprise. Today, that changes with the general availability of Okta for AI Agents
Okta manages AI agent identities by registering, securing, and governing them. This ensures AI agents are accountable and operate with least privilege, so they become a managed part of your digital workforce instead of a security risk. Okta for AI solution enables human-to-agent connections, as opposed to agent-to-agent connections.
Our customers’ feedback shaped the product, and their deployments are starting to prove the value. Early adopters like Yahoo and Ramp are laying the groundwork to ensure that, as they deploy more AI agents, they build on a secure identity foundation. More details here.
Blueprint
Using Okta to manage your AI agents gives you centralized security and control over their identities.
Three questions every security and IT leader must answer before agents scale beyond control:
1. Where are my agents
2. What can they connect to?
3. What can they do?
- 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 brings every agent action into a unified control plane, making interactions fully auditable within Okta System Logs.
- 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, so they enjoy a seamless experience without repeated access requests.
