Ask Me Anything: Okta for AI Agents

Hi Community!

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming online Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. This session focuses on Okta for AI Agents (now generally available!), our dedicated product to secure non-human identities, autonomous workflows, and machine-to-machine (M2M) ecosystem architectures. 

The Identity Security Challenge of Autonomous AI

As AI rapidly evolves from sandboxes into autonomous enterprise agents executing high-stakes production workflows, traditional user identity models fail. Agents rely on APIs rather than passwords or MFA, leading to massive security challenges: while 91% of organizations have adopted AI, 88% have already experienced AI agent security incidents, and 44% completely lack AI governance. Okta for AI Agents eliminates this credential sprawl by providing an identity layer to secure, monitor, and manage these autonomous systems. 

Whether your team is piloting its first autonomous agent or managing a growing swarm of non-human identities, we know that securing AI can feel like moving at machine speed. That’s why we’re treating AI as first-class citizens in the identity ecosystem, and we want to help you do the same.
