Oktane 2026 Recap

We had an incredible three days at Oktane 2026 in Las Vegas, jam-packed with inspiring keynotes and sessions exploring how Okta Secures AI. Over 4,000 attendees gathered to network, hear directly from identity experts, and discover how Okta is building the foundation for the agentic future. 

What Product Innovations Were Announced at Oktane 2026?

Oktane Keynote: Secure your agentic future

Okta CEO Todd McKinnon detailed Okta’s strategic roadmap to secure every AI agent across three core pillars:  The Blueprint Alliance, Agent SSO, and Okta for AI Agents. 

• The Blueprint Alliance: Okta has partnered with industry leaders across every layer of the tech stack to form a multi-vendor reference architecture that answers four critical questions: Where are my agents? What can they do? What are they doing? How do I respond?
• Agent SSO Included in Core Plans: Agent SSO brings the seamless, centralized user experience of traditional single sign-on to AI agents, included across all Okta products.
• Okta for AI Agents introduces endpoint discovery integrated with CrowdStrike and Okta Verify, alongside Agent Gateway—a virtual MCP server providing centralized authorization and a kill switch.

Okta Platform Keynote: Secure every identity across humans, machines, and AI agents

Building on the strategic vision, the Okta Platform Keynote demonstrated how Okta is operationalizing these capabilities across two primary technical foundation pillars: an Agentic Control Plane and a Unified Identity Security Fabric.

• Agentic Control Plane: A unified management plane uniting agentic identity management with real-time agentic security.
• Unified Identity Security Fabric: A single, trusted platform built to secure every identity type across humans, machines, and AI agents.
