"Only 22 percent of organizations treat AI agents as independent, identity-bearing entities, while 88 percent have already dealt with suspected or confirmed security incidents involving AI agents. Ninety percent of AI usage occurs through unauthorized personal accounts, with an average of 223 shadow AI incidents per month."
"The second pillar is access management. An Agent Gateway serves as a central control plane for all connections between agents and resources: MCP connections, tools, APIs, and databases. Agent credentials are automatically rotated via a secure vault, ensuring they never appear in plain text or logs."
"Through Universal Logout, Okta can deactivate all access tokens if an agent deviates from its intended mission. All activity, including tool calls and authorization decisions, is forwarded to the organization's SIEM."
Okta for AI Agents treats artificial intelligence agents as independent, identity-bearing entities within organizational security frameworks. The platform addresses critical security gaps: only 22 percent of organizations currently manage AI agents as distinct identities, while 88 percent have experienced suspected or confirmed security incidents. Shadow AI usage compounds the problem, with 90 percent of AI activity occurring through unauthorized personal accounts and averaging 223 incidents monthly. The platform operates on three foundational pillars: registration and visibility through expanded integrations with platforms like Boomi and Google Vertex AI; access management via an Agent Gateway that controls connections and automatically rotates credentials; and immediate access revocation through Universal Logout, which deactivates all tokens if agents deviate from intended purposes. All agent activity integrates with organizational SIEM systems for comprehensive monitoring.
