AI-Powered Identity Threat Defense: How Okta Is Redefining Trust in the Era of Identity Fabric and AI Agents
Okta, Thursday, October 22nd, 2026
Okta explains how it treats AI agents as first-class identities within its identity security fabric.
Okta says organizations are prioritizing management of non-human identities such as API keys, service accounts, bots and AI agents as generative AI and automation expand the identity attack surface.
Without governance, credential hygiene, monitoring and lifecycle management, these identities pose serious risk.
Okta presents the identity security fabric as a unified framework for consistent posture, governance and visibility across human and machine identities, and describes how it secures AI agents as first-class identities with the same controls and audit trails applied to people.
