Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Four Essential Steps to Secure Agentic AI in Government
Okta, Thursday, October 22nd, 2026
Okta outlines four identity-based practices government agencies can follow to secure agentic AI.
Okta's federal field CTO argues that AI offers government agencies major gains in citizen services, supply chains and data processing, but without a strong security foundation autonomous agents can become unmonitored backdoors to sensitive data.
He frames AI security as an identity problem and points to the Blueprint Alliance, which Okta co-founded to define a reference architecture for securing the agentic enterprise around four fundamental questions.
The post turns those questions into four practices agencies can promote during Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
