You secured your workforce. You secured your customers. ...But what about your AI agents? 🤔🤖 They’re already inside your systems—connecting, deciding, acting. Most without identity, and that’s a problem. Fix it with Okta for AI Agents ➡️ bit.ly/3PGzRsq #OktaSecuresAI

Okta is proud to be a part of the @nvidia OpenShell ecosystem to advance AI security at the infrastructure level. Today, NVIDIA announced the NVIDIA OpenShell Reference Architecture for safe AI agents, which combines controls, accelerated computing, and independent security enforcement in an open architecture. Together, we’re collaborating on how to extend identity, authorization, and governance into the agent runtime, helping sandboxed AI agents operate securely across the full AI stack.

AI access has a resale value now. And criminals have noticed. As demand for frontier models rises, an underground market is offering premium AI access at prices that look almost too good to be true. Sometimes the “discount” comes from stolen session tokens and API keys. Sometimes it's fueled by fake accounts and abused promotional credits. Either way, someone else is picking up the tab. Okta Threat Intelligence went inside the underground AI economy to understand how AI access is being stolen, manufactured and resold—and what security teams can do about it. → Read the research: okta.com/newsroom/articles/i…

I recently spoke with @ErleNorton at @WSJ to talk about leadership and staying challenge-driven. When you lead a company from day one to $3B+ in revenue, every milestone presents a totally different challenge. Early on, it was simply proving we could build something people wanted. Today, leading an entire company through the agentic AI platform shift requires a whole different muscle: conditioning the organization to embrace change. As leaders, especially during tech shifts, it’s tempting to look for an expert playbook. But the reality is that no one has all the answers. You have to trust your instincts, get out of the building to listen to customers, and give your teams a reason to care about where you’re going.

Great to see the momentum behind Personal Agent Protocol, and proud that @Okta is helping shape it.

It was great to spend last week visiting with employees, customers, and partners across Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. I saw firsthand how European companies are moving every bit as fast on AI agents as companies in the US, but hitting the exact same challenge: The broad access that makes agents more capable and valuable are the very things that introduce new security risks. To innovate without sacrificing security, organizations need visibility and control over their agentic stack. They need to know where agents are, what they can do, what they’re actually doing, and how to respond if something goes wrong. Right now, every vendor in the market is claiming they can do it all, leaving enterprise customers confused about how to actually secure their AI roadmaps. Our goal is to bring clarity to that conversation: explaining how @Okta provides the necessary identity foundation in collaboration with the broader ecosystem through the @the_blueprintai. We closed out the trip by joining a town hall at our office in Amsterdam. EMEA is a massive driver for Okta, and our local teams are executing with incredible focus to help our customers succeed. What we offer customers has never been more relevant and the opportunity ahead of us in the region is massive. Thanks to everyone across EMEA who made this trip so impactful. Energized for what's ahead!

Introducing Agent SSO... First-class identity for every Cross App Access-enabled agent: → Assign policies → Manage agent-to-app connections → See audit trails Okta for AI agents is your solution for full lifecycle governance. As your AI strategy grows, that same identity foundation grows with it: → Support for agents that don't yet support Cross App Access → Agent-to-agent connections → Shadow AI discovery → Runtime enforcement → Full life-cycle governance → Kill-switch capabilities ...without rebuilding from scratch. First-class identity for every agent connection. Read more: okta.com/newsroom/press-rele…

88% of security leaders feel confident in their security posture. 52% of respondents started their job with a username and password. Your employees passed the security training. Then you handed them a password. Awareness matters. But you can't train your way out of an architectural problem. Secure by default > secure by memory. → Read the 2026 Global State of Authentication from Okta + @Yubico: okta.com/newsroom/articles/g…

Okta moves inline to police what AI agents actually do ift.tt/zNHynfL

September, in five headlines: → Biggest Oktane ever → Joined the @the_blueprintai → Shipped Agent SSO → Launched Okta for AI Agents → Extended the Kill Switch Strip away the headlines, and it all comes down to four questions: Where are your agents? What can they do? What are they doing? How do you respond? Answer all four, and security stops being the tradeoff for innovation. It becomes the foundation for it. September's over. The work isn't.

AI agents can unlock enormous opportunity, but only if organizations have the visibility and control to move fast without sacrificing security. At this year’s Oktane, I shared how we’re working to make that possible: bringing customers and industry leaders together through @the_blueprintai to co-author a multi-vendor reference architecture for the secure agentic enterprise; advancing Agent SSO and Cross App Access so agents can connect securely across systems; and announcing powerful new capabilities in Okta for AI Agents that give organizations greater visibility and control over agent identities, access, and activity. The agentic platform shift is moving fast. Security and innovation both have to move with it.

Meet Dex, our first digital coworker, built with Okta for AI Agents to support IT, HR, travel, and expense needs. By testing Dex in our own environment, we’re learning what it takes to manage agent sprawl, maintain visibility and control, and deliver real productivity gains without ballooning IT headcount. Early results have been encouraging: Dex reached 25% internal adoption in just two weeks, a number that's been climbing steadily since, and has already fielded more than 23,500 interactions. This is what it means to build technology for the real world: use it ourselves, learn from the friction, and make it better for our customers.

No one company can secure agents alone. That’s why @Okta has teamed up with leading organizations across the industry to launch @the_blueprintai. The Blueprint Alliance is a multi-vendor coalition that brings together leaders spanning identity, AI, data, applications, infrastructure, and cybersecurity, including @awscloud, @CrowdStrike, @Databricks, @Docker, @GoogleCloud, @Lovable, @Okta, @Proofpoint, @Salesforce, @ServiceNow, @wiz_io, and @Zscaler, along with strategic advisors @GEAppliancesCo, and @WCKitchen. It’s an active commitment across the ecosystem so organizations can operate their agentic stack as a unified, governed system. Today the Blueprint Alliance also published the blueprint for the secure agentic enterprise. Co-authored by alliance members for open use, this multi-vendor reference architecture shifts security from the traditional network perimeter to a unified, zero-trust, agentic control plane. It gives technology leaders a practical framework to answer four key questions for the agentic age: Where are my agents? What can they do? What are they doing? And how do I respond?

I always appreciate the chance to talk with @jimcramer in person. He gets right to the heart of the issue: AI agents are becoming more powerful, and companies need a practical way to maintain control. On @CNBC’s Mad Money, we talked about why the right discussion in companies isn’t about slowing AI down; it’s about prioritizing the visibility and control they need as agents gain access to more data, applications, and systems. Identity is the foundation: You have to know where your agents are, what they’re connected to, and what they’re doing. We also discussed why the industry needs a shared blueprint for the secure agentic enterprise. Fired up to share more at Oktane next week!
