Okta<\/a>\u00a0is expanding its AI agent identity platform to support non-Okta identity providers and additional agentic AI ecosystems, including Amazon Web Services\u2019 Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.<\/p>\n

Okta for AI Agents<\/a> helps companies govern and audit agent access, including deactivating agents when they behave unexpectedly. The company says the new capabilities offer a vendor-neutral platform that secures every agent end to end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith AI agents being built on different platforms and being deployed across distributed environments, the agentic enterprise doesn\u2019t fit into a single-vendor ecosystem,\u201d says Ely Kahn, Okta\u2019s chief product officer. \u201cAgents is the neutral platform built to secure the full agent lifecycle, from initial discovery and onboarding to ongoing protection and governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The offering comes as enterprises introduce more AI agents into their workflows. AI agents are already in use at more than 9 in 10 organizations, according to research<\/a> published by Okta in August last year. Gartner predicts that by 2028, an average global Fortune 500 enterprise will have over 150,000 agents in use.<\/p>\n

With the integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, organizations can assign ownership, manage agent lifecycles, and deactivate agents when necessary. Capabilities include agent visibility through OAuth consent grant monitoring, direct import of AgentCore agents into Okta via the Okta Integration Network, and a centralized agent registry that ties each agent to a human owner and baseline governance policies.<\/p>\n

Organizations can also define and enforce resource access permissions for AgentCore agents, specifying authentication methods and access scopes. Additional features cover user access requests and certifications across an agent\u2019s full lifecycle, single-action agent deactivation for incident response, and system logging of tool calls and authorization decisions with SIEM streaming support.<\/p>\n

Okta said the platform already supports ecosystems including Salesforce\u2019s Agentforce, ServiceNow AI Platform and Amazon Web Services\u2019 AgentCore, with additional integrations planned for platforms including Google Vertex AI, Workday and DataRobot.<\/p>\n

Last year, Okta announced it would be offering new capabilities <\/a>related to agentic AI during the 2027 fiscal year.<\/p>\n
