Okta Expands AI Agent Security Platform With AWS Integration and Cross-Identity Support
Okta also introduced support for non-Okta identity providers, enabling enterprises to manage AI agents without replacing their existing identity infrastructure.
Okta has expanded its Okta for AI Agents platform with new integrations and identity management capabilities to help enterprises secure and govern rapidly growing fleets of AI agents across multiple ecosystems.
The company announced an integration with Amazon Web Services’ Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a managed generative AI service that allows organisations to build and deploy AI agents. Okta also introduced support for non-Okta identity providers, enabling enterprises to manage AI agents without replacing their existing identity infrastructure.
The updates are designed to address growing concerns around AI agent governance as enterprises increasingly deploy autonomous systems across distributed environments.
"Security and IT leaders need a better way to understand where their agents are, what they can connect to, and what they can do. With AI agents being built on different platforms and being deployed across distributed environments, the agentic enterprise doesn't fit into a single-vendor ecosystem. Okta for AI Agents is the neutral platform built to secure the full agent lifecycle, from initial discovery and onboarding to ongoing protection and governance,” said Ely Kahn, Okta Chief Product Officer.
According to Okta, Gartner estimates that the average Fortune 500 company could have more than 150,000 AI agents in operation by 2028. The company also cited industry findings showing that 90% of enterprise AI agents are over-permissioned, while more than half access sensitive information.
The Amazon Bedrock AgentCore integration introduces features including AI agent discovery, onboarding, lifecycle management, access governance, audit logging, and rapid deactivation of rogue agents. Enterprises can also define what resources agents can access and enforce authentication policies centrally.
Okta said the platform works across multiple ecosystems, including Salesforce Agentforce and ServiceNow AI Platform, with future integrations planned for Google Vertex AI, Workday, DataRobot, Boomi, and Glean.
The company added that organizations using identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID or Ping can now layer Okta’s AI agent governance capabilities on top of their existing systems without vendor lock-in.
Earlier this year, Okta introduced a new framework designed to help enterprises secure the growing number of autonomous AI agents operating inside corporate systems.
