Okta launched Identity Security Fabric, a unified platform to secure AI agents that currently operate with elevated privileges but lack proper oversight. The platform includes three components: AI agent lifecycle management for discovery and access control, Cross App Access protocol for secure AI-to-application communication, and verifiable digital credentials for tamper-proof authentication. Research shows 91% of organizations use AI agents but only 10% have management strategies, creating security vulnerabilities as these systems operate continuously with high privileges across enterprise networks.
