- AI agents and superagents pose real risks when working autonomously in sensitive environments.
- Only one in five organizations treat their agents as entities carrying an identity – a bad decision for security.
- Okta for AI Agents will launch on April 30 as the IAM platform for AI Agents.
Okta has revealed details of its “secure agent enterprise” model in a bid to define how businesses can manage AI agents in the same way as human agents.
As part of this change, Okta will launch Okta for AI Agents on April 30, 2026, as a platform for discovering, registering and managing AI agents, including ghost agents that otherwise may not have been detected.
By standardizing access, the IAM company hopes to give businesses access to improved visibility and a central kill switch.

Okta’s move to launch an AI management platform comes at an important inflection point, where companies hope to increase the employment of AI agents while reducing their reliance on some human workers.
Now that AI agents can act autonomously across systems and “superagents” like OpenClaw can execute commands and access files, businesses are demanding clearer, more comprehensive management. According to Okta, most (88%) organizations have reported security incidents related to AI agents.
However, only about one in five (22%) consider AI agents to be identity-bearing entities, highlighting a major security gap as their functionality becomes increasingly human-like.
“AI agents are evolving faster than any software before them, making traditional security models obsolete. Speed is now a given, but security is the differentiator,” wrote Ric Smith, president of products and technology.
The platform answers three main questions: “where are my agents?” “, “what can they connect to? and “what can they do?” “.
And through agent onboarding in Okta Integration Network (OIN), the company has partnered with AI platforms including Boomi, DataRobot and Google Vertex AI to expand its existing onboarding catalog by 8,200 people.
“With this new model, Okta sets the industry standard for the secure agentic enterprise,” Smith concluded.
