Okta Launches AI Agent Security Tools at Investor Summit

Okta Inc. unveiled its strategy for agentic AI during The Oktane Call 2026 Investor Summit on September 23, 2026. The company launched Okta for AI Agents, positioning the product as the identity control layer for the secure agentic enterprise. CEO Todd McKinnon stated that the security and governance market for agentic AI could eventually surpass the current identity and access management market.

To establish industry-wide standards and reference architectures, Okta formed the Blueprint Alliance, a consortium that includes Zscaler and CrowdStrike. The company is also expanding accessibility by enabling third-party identity provider support, which allows customers using Microsoft Entra ID to integrate Okta's AI tools. Early adoption of these services has begun with companies including Dell, Yahoo, and Ramp.

Okta currently utilizes a pricing model based on a per-user uplift ranging from 25% to 37.5%. However, management expects to transition toward per-agent pricing as autonomous workflows become more prevalent. Internally, the company has restructured its sales force into specialized teams for AI agents, traditional identity, and customer identity, while merging Auth0 and Okta research and development to speed up product delivery.
