What to expect during Okta’s Oktane event: Join theCUBE Sept. 24

During Okta's Oktane event, industry experts will discuss the critical role of identity controls in managing artificial intelligence agents within enterprise workflows. Krista Case, principal analyst at theCUBE Research, explained that AI agents require their own defined authority, least-privilege access, and lifecycle governance, moving beyond the traditional human-centric identity model.

As AI agents can access multiple systems and invoke tools without direct human involvement, enterprises must apply consistent authentication, authorization, and governance controls to these agents. The identity layer will become a crucial control plane connecting human intent to machine action. Okta is extending its identity platform to help enterprises enforce these controls, while also providing continuous visibility into agent actions.

This will enable dynamic authorization tied to business context, delegated authority, and intent, along with the ability to reconstruct both what agents do and why they have been permitted to do so. Enterprise tech professionals should not miss theCUBE's coverage of Okta's Oktane event on Sept. 24, which will explore how identity governance helps enterprises make AI agents trusted participants in business workflows.
