  "account": "Okta, an identity and access management company, unveiled new AI agent capabilities and partnerships at the Oktane conference in Las Vegas. The company introduced runtime enforcement and a kill switch for its Okta for AI Agents platform, along with joining 11 other vendors in forming the Blueprint Alliance. The alliance aims to create an open, multivendor reference architecture for agent security, building on Okta's March framework.\n\nThe runtime enforcement, known as Agent Gateway, sits between an AI agent and the tools it uses, enforcing policies and logging interactions. This addresses the risk of unintended access to sensitive systems through AI agents. Administrators can deactivate agents through the gateway, revoking tokens and shutting down active sessions. Okta's discovery now extends to employee devices, with a new feature specifically for detecting unmanaged agents on endpoints.\n\nAdditional features in the alliance include Cross App Access for Okta's single sign-on customers, Agent-to-Agent Connections for tracking agent interactions, and Resource Access Certifications for reviewing agent permissions over time. Configuration Designer visualizes agent-to-resource connections, while the kill switch and gateway functionalities will be available in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.\n\nThe Blueprint Alliance comprises companies like AWS, CrowdStrike, Google Cloud, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Databricks, Docker, Lovable Labs, Proofpoint, and Zscaler. Gartner predicts that by 2028, Fortune 500 enterprises will have over 150,000 AI agents, with only 13% of organizations believing they have adequate governance. The alliance's approach includes treating every agent as a first-class identity and scoping its access based on the task at hand.",
