At the biggest Oktane ever, Okta CEO & Co-Founder Todd McKinnon addresses the defining technical challenge of the agentic age: balancing rapid AI innovation with enterprise security. Today, organizations face a false choice—either lock down AI agents and sacrifice innovation, or give them full access and assume immense risk. The solution is achieving total visibility and control. In this keynote highlight, Todd outlines Okta’s strategic roadmap to secure every AI agent across three core pillars: The Blueprint Alliance, Agent SSO, and Okta for AI Agents. 5 Key Takeaways: • The Blueprint Alliance: Okta has partnered with industry leaders across every layer of the tech stack to form a multi-vendor reference architecture that answers four critical questions: Where are my agents? What can they do? What are they doing? How do I respond? • Agent SSO Included in Core Plans: Agent SSO brings the seamless, centralized user experience of traditional single sign-on to AI agents, included across all Okta products. • Cross App Access (XAA) Open Standard: Agent SSO is built on Cross App Access (XAA), an open standard that replaces user consent prompts with predefined enterprise identity provider policies. • Shadow AI Discovery & Agent Gateway: Okta for AI Agents introduces endpoint discovery integrated with CrowdStrike and Okta Verify, alongside Agent Gateway—a virtual MCP server providing centralized authorization and a kill switch. • Heterogeneous & Commerce Support: Okta for AI Agents now supports third-party identity providers (IdPs), while Auth0 powers Auth for UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) for seamless, secure shopping within platforms like Google Gemini. Join the Blueprint Alliance and help set the open standard for the secure agentic future. 📌 Resources & Links: Learn more about Okta for AI Agents: https://www.okta.com/products/govern-ai-agent-identity/ Download the Blueprint for the Secure Agentic Enterprise: https://blueprintalliance.ai/ Explore Agent SSO & Cross App Access (XAA): https://www.okta.com/resources/datasheets/agent-sso/ Chapters 0:00 - Welcome to the Biggest Oktane Ever 0:25 - The False Choice: Locking Down AI vs. Assuming Risk 1:17 - The Blueprint Alliance & 4 Critical AI Questions 2:08 - Introducing Agent SSO Built on Cross App Access (XAA) 3:31 - Okta for AI Agents Velocity & Feature Announcements 3:57 - Shadow AI Discovery, Agent Gateway & 3rd Party IdPs 5:14 - Customer-Facing Agentic Commerce with Auth for UCP 5:53 - Call to Action: Join the Blueprint Alliance #Okta #Oktane #ToddMcKinnon #AIAgents #Cybersecurity #AgentSSO #CrossAppAccess #AgenticAI #CloudSecurity #enterpriseai Keywords Okta, Todd McKinnon, Oktane Keynote Highlights, Securing AI Agents, Okta for AI Agents, Agent SSO, Cross App Access, XAA standard, Blueprint Alliance, Agent Gateway, Shadow AI Discovery, CrowdStrike Okta, Universal Commerce Protocol, UCP Google Gemini, Enterprise AI Security, Model Context Protocol
