AI Agent Identity Security Readiness Cheat Sheet
Okta warns that rapid adoption of AI agents is creating new identity security risks, with 91% of organizations already using agents and nearly half lacking formal oversight. Because these non-human identities can access systems, data and applications, organizations need an identity-first security framework spanning the entire agent lifecycle. Recommended practices include continuously discovering AI agents, maintaining a centralized registry, managing provisioning and access through a unified identity platform, monitoring and auditing agent activity, securing credentials in dedicated vaults, tying agent actions to verified human identities, enforcing human approval for high-risk activities and applying least-privilege access.
