Okta leaders report 92% of executives see moderate or widespread use of autonomous AI agents, while only 22% say those agents have identities tied to them. Okta frames this as measurable exposure that enterprises must address. ServiceNow sought Okta’s “kill switch” capability to shut down agents that go awry and fail to follow policy. Okta’s approach focuses on severing connections by revoking access tokens and cutting logical authorization-layer links to backend resources. ServiceNow says Veza adds visibility and control over the permissions graph, complementing Okta’s identity-layer role.
"Okta leaders, citing the company's own research, say enterprises are deploying AI agents faster than they are securing them, with 92 percent of executives reporting moderate or widespread use of autonomous AI agents, but only 22 percent saying their organizations have identities tied to those agents."
""What they were really interested with Okta was this kill switch capability," McKinnon said during earnings. "When agents go awry and agents aren't following the policy, how do you shut them down? ... The one thing we do really well, and that they wanted from us, is the ability to sever the connections, the access tokens, the actual logical connection at the authorization layer to the backend resources, and we're really good at that.""
