"The acquisition will see Axiom's core technology integrated into Okta Privileged Access, which the buyer says will expand access controls across more sensitive resources so that its customers can, in turn, strengthen their own security fabric. Okta claimed privileged access controls will form a key defensive layer to mitigate risks related to artificial intelligence (AI) as more of its customers bring AI projects into their workflows."
"In today's dynamic cloud environment, manually managing these permissions can quickly become chaotic, leading to significant security risks, compliance gaps and operational inefficiencies. With the introduction of a common NHI - AI agents - into the enterprise, businesses are struggling to ensure there is still visibility, security and governance for these unique privileged account types. Outdated or traditional PAM platforms that aren't built with the flexibility and neutrality needed to manage permissions for the non-human workforce will lead to greater security risks,"
Okta is acquiring Axiom Security to integrate Axiom's privileged access management technology into Okta Privileged Access, expanding access controls across cloud, database, SaaS and other critical resources. The integration aims to allow customers to strengthen their security fabric by enforcing privileged access controls across more sensitive resources. Okta positions privileged access controls as a key defensive layer to mitigate AI-related risks as customers incorporate AI projects and non-human identities (NHIs) into workflows. An Okta AI at work survey of nearly 300 C-suite executives found only 10% had a well-developed strategy for managing NHIs. Okta warned that manual permission management and outdated PAM increase security, compliance and operational risks.
