"Auth0 for AI Agents aims to make the difference between safe and unsafe agentic AI use through this compact coding task. This results in "fabric-ready" applications, i.e., apps that produce safe, predictably operating agents. Through Cross App Access (XAA), previously introduced by Okta as an open standard, applications can communicate and interact with each other via agents. Tip: Nametag partners with Okta to monitor agents Naturally, protocols such as MCP or Agent2Agent come into play here."
"We are already seeing 'agent sprawl', according to various Okta spokespersons. Shiv Ramji, President of Okta Customer Identity Cloud, emphasizes that the AI upon which agents are based is not deterministic and therefore carries inherent risks. However, with just a few lines of code, developers can make their AI agents secure digital employees. Because these frameworks do not have an inherent security layer, it is up to vendors themselves to make their developments based on these innovations secure."
Okta elevates agent identities to first-class citizens within an identity fabric that underpins infrastructure security and attracts attackers. The identity fabric concept frames identities as foundational to securing IT environments. Okta offers Auth0 for AI Agents to let developers secure AI agents with minimal code, producing predictable, fabric-ready agents. Cross App Access (XAA) enables agent-mediated app communication, while protocols like MCP and Agent2Agent enable agent interactions but lack built-in security. Okta and partners, including Nametag, aim to provide monitoring and security layers to mitigate risks from non-deterministic agentic AI.
