Okta Embraces AI Agents for Identity Security Growth

Okta sees AI agents as a new opportunity for identity security. The company recently expanded its "Okta for AI Agents" to support new agent ecosystems and integrate with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. This move aims to position identity as the security layer for human, machine, and AI-agent access. Analysts are also more optimistic. Raymond James upgraded Okta to Outperform, and Barclays followed with an Overweight rating, citing rising demand for identity security in the AI era. This matters because it shows how traditional tech companies are adapting to the rise of AI.
