Okta bets on identity to control AI agents, but is identity enough?

Okta, a major identity and access management (IAM, the system that controls who can access what resources) company, is positioning itself as a leader in securing AI agents (autonomous AI programs that can take actions on their own) by treating identity as the main security control. However, experts warn that identity alone is not enough, since even properly authenticated agents can still cause harm, and securing agents at scale presents different challenges than securing human users.
