## AI overview

The article's central finding is that governing AI agents requires identity controls to follow their actions at runtime across connected systems, with vendors sharing responsibility. It describes the Blueprint Alliance's reference architecture and Okta's Agent Gateway, which moves Okta into the runtime path to evaluate what agents may do. Okta's Dex routes work to specialized agents with limited scopes. 1Password's Credential Broker supplies secrets without revealing them to agents or models, while ServiceNow and Okta are working on agent identities and session tokens to support containment decisions. The examples also point to existing governance as a starting point: the PGA of America uses Okta and Auth0 in a lean architecture without traditional data centers or a corporate network, and Vanderbilt is considering AI identities within established governance and technology intake processes. The article notes that conflicting platform decisions leave open questions about who has final authority and where it belongs.

## Source excerpt

AI agent governance is moving identity security into the flow of work. As agents call tools, delegate tasks and act across applications, enterprises need controls that follow those actions beyond an initial login. The challenge is making those controls work across systems while preserving the business processes agents support. The limits of individual security platforms [...] The post Three insights you may have missed from theCUBE's coverage of Okta's Oktane event appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
