As organizations scale AI, maintaining your security posture is critical—and today with @AnthropicAI, we’re paving the way with a new integration with the @ClaudeAI Compliance API.

By bringing Claude into Okta Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), we’re giving teams the centralized visibility needed to surface identity blind spots and remediate risks.

Now, you can manage Claude just like any other SaaS platform, ensuring your AI usage stays secure and compliant.

[Will Townsend @WillTownTech]

.@DellTech's global chief technology and AI officer John Roese shares his insights related to the collaboration with @okta for its own internal agentic AI security provisions.

That partnership with an AI factory infrastructure leader speaks volumes to Okta's potential and capabilities. #OktaShowcase

If you’re building and deploying AI agents in your enterprise, you need to be able to answer three core questions:
- Where are my agents?
- What can agents connect to?
- What can agents do?

@BrianSozzi and @toddmckinnon about the blueprint for the secure agentic enterprise

[Yahoo Finance @YahooFinance]

Q: "How is this AI revolution changing the future of being an engineer at a company like yours and others like it?"

“It's actually changing and disrupting how things get built, and that's why that aptitude for change is so important,” Okta CEO @toddmckinnon says.

Tune in live at 11am ET to hear from Todd and some special guests on securing the agentic enterprise

[Todd McKinnon @toddmckinnon]

Next week at @Okta Showcase, we’ll share how organizations can answer three increasingly urgent questions: Where are my AI agents? What can they connect to? And what can they do?

Good chat with @carlquintanilla and @SaraEisen about the opportunity and paranoia around the agentic enterprise

@adambain Why yes, I do know of such a company! Cc @toddmckinnon

[TBPN @tbpn]

"Are people going to build their own software, or buy software from vendors? Unequivocally, they're going to buy more software from vendors." - Okta CEO @toddmckinnon

"Companies have a very hard time building something that goes from SAP to content management to Salesforce in an end-to-end process."

"Maybe there’ll be some more customization and more vibe coding to build that. But the core vendors, core data sources, and the core business logic and processes, that’s going to get bigger and bigger. I’m 100% convinced of that."

[Todd McKinnon @toddmckinnon]

Shadow AI is replacing Shadow IT. We’re introducing new capabilities in @Okta for AI Agents to map the blast radius of every agent in your stack. Discover the shadow agents, identify the overprivileged identities, and provide the killswitch.

Great range on the show today: Bryan Johnson, Huberman, 2 public company CEOs, a news correspondent, and an early-stage founder

@stoolpresidente you gonna check out Tia Margarita’s on 19th ave and Clement (another Barstoll fund recipient) while you’re here in SF for #SBLX ?

[Will Stickney @WillStick]

@stoolpresidente Check out Pizzetta 211. Doing their own thing but really incredible

[Todd McKinnon @toddmckinnon]

I sat down with @jimcramer to discuss AI agents as a powerful new identity type. As companies adopt AI and build AI agents, they want three things: innovation, choice, and security. Without identity security, AI’s promise will collapse.

[Will Stickney @WillStick]

Good chat about AI agents and identity security fabric (human and non-human) with @BrianSozzi and @toddmckinnon on this AM’s @YahooFinance https://t.co/9WdSQIaRdV

[Shiv Ramji @thinkshiv]

The SaaS ecosystem has evolved at incredible speed — but security standards haven’t kept up. We saw this with the Salesloft incident, where attackers used stolen tokens to jump between applications.

To ease the concerns of our customers, @okta and @auth0 weren’t impacted. Our defenses, including IP restrictions and token-binding protections like DPoP, held firm.

The new reality is that security can no longer live inside a single app; it needs to move at the speed of integration. That's why we're championing the IPSIE standard with the OpenID Foundation. It's a framework that creates a common language for identity-based security, enabling shared alerts and instant token revocation across different SaaS providers.

This is how we close the gaps and prevent the next wave of token replay attacks from spreading. It's about securing the entire ecosystem, not just one piece of it.

[Arnab Bose @ArBose]

Super cool to see these deep native integrations with @PaloAltoNtwks launch today. Security is a team sport

[Will Stickney @WillStick]

AI agents are cool - securing agents (and all non human identities) is decidedly less cool and pretty complicated. @okta announces new Cross App Access to help developers and enterprises securely manage how AI agents interact across systems: https://t.co/DD1fpUFkK8

[Will Stickney @WillStick]

When I watched this video, the thing I kept thinking was the person who should be most excited about this is @DanielLurie. A love letter to SF and a reminder why it’s a magical place to live and work.
