Okta is the first to bring AI agent governance inside FedRAMP boundaries
Summary

Okta has made its AI agent governance platform generally available for FedRAMP- and HIPAA-regulated environments, becoming the first independent identity platform to manage AI agent lifecycles inside compliance boundaries. The product, Okta for AI Agents – Core, treats agents as first-class identities with unique IDs, named human owners, and scoped short-lived tokens, replacing static service accounts or API keys. It provides a kill switch, audit logging to SIEM, and least-privilege enforcement across authorization servers and MCP servers, addressing risks from the recent executive order mandating secure AI agent adoption in federal agencies.
