The identity security evolution is here, and it’s time to level up. 🚀 This post on the Okta for Developers blog is a developer's guide to strengthening your app's defenses. 🛡️ Learn why modern authentication is critical to identity assurances, and discover the actionable steps you can take to build more secure, resilient applications. Please take a read and let me know what your identity assurance pain points are. 📝 https://lnkd.in/gB6Q2AzV #authentication #security #identity

Just two days to go until the Okta Identity Summit: Securing Agentic AI 🎙️ AI agents are rapidly evolving; no longer just assistants, they’re making decisions, accessing sensitive resources, and automating workflows across applications. 🚀 With this shift comes a new set of challenges: ▪️ Granting the right permissions without creating unnecessary risk ▪️ Preserving user context and ensuring full auditability ▪️ Meeting enterprise security and compliance expectations Join identity, security, and AI leaders as they share practical strategies and field-tested learnings for securing agent-driven systems. We’ll also explore how Cross App Access provides a standards-based way to connect applications and AI agents, safely, compliantly, and at scale. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gq2DC8nv #Okta #Identity #Security #AI #LLMs #Summit #Agents

We had the pleasure of joining Frontiers of AI: Building with Google Gemini & DeepMind, and it was one of those nights that reminds you why community matters. 350+ builders, all leaning in to talk about what’s next for secure, enterprise-grade AI. 🚀 Our Sr. Developer Advocate, Semona, took the stage to share something we’re really proud of, the first look at how Cross-App Access (CAA) and MCP can help AI tools access enterprise apps securely, seamlessly, and without adding friction for users. 🙌 The energy in the room was incredible. Engineers and AI leaders asked thoughtful, real-world questions, from policy controls and token lifetimes to how this fits into their current IdP setups. We walked away with great convos, follow-ups, and real excitement to try out CAA. 🎟️ If you're thinking about how to build safer AI in the enterprise, we’re also hosting a virtual Identity Summit next week, would love to see you there. https://lnkd.in/gq2DC8nv #Okta #CrossAppAccess #OAuth #AIsecurity #Developer #Community #IAM #MCP #Identity #Agents #LLMs #DeepMind #Gemini #Rootly

We had the pleasure of co-hosting Rootly’s AI Security Demo Night at Okta HQ, a thoughtful evening with folks who really care about building secure and safe AI. 🔐 Our Sr. Developer Advocate, Semona, shared the first-ever public demo of Cross-App Access (CAA) - Okta’s way of helping developers secure AI apps without adding friction for users. It’s built on open standards and designed for the real-world pain we all feel: repeated logins, consent fatigue, and managing identity across too many apps. The questions from the room were honest, sharp, and deeply rooted in day-to-day dev struggles. That’s what made the night so special. 🌃 📚 If you’re curious about how CAA works (and why it matters), here’s the blog: https://lnkd.in/gTZRCEWD #Okta #DeveloperCommunity #CrossAppAccess #OAuth #AIsecurity #IAM #DevSecOps #Rootly #Agents #LLMs

Join us at the Okta Identity Summit: Securing Agentic AI 🎙️ AI agents aren’t just assistants anymore. They’re starting to act on behalf of users, making decisions, accessing resources, and triggering workflows across apps. 🚀 This shift brings real technical and security challenges: ▪️ How do we authorize these agents without over-permissioning? ▪️ How do we maintain user-level context and auditability? ▪️ And how do we build trust, with users, buyers, and our own teams, when AI is in the loop? At Okta, we’ve been thinking deeply about these questions. On August 13, we’re bringing the conversation out in the open at the Okta Identity Summit. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gYyWWsec #Okta #Identity #Security #AI #LLMs #Summit #Agents
