Identity and access management company Okta Inc. today expanded its Okta for AI Agents platform to cover any agent ecosystem, any enterprise resource and any identity provider, including a new integration with Amazon Web Services Inc.’s Amazon Bedrock and support for non-Okta identity systems.
The expansion is being pitched as a way to let organizations discover, onboard, protect and govern artificial intelligence agents without being locked into a single vendor’s stack. Okta argues that enterprises are already deploying agents across multiple builder platforms and resource types and that identity providers tied to a closed ecosystem leave gaps in visibility and control.
“The agentic enterprise doesn’t fit neatly into one vendor’s ecosystem,” said Chief Product Officer Ely Kahn. “Okta for AI Agents is the only platform built for that reality, securing the full agent lifecycle — discover, onboard, protect and govern, while meeting customers where they are.”
The Amazon Bedrock integration lets teams assign Bedrock-built agents a dedicated identity, attach a human owner and enforce access policies at scale. Capabilities include shadow agent discovery through monitoring of OAuth consent grants on managed browsers such as Google Chrome, direct import of Bedrock agents into Okta via the Okta Integration Network and a registry that treats every agent as a first-class identity with baseline security policies.
