Okta expands Cross App Access ecosystem to secure AI agent connections
Identity and access management company Okta Inc. today said more than 25 software makers have signed on to its Cross App Access framework, which routes the connections artificial intelligence agents make to enterprise applications through a company’s identity controls.
The early adopters include Asana Inc., Atlassian Corp., Cloudflare Inc., Datadog Inc., Salesforce Inc.’s Slack, Zoom Communications Inc. and Anthropic PBC’s Claude.
The integrations span the tools where employees start work, the applications that hold corporate data and the developer infrastructure that routes agent traffic. The roster also includes Canva Pty Ltd, Docker Inc., Figma Inc., Linear Orbit Inc., Supabase Inc. and developer tools Anysphere Inc.’s Cursor and Microsoft Corp.’s Visual Studio Code.
Okta introduced Cross App Access, or XAA, in June 2025 as a way to govern agent-to-app and app-to-app connections. Today’s announcement widens the partner roster. Built as an extension of OAuth, XAA now serves as an official authorization extension for the Model Context Protocol, the standard that connects AI models to outside data and tools.
