Okta builds shared architecture for agent runtime security
Okta turns agent security into a multivendor blueprint. Here's what enterprises need to control across the stack.
Why it matters
As AI agents move into production, Okta is codifying runtime security controls into a shared reference architecture through the Blueprint Alliance. This addresses a real gap: vendors make competing claims about agent safety, and enterprises lack a common framework to evaluate them. The architecture spans identity, authorization, observability, and containment — critical for agents that execute real workflows.
