Okta decides which agent may connect to what, under whose authority. aizome decides whether what that agent is doing right now is still the job it was given.
aizome is the Identity-first AI Governance Platform. It sits as a single secure exchange (AI Gateway) between every AI agent your workforce deploys and every enterprise system those agents access, governing identity, enforcing intent, controlling cost, and making every agent accountable from day one.
Okta for AI Agents extends Okta’s identity platform to agents: Agent SSO and the Cross App Access protocol for governed agent-to-app connections, Agent Gateway for runtime tool-level control, endpoint discovery for shadow agents, and identity threat detection through its Permiso acquisition.
Okta establishes that an agent is authorized to reach an application, under a named user’s authority, with scoped and short-lived tokens. That is the right foundation and it closes a real gap. It does not answer the next question. An agent authorized to read supplier records in your ERP is still authorized when it reads them for the wrong reason, when a document it processed told it to, or when it keeps going past the task it was given. Every one of those actions is inside its access. Okta’s own roadmap places the answer in 2027. Independent analysis of Oktane 2026 lists semantic intent validation and ephemeral task tokens under intent-aware authorization, with a 2027 timeframe, and notes these should be distinguished from currently deployable controls. aizome evaluates each action against the purpose the agent was given, before it executes. Today.
 (Okta for AI Agents) |  | |
|---|---|---|
| Agent Identity | Agent SSO and Cross App Access, generally available | Six-stage SAML impersonation through your IdP |
| Agent Discovery | Endpoint discovery via CrowdStrike, early access | Every agent connecting to an enterprise system |
| Runtime enforcement | Agent Gateway, generally available for traffic routed through it | Inline on every call, including systems with no gateway |
| Entitlement | Scoped tokens for governed connections | Ceiling set at what the human can do, evaluated behind the tool |
| Intent | Semantic intent validation, 2027 roadmap | Every action checked against declared purpose before execution - today |
| Cost | Outside the model | Per-session token limits, cost drift detection |
| Data protection | Not provided natively; context from partners | 12 categories plus custom patterns, masked and blocked inline |
| Audit | Session traces and runtime telemetry | Identity to tool call to outcome, tamper evident |
Every action compared with the agent’s declared purpose. Drift into tools it was never meant to use, instructions sourced from content it read, and runaway loops are caught as what they are.
Twelve data categories plus your own patterns, masked in tool results before the model reads them and blocked in outbound calls.
A gateway governs what routes through it. aizome connects agents to your core, your ERP, and systems with no modern API, where no gateway integration exists.
Thirty minutes, your environment. We will show you the agents nobody registered.
