Identity access management company Okta Inc. announced new capabilities across the Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform designed to help enterprises securely adopt artificial intelligence agents. Up first is the introduction of Okta for AI Agents, a new platform that integrates AI agents into an identity security fabric, enabling organizations to discover, provision, authorize and govern nonhuman identities at large scale. Okta for AI Agents includes Identity Security Posture Management for identifying risky agents and exposed credentials, Universal Directory for agent registration and ownership attribution and Okta Privileged Access for enforcing least-privilege access. The platform is complemented by Okta Identity Governance and the company’s AI-driven Identity Threat Protection to provide continuous monitoring, audit trails and automated remediation. The second announcement sees the introduction of Cross App Access or XAA, an open standard that extends OAuth to secure agent-driven and app-to-app interactions. XAA shifts access control from individual apps to the identity layer, giving enterprises real-time visibility and policy-based enforcement. Okta says the protocol also reduces user friction by pre-approving integrations, minimizing repeated consent prompts. It will be embedded in Auth0 for business-to-business developers to simplify secure integration of AI agents into applications. The final announcement, planned for the company’s 2027 fiscal year, is Verifiable Digital Credentials, an open standard offering that will allow organizations to issue and verify tamper-proof, reusable identity data such as government IDs or certifications. VDCs, when launched, will allow individuals to digitally prove their identity or eligibility across applications while limiting exposure to AI-driven fraud and deepfake threats. An initial digital ID verification capability supporting mobile driver’s licenses is slated for early availability in fiscal 2026.
Okta Fine-Grained Authorization addresses overprivileged AI agent accounts by enforcing policy-based access control, dynamic credential rotation, and least-privilege identities
Alongside the technological side in securing trust, there’s a human side. That misalignment inspired Anthropic Identity LLC and the company’s human-centric focus to identity management and security, according to James Bonifield, chief executive officer of Anthropic Identity. Agentic AI is forcing enterprises to confront identity issues that were long overlooked. Overprivileged accounts, once a manageable risk, become dangerous when paired with AI agents that can instantly exploit digital trust gaps, according to Bonifield. “As these application teams and as these companies are looking to make their applications available for agentic AI and building some of these capabilities, there’s a lot of modernization that needs to happen, both in terms of the identity side and the application side,” he said. “We’re doing a lot of work around tools like Okta’s Fine-Grained Authorization in terms of being able to bridge that gap between legacy technologies and legacy authorization models and leveraging a tool like that.” Authentication tools are maturing, but authorization remains a “wild west” as enterprises prepare apps for AI integration, Bonifield added. Okta and its partners — including Anthropic Identity — are working to define best practices for managing non-human identities and fine-grained authorization.

Socure opens access to proprietary risk and ID Graph Intelligence with debut of Socure Signals
Socure has launched Socure Signals, giving enterprises direct access to the feature store powering Socure’s market-leading ML models and the industry’s most accurate identity and risk decisions. By opening access to the same data attributes, probabilistic features, and graph consortium intelligence that fuel Socure’s fraud and identity models, enterprises gain the transparency and flexibility to fine-tune strategies, tailor machine-learning models to their own problem set, and outpace complex AI-powered fraud schemes. Socure Signals introduces three categories of intelligence, each capturing a different layer of risk: Input-Derived Signals: Data attributes from PII, documents, biometrics, and behavioral interactions, including phone carrier type, email domain age, ID barcode fields, selfie liveness, and click-path behavior. Model-Derived Signals: Advanced, probabilistic features from Socure’s proprietary AI models, such as perplexity scores for randomized identifiers, as well as computer vision variables that detect subtle document tampering, injection attempts, or presentation attacks. Graph-Derived Signals: Insights from Socure’s proprietary Identity Graph, linking billions of entities, devices, and behaviors across industries to expose cross-institution fraud rings, velocity anomalies, and consortium-level first-party fraud patterns. Delivered via API alongside Socure’s model risk scores and reason codes, these signals give organizations the precision and transparency to understand both why a score was returned and the attributes driving it. Within Socure’s RiskOS™ platform, organizations can integrate Signals into custom rules, adaptive workflows, and decisioning paths — enabling fraud teams to respond to emerging threats in real time. In pre-launch testing, a top-tier fintech used phone-specific signals to uncover systemic fraud concentrated within a handful of phone carriers, each showing fraud rates above 90%. By creating custom rules to step up verification for applicants tied to these carriers, the organization was able to disrupt coordinated fraud ring activity and prevent additional losses before they scaled.
