Okta has launched its Customer Identity Cloud to help developers and organisations secure identities in generative AI applications.
The new feature of the Customer Identity Cloud enables customers to implement secure identity standards more easily for typical patterns in GenAI applications.
Okta is integrating the authentication platform Auth0 for GenAI with popular frameworks and libraries like LangChain and Vercel, allowing developers to seamlessly authenticate users and incorporate GenAI capabilities into their applications.
In an interview with AIM, Okta customer identity CTO Bhawna Singh spoke about the growing need to authorise AI agents. She further explained that as these AI agents interact with each other, it is essential that they have the right data access.
Okta offers API management capabilities, freeing developers from repetitive tasks.
AgentAuth is another solution designed for AI agents that supports over 250 apps across categories like CRMs, ticketing and productivity tools.
Okta has been in the identity space for a long time with both enterprise and consumer-level customers.
Research and Markets report projects the AI agents market to grow from $5.1bn in 2024 to $47.1bn in 2030, a CAGR of 44.8% during 2024-2030.
Okta recently opened its innovation centre in Bengaluru as the company sees growing demand for secure workforce identity solutions as tech companies in India continue to innovate.
As India’s tech space grows, cybersecurity is becoming a top priority for everyone and Okta is focusing on tackling cybersecurity challenges.
