Okta Advocates Kill Switch For AI Agents
Okta CEO Todd McKinnon said on April 1 that companies deploying AI agents need a built-in "kill switch" to instantly revoke agent access if they go rogue, and Okta positioned itself as the security layer for these agents. Okta's March 15 blueprint urges instant revocation, real-time data-sharing enforcement, human approvals for risky actions, and detailed audit logs to contain risk.
