Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) President and COO Eric Kelleher announced that rapidly evolving AI technologies are prompting enterprise customers to seek clarity on securing AI agents, a significant issue for the identity-security market. Kelleher spoke at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, highlighting that companies face confusion due to numerous vendor claims about autonomous software risks.
To address these challenges, Kelleher introduced Okta’s ‘Blueprint for the Secure Agentic Enterprise,’ which focuses on three key considerations for deploying AI agents: deployment locations, connectivity, and authorized actions. He noted that Okta’s AI-agent product became generally available on April 30, leading to dozens of transactions, including a multimillion-dollar deal with a Fortune 50 healthcare company that saw an increase in deployed agents from 50 to 1,500 during initial discussions.
Okta has organized its sales force to better address customer needs and reports positive performance across its identity businesses, with a 59% and 41% revenue mix from workforce and customer identity solutions, respectively. Kelleher also noted that Okta’s new product portfolio contributed 30% of bookings in the last quarter, with further developments expected at the upcoming Oktane user conference.
