en.Wedoany.com Reported - Okta CEO and co-founder Todd McKinnon recently held a media roundtable in Japan, emphasizing the importance of the Japanese market to the company's global strategy.

McKinnon noted at the outset that Japan is home to many large enterprises with world-renowned brands, and providing Okta's products and technologies to these customers is a key part of the company's strategy. Currently, Okta serves over 1,000 customers in Japan. Beyond employee and customer identity protection, inquiries regarding AI agent security are growing, becoming a new business area for the company.

The vehicle for this new business is the "Okta for AI Agents" product, which was fully launched in April. McKinnon outlined the product's main features: discovering AI agents within the enterprise, managing the data and applications that serve as connection targets, and controlling the actions and permissions allowed for AI agents. He particularly emphasized the management of connection targets between AI agents and data or applications, noting that if everything is called an "agent," the term loses its meaning, and the key lies in managing the connections between systems.
