What happened
At Oktane Sept 22 Okta announced Agent Gateway (runtime policy enforcement + token/session kill-switch in the agent execution path), Shadow AI Agent Discovery for Endpoints, agent SSO with short-lived tokens, and co-founded the 12-vendor Blueprint Alliance to open its agent-security framework into a multivendor reference architecture tested across MCP/OCSF/Shared Signals.
Why it matters
Brings runtime enforcement and revocation to agent identity at a mass-market scale and standardizes cross-vendor agent-containment (token revoke, session termination, quarantine) — the first credible shared agent-security architecture from major platform vendors.
Applicability
Enterprises standardizing agent identity/authorization; IAM teams should pilot Agent Gateway for high-risk agent tool calls and track Blueprint Alliance open standards for cross-vendor signals.
