Think your AI agent rollout is moving at a manageable pace? Think again. πŸ“ˆ Speaking on @Bloomberg, our CEO @toddmckinnon shared a concrete story from a recent Okta for AI Agents deal. When the evaluation started, Okta's tools detected 50 agents in the customer's environment. Just a few weeks later, that number had exploded to 1,500 agents. We're officially out of the chatbot phase and into the era of autonomous agents. These agents are incredibly powerful and proliferating fast, but without proper identity management, they introduce massive, unforeseen risks.
