Webinar: How to Govern AI Agents, Reduce Excessive Access, and Control Shadow AI

The Hacker NewsSep 28, 2026Identity Security / AI Agent Security

AI agents are moving into production faster than security teams can govern them. They are connecting to apps, handling data, calling APIs, and acting across business systems—often without the same controls applied to human users.

According to Okta’s Global CISO Insights 2026 report, only 47% of CISOs are confident they can identify every AI agent in their environment. Even among those who feel confident about visibility, roughly 80% still worry that excessive access may be going unreviewed.

That is the real problem: seeing an agent is not the same as controlling what it can do.

Join Matt Immler, Regional CSO at Okta, for a practical session on how to bring AI agents under stronger identity governance before excessive access becomes harder to contain.

Most Organizations Are Still Using Yesterday’s Controls

AI agents create a new identity challenge, but many organizations are still managing them with controls designed for traditional service accounts.

Only one in four organizations surveyed has adopted a purpose-built framework for securing AI agents. Meanwhile, 21% still rely on shared credentials or broad-permission service accounts.
