Control AI agents and other non-human identities with Okta and AWS

Securing non-human identities (NHIs) is a critical challenge for modern organizations. With NHIs outnumbering human identities 50 to 1 in some enterprises, they have become a significant attack vector. Nearly half of all organizations have experienced compromised NHI accounts or credentials in the past year, and another 26% suspect they have. The extensive access NHIs often require makes them a prime target for identity-based attacks.

Report Snap Shot

  • New threats emerge: The rise of GenAI tools, such as those used in cloud platforms like AWS, introduces new threats like prompt injection and data poisoning. Bad actors can also exploit these tools for shadow access and lateral movement to sensitive systems.
  • The solution: A unified identity-first security approach is essential to mitigate these risks. By unifying identity systems on a single platform, organizations can gain better control over their NHIs, improve administrative efficiency, and eliminate gaps in visibility and enforcement.
  • A secure foundation: AWS and Okta work together to provide a secure foundation for the next generation of intelligent automation. The Okta Identity Platform helps ensure that identities remain secure, governed, and auditable, whether you're deploying AI agents in AWS or leveraging Amazon Q across teams.
