We had an incredible three days at Oktane 2026 in Las Vegas, jam-packed with inspiring keynotes and sessions exploring how Okta Secures AI. Over 4,000 attendees gathered to network, hear directly from identity experts, and discover how Okta is building the foundation for the agentic future.
What Product Innovations Were Announced at Oktane 2026?
Oktane Keynote: Secure your agentic future
Okta CEO Todd McKinnon detailed Okta’s strategic roadmap to secure every AI agent across three core pillars: The Blueprint Alliance, Agent SSO, and Okta for AI Agents.
-
The Blueprint Alliance: Okta has partnered with industry leaders across every layer of the tech stack to form a multi-vendor reference architecture that answers four critical questions: Where are my agents? What can they do? What are they doing? How do I respond?
-
Agent SSO Included in Core Plans: Agent SSO brings the seamless, centralized user experience of traditional single sign-on to AI agents, included across all Okta products.
-
Okta for AI Agents introduces endpoint discovery integrated with CrowdStrike and Okta Verify, alongside Agent Gateway—a virtual MCP server providing centralized authorization and a kill switch.
Auth0 Platform Keynote: Turn identity into your growth multiplier for the agentic era
In the agentic era, identity has evolved beyond a functional necessity—it is now a board-level discussion and a direct fuel for business growth. Modern enterprises no longer have to compromise between driving revenue conversions and mitigating risk. With Auth0, organizations can optimize customer acquisition, boost lifetime value, and eliminate friction while protecting their brand against emerging AI security threats.
-
Auth0 Identity Conversion Suite: Featuring Anonymous Sessions and the Experiment Center, Auth0 allows consumer brands to capture customer intent and wishlist data from their very first visit—before login—while enabling natively built A/B testing to optimize conversion flows and eliminate cart abandonment.
-
Universal Components for Agents & Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP): Auth0 brings secure identity directly into conversational AI chats. Universal Components for Agents dynamically renders sandboxed forms for passkeys and payments without exposing sensitive data to LLMs. Additionally, Auth0 is one of the first identity providers supporting Auth for UCP (Google Universal Commerce Protocol), enabling seamless, identity-linked shopping directly inside Google Gemini.
-
Auth0 B2B Connect: B2B companies can now layer enterprise-grade capabilities—including SSO, SCIM, and multi-tenancy—directly onto their existing homegrown auth stacks without costly platform migrations, shrinking multi-year enterprise onboarding efforts down to days.
-
Auth0 Agent Gateway for B2B: Extending tenancy controls to autonomous AI agents, Auth0 Agent Gateway acts as an organization-aware control plane. It manages access policies, credential injection, and audit logging across downstream MCP tools (like Workday, BambooHR, and Slack) tailored per enterprise customer.
-
Realizing Board-Level Business Outcomes: Real-world deployments show that identity directly impacts bottom-line results. For example, Dine Brands achieved a 15% increase in order value through AI commerce channels while reducing account takeovers and loyalty abuse by over 95%.
