Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru
Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru 2026
Identity as the Control Plane for AI Agents
Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru is back, bringing together developers, platform and security engineers, architects, engineering leaders, and builders to explore what it takes to securely bring AI agents into the enterprise.
AI agents are beginning to work across applications, APIs, data, and enterprise workflows, retrieving information, taking actions, and increasingly operating on behalf of users. As these systems become more capable, identity becomes the control plane for determining who or what can access which resources, what actions they can perform, and under what conditions.
At Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru, we’ll explore how identity, authorization, and governance come together to secure AI agents in production.
Through technical sessions, demos, discussions, and real-world examples, we’ll dive into topics including Agent SSO, Cross App Access (XAA), MCP, OAuth, least-privilege authorization, agent governance, secure integrations, and building identity into agentic enterprise workflows.
What to Expect
⚡ Technical sessions focused on identity and authorization for AI agents
⚡ Agent SSO, Cross App Access (XAA), MCP, OAuth, and secure agent access

⚡ Insights into building and integrating securely with the Okta ecosystem
⚡ Interactive activities, quiz, raffle, and community programs
