Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) and Palo Alto Networks have announced an expanded partnership featuring new AI-driven security integrations to combat identity-based cyber threats. The partnership introduces two key integrations: (1) A connection between Okta Workforce Identity and Prisma Access Browser for secure application access, and (2) Integration of Identity Threat Protection with Cortex SecOps platform for unified identity threat detection.

The collaboration aims to provide nearly 2,000 joint customers with enhanced security features including automated threat response, secure application access across devices, and reduced security blind spots. The integration enables real-time response to threats through features like revoking user access, ending active sessions, and quarantining endpoints.

Okta has announced Cross App Access, a new protocol extending OAuth to secure AI agents in enterprise environments. The protocol addresses the growing challenge of managing AI agents' interactions across systems by providing visibility and control over app-to-app connections. Available in Q3 2025 for select Okta Platform customers, Cross App Access enables enterprises to better manage how AI tools connect to apps and data, while simplifying the authorization process. The solution eliminates repetitive authorization consent screens and provides centralized control over agent access. This development comes as AI tools increasingly use protocols like Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) to connect their AI models to enterprise data, creating potential security blind spots. The protocol helps ISVs deliver secure, enterprise-grade integrations while enabling IT teams to maintain oversight of AI agent activities across systems.
