What the filing says about AI
46 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI 46 times: AI agents and non-human identities as a market for its identity platforms, and AI in its products.
- “In addition to these established drivers, the emergence of artificial intelligence ("AI") and the deployment of AI agents may, over time, create new opportunities for identity management.”
- “We see a potential long-term opportunity for our platforms to serve as a unified, independent control plane for non-human identities ("NHIs") and AI agents, a distinct class of identity that requires authenticated, secure access to sensitive resources at a scale and speed exceeding traditional security models designed for human users.”
- “Our platforms help organizations effectively harness the power of cloud, mobile, web, and AI technologies by securing and governing users and connecting them with the applications and technology they need.”
- “We are expanding these capabilities to include AI agents with the introduction of new product offerings currently in development and early access.”
- “Developers leverage our Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform to securely and efficiently embed identity for both human users and, increasingly, AI agents into the software they build, allowing them to innovate and focus on their core mission.”
