Securing the Era of AI Agents: Trust, Identity, and Scale in India

In this leadership interview, Harish Pari, SVP and GM for AI Security at Okta, discusses organizations' transition into "agentic enterprises" as AI agents move from experimentation to real-world deployment. While these autonomous entities offer significant productivity gains, they introduce complex security risks regarding identity, visibility, and governance. The conversation also explores the risks of "Shadow AI"—agents operating outside official IT visibility—and highlights Okta’s new discovery capabilities and strategic roadmap designed to help organizations secure both human and non-human identities at machine speed.
