The joint architecture delegates user-agent permission decisions to Okta while relying on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to manage runtime tool execution. The workflow protects systems by converting authorization grants into short-lived access tokens stored safely in a dedicated token vault. In practical performance benchmarks, credential redemption added only about 0.6 seconds of latency to a standard 30-second end-to-end request. Implementing this setup requires access to an AWS account configured with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and an Anthropic Claude model.

Govern AI agent access with Okta Cross App Access and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore – Part 1
An AI agent that updates a ticket or reads a customer record acts for a person, inside applications that person can reach. Your identity team then has to answer a question that per-app OAuth consent and shared service accounts leave open: which agent might act for which user in which application, and how you stop it. Okta Cross App Access (XAA) answers it in your identity provider (IdP). You register the agent in Okta, an administrator approves the applications it might reach, and Okta evaluates policy each time the agent asks to act for a user. In our tests, after an administrator removed a user’s assignment to the agent, Okta refused the agent’s new requests for that user within about 1 second, and tokens already issued expired within 5 minutes.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is a platform to build, connect, and optimize agents at scale, with any framework or model. This solution uses two of its capabilities to carry out Okta’s decision on…
State-level voter restrictions on energy- and water-intensive data centres have triggered sharp sell-offs in semiconductor and artificial intelligence infrastructure shares. These sudden regulatory hurdles have reignited broader market fears over circular financing, questionable revenues, and unsustainable debt structures across the sector. Heavily leveraged firms now face prolonged development timelines and surging capital costs to secure alternate power and operational sites.
OpenAI has secured $11 billion in new funding, according to a report from Bloomberg News. The investment values the artificial intelligence company at $1.25 trillion.
The artificial intelligence company has completed the initial portion of a massive investment round reported on Friday. This injection of fresh capital marks a major financial milestone as the firm continues advancing its broader financing efforts.
