Check out PlainID’s ALL NEW Agentic Identity Platform

Okta secures your users. Who’s controlling what they can do and expose?

Traditional IAM like Okta might verify your users’ identity, but it doesn’t control what AI agents access, do, or expose. What will you do when:

Agents still operate with

standing permissions and tokens?

Sensitive data exposure is still at risk

across AI workflow?

There’s no enforcement across

prompt, data, tools, and output?

Okta was built for identity; PlainID was built for runtime authorization

Okta (including Auth0 for AI Agents and FGA) extends identity into modern environments, and that remains critical.

If Okta already plays a critical role in your stack, it doesn’t have to change. PlainID completes the picture bringing real-time, policy-based authorization across AI, APIs, applications, and data. Where identity answers who you are, PlainID governs what can happen next, continuously, and in context.

PlainID brings what IAM alone cannot:

Frame

Authorization as a control plane, not an add-on

Centralized, policy-driven decisions across your entire stack

Frame 1

Full data & AI flow control

Govern access across applications, APIs, data, and agentic AI flows, from input to output

Frame

Continuous enforcement with Zero Standing Privileges

Users and agents operate with just-in-time, intent-based access

Frame 1

Out-of-the-box enforcement across your stack

Pre-built integrations for AI frameworks, APIs, and data platforms. No custom stitching required

Why PlainID Is Different for Agentic AI

Discover why Fortune 500 enterprises trust PlainID to securely scale agentic AI systems:

Capability area
Okta / Auth0 for AI Agents
AI & Data Flow Coverage

Data/API retrieval layer only; lacks native prompt or output guardrails

True end-to-end control across the AI flow: Prompt → Data → Tools → Output

Authorization Lifecycle

Fragmented tools (FGA, Token Vault, Identity Engine); developer-managed

Full lifecycle: Discover → Manage → Authorize centrally

Decision Enforcement

Static, relationship-based ReBAC (tuples) and machine tokens

Real-time, dynamic authorization driven by context and intent (ZSP/JIT)

Identity &
Accountability

Treats agents as human identities within traditional workforce directories

Every action tied to human & agent identities, with clear ownership and scope

Prevention Model

Relies on token storage and pre-retrieval filtering; no output masking

Proactive enforcement before data is retrieved or exposed, with built-in output masking

Audit & Explainability

Technical API logs meant for developers

The only solution with business-readable authorization decisions + full audit trail

The only platform that governs the full AI flow, from input to output, as a single control plane, with built-in data enforcement at every step.

Authorizing identity alone is no longer enough. PlainID enforces authorization everywhere decisions actually happen: blocking unauthorized intent even before execution, filtering what data can actually be accessed, governing which tools agents can invoke, and masking and controlling what is exposed. This means sensitive data is never retrieved, used, or exposed unless explicitly authorized in real time.

Built for Agentic Reality

PlainID’s Runtime Authorization Platform is designed for how AI systems actually operate by accessing data, invoking tools, and making decisions across systems in real time.

  • Runtime decisioning in place of one-time checks
  • Intent-based enforcement tied to every action
  • Context-aware policies across APIs, data, and AI

Binding Human and Non-Human Identities

This is the critical control layer missing from traditional IAM. Every decision evaluates:

  • The human user
  • The AI agent
  • The intent of the action

Zero Standing Privileges

Access exists only when it’s needed, and only for the exact purpose it’s required. It’s later revoked immediately after use.

Trusted to enforce authorization at enterprise scale

  • Trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises to secure millions of identities
  • +2k authorization decisions processed annually
  • Built for high-scale, real-time enforcement across complex environments
  • Recognized by Gartner and KuppingerCole in authorization and security platforms

Through 2029, over 50% of successful cybersecurity attacks against AI agents will exploit access control issues.

Get control over your AI agents without replacing your IAM

You don’t need to replace your IAM stack. But you can extend it and control what happens after authentication. PlainID works alongside Okta to:

 

  • Add runtime authorization across AI, APIs, and data
  • Eliminate standing privilege risk
  • Centralize policy control across systems
