Accenture's Playbook for Securing the Agentic Enterprise
Okta, Wednesday, May 13th, 2026
Accenture outlines a framework for discovering, controlling, and securing AI agents within enterprises.
Accenture shares a blueprint for securing AI agents in the enterprise by addressing the identity gap that traditional security controls miss. The strategy emphasizes discovering shadow AI through tools like Okta for AI Agents, implementing centralized kill switches to control rogue agents, and building security into agent development frameworks rather than adding it afterwards.
By extending existing identity governance systems to include machine identities and leveraging open standards like Cross-App Access, organizations can treat AI agents as first-class identities.
This proactive approach allows enterprises to apply the same rigor and controls developed over two decades for human identities to their new agentic workforce, enabling security and innovation to advance together.
