DeveloperWeek 2025

Shiven Ramji, President, Customer Identity Cloud, Okta

Sam Altman predicted that 2025 would be the year agents join the workforce. And we are starting to see that almost every company is making ongoing, internal or external efforts to create apps with GenAI. We must ensure they remain secure as we see the rise of AI apps and agents that integrate with our applications and act on our behalf.
Authentication and security for GenAI apps are not optional. Startups and enterprises across industries are betting on agents to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth; it will be crucial to prioritize and adopt identity best practices to secure users, applications, and data.
Join Shiven Ramji, President, Customer Identity Cloud, Okta, as he shows developers how to implement authentication and authorization requirements for GenAI apps and agents. He will explain how to securely get agents to call APIs on users' behalf, implement secure “human in the loop” flows for background agents, and ensure and enable fine-grained access control when doing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
You'll see how securing identity is the missing piece to making AI agents mainstream and learn how to solve it.
