Manage AI Agents Access to Protected Servers

Granting autonomous AI agents direct access to infrastructure via standing, unmanaged SSH keys introduces severe security risks, including credential exfiltration, prompt injection attacks, and a lack of user accountability. This course shows Okta administrators how to provide AI agents least-privileged access to the protected servers in Okta Privileged Access using a custom authorization server.

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Replace static credentials with short-lived, least-privileged server access for AI agents.
• Implement a verifiable cryptographic delegation chain to link machine actions to the human operator.
• Set up Workload connections and define Workload roles in Okta Privileged Access to secure AI agents access to protected servers.
• Audit traffic to servers protected in Okta Privileged Access.
