Okta Acquires Permiso Security for $200M to Bolster AI Agent Identity Threat Detection

Okta has acquired Permiso Security for approximately $200 million, aiming to integrate Permiso's cloud-native identity security platform into its offerings. This acquisition will extend Okta's identity security fabric to include identity threat detection and response (ITDR) for human, non-human, and AI agent identities, addressing a critical and rapidly growing security gap in multi-cloud environments. Permiso's specialized capabilities, including automated AI identity response and the SandyClaw sandbox for detecting AI supply chain attacks, are central to this strategic move.
