Okta CEO Todd McKinnon believes the current shift to AI and agents is a bigger technological evolution than the shift to cloud computing, and possibly bigger than the internet itself.

Okta has launched a new product, Okta for AI agents, which serves as an identity and connectivity layer for enterprise agents.

Okta CEO Todd McKinnon predicts that the company will employ far more software engineers in five years than it does today due to the expanding capabilities and demand for software.

Okta CEO Todd McKinnon believes the idea of a "SaaSpocalypse" is completely overblown, though some SaaS companies that fail to adopt AI will be left behind.

The primary barrier to deploying practical agentic applications is not model capability, but the complexity of securely connecting systems and data.
