How exposed is your AI?
Most boards can answer that question about their financial assets, their operational risks, their regulatory exposure.
Very few can answer it about their AI agents.
And that silence is the risk.
AI agents are already inside the enterprise accessing sensitive systems, executing business logic, moving through data pipelines. Operating under permissions that were granted at setup and rarely revisited. Without the access controls, governance frameworks, or lifecycle management that every other consequential enterprise actor operates within.
The numbers are hard to ignore:
✅ 97% of organizations that suffered an AI breach had no formal access controls in place
✅ 80% of companies report their AI systems have already taken unintended actions
✅ 40%+ of agentic AI initiatives will be abandoned before production not because the technology failed, but because governance wasn't ready
This is a governance problem.
AI agents need to be treated as first-class identities, authenticated, authorized, governed, and auditable, with the same rigor applied to every human user in your organization.
Identity is the control plane for secure AI adoption. Without it, you're not managing AI risk. You're hoping it doesn't surface.
The question boards should be asking their security leadership right now isn't "are we using AI?" It's "do we know how exposed we are?"
Okta's AI Identity Security Assessment gives your team a clear, scored answer, identifying where trust breaks down, where risk concentrates, and what to address first.
