🔐🤖 Okta CEO Issues 🔥AI SECURITY ALERT🔥 – “Treat AI Agents Like Coworkers!” 🚨
👨💼 Todd McKinnon, CEO of identity titan Okta, just sounded the alarm on the next BIG cybersecurity threat: AI Agents in Live Systems ⚠️
These bots aren’t playing in test mode anymore...
They’re inside your real tools, seeing your real data, and making real decisions 😨💼📊
💬 “AI agents are coworkers now — if they have access, they MUST be verified, tracked, and trusted.”
— Todd McKinnon 🧠🔍
🚨 WHAT’S AT STAKE?
💣 AI can now act alone 🤖
💼 Access sensitive biz systems
🕵️ Leak customer data
🧯 Misuse internal files
🎭 Be spoofed by hackers if not locked down
---
🛡️ SOLUTION = IDENTITY-FIRST SECURITY 🔐
✅ Know WHO is accessing WHAT
👁️ Monitor both humans + AI agents
🔒 Block access unless fully verified
📡 Continuous tracking = safety
🧬 Okta lets companies create a digital identity shield for both humans AND AI bots 🔥
📉 Earnings Up 📈 – But Guidance Stays Cautious
💵 Okta beat on earnings
📉 Stock dropped 11% post-hours
🧠 McKinnon: “We won’t chase hype. We’re building STRONG, not fast.”
🌪️ Global market = too unpredictable for aggressive forecasts
☢️ AI = The New Nuclear Risk?
Max Tegmark warns: “Highly advanced AI could be a 90% existential threat” 🧠💥
Like Oppenheimer’s first test – except this time it’s algorithms, not atoms ⚛️📉
💡 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR CRYPTO USERS:
🧠 AI bots now touch DeFi wallets, smart contracts, customer support tools
💣 If not secured, they could trigger access breaches, trade manipulation, or fund loss
🚨 Every AI agent = a potential point of failure — or a breach in disguise
