Aembit Launches Support for Okta Cross App Access, Extending Enterprise Identity Controls to AI Agents - Hackread
Brief
Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, September 22nd, 2026, CyberNewswire
Aembit , the identity and access management (IAM) company for AI agents, today announced support for Cross App Access (XAA), an open protocol introduced by Okta that lets a user’s existing enterprise identity authorize access to downstream applications without a separate consent step for each connection.
Launching this week as an Okta partner for XAA at Oktane 2026 in Las Vegas, Aembit is making that authorization approach available through Aembit IAM for Agentic AI, which provides verified agent identity, policy-based access enforcement, and auditability.
As agents take on more work across collaboration, project management, development, and data platforms, the number of access relationships enterprises need to govern can grow quickly.

Aembit Launches Support for Okta Cross App Access, Extending Enterprise Identity Controls to AI Agents
Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, September 22nd, 2026, CyberNewswire
Aembit , the identity and access management (IAM) company for AI agents, today announced support for Cross App Access (XAA), an open protocol introduced by Okta that lets a user’s existing enterprise identity authorize access to downstream applications without a separate consent step for each connection.
Launching this week as an Okta partner for XAA at Oktane 2026 in Las Vegas, Aembit is making that authorization approach available through Aembit IAM for Agentic AI, which provides verified agent identity, policy-based access enforcement, and auditability.
As agents take on more work across collaboration, project management, development, and data platforms, the number of access relationships enterprises need to govern can grow quickly.
XAA reduces the authorization burden on end-users by eliminating repeated consent steps as agents connect to approved applications, while Aembit gives security teams a consistent way to control which agents can act, on whose behalf, and under what policy.
“Cross App Access is an important step toward making enterprise identity work for a world where agents increasingly act on behalf of people,” said David Goldschlag, co-founder and CEO of Aembit. “Okta is helping move that model forward, and Aembit makes it practical across the agent access path by connecting user identity, agent identity, and runtime policy in one control point.
We’re proud to be a launch partner and to give joint customers a way to adopt XAA now without waiting for every system in their environment to support it natively.”
For security leaders, agentic AI creates a familiar identity problem at a much larger scale. A single agent may move across multiple services as part of one task, multiplying the number of access relationships enterprises need to govern.
