Okta's $200M Permiso Acquisition Signals Identity Security Shifting from 'Who Logs In' to 'What Runs'

Honestly, this acquisition price is lower than I expected. Permiso specializes in AI agent identity security—basically monitoring non-human accounts like automation scripts, API keys, and AI agents. Okta buying them is a short-term patch for a gap, but long-term it's a bet that the primary computational entities in identity management over the next decade won't be humans.
