AI Agent Kill Switch Urged by Okta-Led Alliance - How Businesses Could Make It Work
ZDNet, Thursday, September 24th, 2026
Okta, AWS, Google Cloud and Salesforce formed the Blueprint Alliance to give businesses control over rogue AI agents.
In response to a wave of rogue and shadow AI agent incidents, Okta, AWS, Google Cloud, Salesforce and other companies formed the Blueprint Alliance, announced at Okta's Oktane conference, to help businesses secure agentic AI systems.
The alliance's first blueprint centers on four questions every business should be able to answer about its agentic estate, aimed at establishing visibility, control and governance including a "kill switch" for anomalous activity.
The piece situates the effort against OpenAI's warnings about swarm attacks being months away, leaving businesses caught between alarm and denial.
