Auth0 makes it fast and easy to add secure, scalable authentication and authorization to any application, API, or AI agent. With 30+ SDKs, enterprise-grade security, fine-grained access controls, and support for billions of monthly logins, it helps teams launch faster without building identity from scratch. In this episode, we speak with Gareth Davies, Chief Product Officer at Auth0, and Monica Bajaj, SVP of Engineering at Okta. This conversation centered on how identity is becoming a strategic growth driver in SaaS, especially as AI agents and machine identities multiply and enterprise workflows get more complex. The main takeaway was that modern identity systems need to be organization-aware, multi-tenant safe, and built for self-service so they can scale without creating security, compliance, or engineering bottlenecks. It also highlighted the shift from static role-based permissions to more dynamic, context-aware authorization, and closed with the idea that probabilistic thinking helps teams make better decisions in uncertain, fast-changing environments.

Securing AI Agent & Human Identities: Auth0

SourceForge Podcast

Hello everyone and welcome to the SourceForge Podcast. I am your host, Beau Hamilton. Now we're going to talk about why identity has become such an important issue for B2B software companies and how AI is making it even more complex. Now for a long time, identity was treated as a fairly straightforward part of building software. You give users a secure way to log in, manage their accounts and move on to the features that make the product useful. Right? But for B2B software companies, identity now goes far beyond the login screen. As they start

serving larger customers, they have to support entire organizations each with its own users, admins, login systems. You have to incorporate permissions and integrations and security rules. Increasingly, the organization and not just the individual user becomes the main thing the product has to manage. And that brings up some pretty tough questions. How do you keep each customer's data and access separate without creating a custom setup for every company? How do you give the same person different permissions across different organizations?

And how do you securely manage service accounts, automated workflows, and AI agents working alongside human users? These questions are just becoming even more important as companies move AI agents from early experiments into real world use. And Auth0 has recently expanded its AI agent tools to help developers verify agents, limit what they can do, connect them securely to tools and APIs,

and just keep a clear record of their actions. And joining me to explore all this are Gareth Davis, Chief Product Officer at Auth0 and Monica Bajaj, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Okta. And in our conversation today, we're going to discuss why identity has become such an important part of growing a B2B software company,...
