Matrix Coverage
Where this product defends, by asset class and NIST CSF function. The Coverage column shows whether each asset is Primary, Secondary, or Adjacent to what the product does. The table omits empty rows and columns.
| Asset class | Identify | Protect | Detect | Respond | Coverage | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Traffic | Detect: Not covered | Respond: Not covered | Secondary | 2 | ||
| AI Agent Identities | Primary | 2 |
Framework Relevance
These frameworks include controls relevant to the asset classes Okta for AI Agents defends. This is an editorial inference from the AI Defense Matrix asset-level crossmap, not a statement that Okta implements these controls or is certified against them.
