BOULDER, Colo. — November 19, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Strata Identity has launched the AI Identity Gateway, an enterprise-grade runtime identity and policy enforcement control point designed for agentic behavior. This gateway, part of Maverics for Agentic Identity, offers organizations a reliable method to authenticate, authorize, and monitor every action an agent takes against upstream services in real time.
Strata has also introduced the Maverics Sandbox for Agentic Identity, available at maverics.ai/labs. This sandbox allows enterprises to experiment safely with pre-integrated identity providers (IDPs), MCPs, APIs, and live policy enforcement using the AI Identity Gateway. The Maverics Sandbox can be set up in under five minutes, without affecting production systems or requiring infrastructure setup.
Users can observe how policies, tokens, and agent identity controls function across agent-to-API calls within a demo application. This provides a way to understand and validate secure agent behavior in a practical setting.
According to Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity, AI agents are becoming a new digital workforce. However, without proper identity management, they lack visibility and governance. The AI Identity Gateway and the Maverics Sandbox enable organizations to experiment with applying policy to each agent action and enforcing access at runtime.
Maverics for Agentic Identity delivers unified identity controls for managing human and agent interactions in real time. It integrates with existing IDPs like Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping, and Keycloak, and connects with agent-specific registries, such as the AGNTCY open-source working group and custom databases.
The AI Identity Gateway functions as a runtime enforcement proxy, extending enterprise identity and access controls into MCP. It validates that every agent tool call carries a verified identity, undergoes fine-grained authorization, and is audited at each step.
This gateway enforces least-privilege access through OPA/Rego policy-based authorization at multiple layers, including initial access and delegated token exchange for short-lived credentials. It also validates proof of possession and maintains audit logs of agent requests, responses, and token exchanges, preventing security threats while ensuring operational visibility.
The AI Identity Gateway operates within the customer’s environment, with policies configured via the Maverics Cloud Console. This hybrid deployment model allows the AI Identity Gateway to function in air-gapped states, such as on-prem agent environments and regulated industries with strict network security needs.
Maverics for Agentic Identity and the AI Identity Gateway are part of Strata’s Maverics platform, which serves as the basis for agentic identity operations. It connects identity systems across clouds, directories, and IDPs, enabling organizations to work with multiple IDPs without code or API rewrites; apply identity, policy, and access signals across agents, humans, and APIs; and integrate telemetry and audit data with SIEM tools such as Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike.
Maverics for Agentic Identity and the AI Identity Gateway are now available in the Maverics Sandbox at maverics.ai/labs.
Strata Identity enables organizations to secure and manage human and agent identities without disrupting infrastructure. The Maverics Platform provides a unified identity layer that extends Zero Trust policies, eliminates redundant IDPs, and ensures access during outages or transitions. CEO Eric Olden co-authored the SAML standard. Strata created the Identity Query Language (IDQL) and the open-source Hexa project, standardizing multi-cloud identity management and policy orchestration.
