Backed by $60M in funding, Oak steps out of stealth to fix the identity mess that AI agents are making worse

Israeli startup Oak has emerged from stealth mode with $60 million in seed funding to address growing challenges in identity management exacerbated by the rise of AI agents. The company aims to replace outdated identity and access management (IAM) systems with an AI-native platform that dynamically adjusts user permissions based on real-time app usage, reducing security risks. Oak's solution is already being used by enterprise clients, though specific names have not been disclosed. Founded by Shai Morag, a veteran in cybersecurity with previous exits, and Tal Marom, the startup focuses on automating IAM processes to mitigate vulnerabilities like outdated credentials and unauthorized access. Oak plans to expand its R&D and growth efforts, with a significant portion of its workforce relocating to the U.S.
