Oak, a Tel Aviv-based identity management startup, launched today with $60 million in seed funding from Accel, Greylock Partners and CRV. The company helps enterprises prevent unauthorized access to applications by automatically mapping permissions across their networks.
Led by CEO Shai Morag, who previously founded three cybersecurity startups acquired by Mellanox, Palo Alto Networks and Tenable, Oak addresses a growing problem: each enterprise employee accesses multiple applications, and AI agents compound that complexity by using several programs themselves.
How it works
Oak’s platform identifies every employee’s application accounts and AI agents, then maps access permissions to find risks. It checks for separation-of-duties violations and flags AI agents with unnecessary access — a potential vector if those agents are compromised.
The platform presents findings through a ChatGPT-like interface. Administrators use natural language prompts to investigate incidents and request remediation suggestions. Oak can fix some issues automatically, generating a step-by-step remediation plan that requires approval before implementation.
Oak collects telemetry through pre-built integrations with popular software products, cutting setup from months to days. The company will use the funding to hire more engineers.
