Most companies still cannot say who, or what, has access to their systems at any given moment. Oak, an Israeli startup, has raised $60M to fix that, and it is betting AI agents make the problem urgent.
The company came out of stealth with the seed round, it said. Its aim is an “identity operating system”: a single control plane that governs every identity in a firm, whether a human, a machine, or an AI agent.
Why identity is the target
Identity is the front door to any company, which makes it the top target for attackers. Yet most firms run a patchwork of old tools built for human staff and slow-moving systems. The rush of machine and agent accounts has left them behind.
Oak wants to replace that patchwork. Its software connects to any system, builds a live map of every identity from how it actually behaves, and strips out access that is no longer used. It does this in real time, not in a once-a-year review.
