Summary
Oak, an Israeli startup backed by $60M from Accel, CRV, and Greylock, emerged from stealth with an AI-native IAM platform that replaces legacy tools by mapping access to actual app usage and removing permissions in real time. Co-founded by Shai Morag (ex-Tenable, Ermetic) and Tal Marom, its AI connector framework triggers on anomalous logins and is already deployed by enterprise clients to address the identity chaos worsened by AI agents. The company plans heavy R&D investment and U.S. hiring to scale against deep vendor lock-in.
