Israeli cybersecurity startup Oak has unveiled its operations after a period of secrecy, securing $60 million in seed funding to develop an AI-driven Identity Operating System.

Securing $60 Million in Seed Funding

The financing round was spearheaded by Accel, Greylock Partners, and CRV, with supplementary backing from Hetz Ventures, AlphaDrive Ventures, and individual investors.

Company Overview

The company, established in late 2025, operates from Tel Aviv and San Francisco and has developed a platform designed to consolidate identity governance into a unified, continuously updated control plane.

Platform Details

This solution is now available for general use and is positioned as a replacement for traditional identity management tools. It supports oversight of human, AI, and machine identities across cloud, on-premises, SaaS, and custom systems. The platform rapidly integrates with organizational applications, analyzing identities through dynamic evidence rather than static records. By mapping access patterns and usage behaviors, the system provides lifecycle management for identities, augmented by AI-powered risk assessments and immediate remediation actions.

Leadership and Vision

Oak’s leadership includes Shai Morag, CEO, who previously founded Integrity-Project (acquired by NVIDIA’s Mellanox), Secdo (acquired by Palo Alto Networks), and Ermetic (acquired by Tenable), and Tal Marom, CPO, who led product initiatives at Tenable and Salesforce.

Marom highlighted that discussions with over 100 CISOs and IAM professionals revealed common challenges, including fragmented tools, limited visibility into access patterns, and difficulties in managing AI agents. He emphasized that identity governance is at a critical juncture, comparable to the consolidation of cloud security through CNAPP solutions, with Oak aiming to unify disparate systems and enhance security operations.

Future Goals and Funding Use

The company’s platform focuses on creating a centralized framework for identity management, leveraging AI to adapt to evolving access requirements and threats. Founders cited the need for a solution that addresses the complexity of modern digital environments, where identities span multiple systems and require real-time monitoring. The funding will support further development and expansion of the platform, targeting enterprises seeking to streamline identity security amid growing reliance on AI and hybrid infrastructure.
