Physical badges are out; digital identities are in – but they’re not working as well as we thought.

Israeli startup Oak is here to fix that. With $60M backing, it’s stepping into the spotlight after years of stealth mode, offering a new way to manage employee access without the usual clunky processes.

The co-founders are no strangers to success – Shai Morag has three exits under his belt and Tal Marom brings military-grade security expertise. Their solution? An AI-driven framework that dynamically adjusts permissions based on real-time usage, rather than manual reviews.

But while Oak’s approach is cutting-edge, the market it’s entering is crowded with legacy players. Scaling quickly will be key if they’re to carve out a significant share of an industry ripe for disruption.
