Session One: Why Human Access Is the Critical Half of AI Agent Security, Oak
- Agents borrow authority. Coding agents, copilots, and on-behalf-of workflows run with a person’s entitlements, tokens, and roles. What does “agent identity” mean when the agent’s real permissions are someone else’s?
- Inventory isn’t exposure. Knowing which agents and service accounts exist doesn’t tell you what they can reach. How do you measure blast radius when it depends on the human behind the agent?
- Chains break the tools. A single action can cross an agent platform, a cloud role, and a data store through several token exchanges. Where does visibility break down today, and what would end-to-end tracing require?
- Least privilege, applied twice. Should an agent have a narrower scope than its user? What would it take to scope, time-box, and expire access for agents when humans already hold excessive standing privilege?

About Oak
Oak is the AI-native Identity Operating System that rewires enterprise identity and access management. An AI connector framework reaches any application, whether on-prem, cloud, SaaS, or homegrown, then builds a live identity graph from raw evidence across every identity type, including the fast-growing population of non-human identities and AI agents. By mapping the access each identity holds against what it actually uses, Oak governs the full lifecycle of every identity with AI-built real-time risk decisions and root-cause remediation. Oak was founded by Shai Morag and Tal Marom and backed by a $60 million seed round from Greylock Partners, Accel, CRV, Hetz Ventures, and AlphaDrive Ventures.
