The Internet Runs on Invisible ID Cards. Keyfactor Wants to Manage Every One.
Certificates quietly decide which machines, workloads, devices, code, and AI agents can be trusted. Keyfactor has spent 25 years turning that hidden machinery into infrastructure security teams can actually see and control.
Oasis Security
Oasis Security is a New York and Tel Aviv based cybersecurity company that built the first enterprise platform purpose-built to discover, secure, and govern non-human identities (NHIs) - the service accounts, API keys, tokens, workloads, and increasingly the AI agents that now vastly outnumber human users in modern cloud environments. Founded in 2022 by former Israeli intelligence engineers Danny Brickman and Amit Zimmerman, Oasis gives security teams a single source of truth for machine identities, automating inventory, posture management, threat detection, remediation, and full lifecycle governance. As enterprises race to deploy AI agents that can act autonomously with real credentials, Oasis positions its Agentic Access Management platform as the control layer that lets companies scale AI without losing control of who - and what - has access.
Token Security
Token Security is a New York- and Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity company that secures non-human identities (NHIs) - the service accounts, API tokens, workloads and, increasingly, autonomous AI agents that now vastly outnumber human users inside enterprises. Its agentless platform continuously discovers these machine identities across cloud, SaaS and AI environments, maps their ownership, permissions and access into a unified identity graph, and enforces least-privilege and lifecycle controls. Founded in 2023 by CEO Itamar Apelblat and CTO Ido Shlomo, the company has raised roughly $27M (Seed plus a $20M Series A led by Notable Capital) and counts customers such as GitLab, Bloomreach, HiBob, Dayforce and BetterHelp.
Itamar Apelblat
Itamar Apelblat is the co-founder and CEO of Token Security, a cybersecurity company focused on securing non-human identities (NHIs) - the service accounts, API tokens, workloads, and AI agents that now vastly outnumber human users inside enterprises. A veteran of Israel's Unit 8200 with more than 15 years in cybersecurity, he founded Token Security in 2023 with Ido Shlomo after encountering a forgotten contractor service account that still had full access to a company's systems. The company emerged from stealth in 2024 and raised a $20M Series A in January 2025, relocating its headquarters to New York as enterprises race to secure the machine-first, AI-agent era.
Howard Ting
Howard Ting is the CEO of Opal Security, a San Francisco identity-security company building a unified control plane for access governance. He took the top job in November 2025 after more than five years running Cyberhaven and two-plus decades scaling category-defining security and enterprise-software companies including Palo Alto Networks, Nutanix, Redis, Zscaler, and RSA Security. A marketing-and-product operator who once demoed Azure Active Directory on stage with Bill Gates, Ting now bets that the hardest unsolved problem in security is authorization: deciding what any human, service, or AI agent should be allowed to do, and for how long.
