PlainID
PlainID is an Israeli cybersecurity company and the recognized pioneer of Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC). Its authorization platform lets enterprises define, manage, and enforce who can access what across applications, data, APIs, microservices, and - increasingly - AI agents, replacing the tangle of hard-coded access rules scattered across systems with centralized, dynamic, real-time policy decisions. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tel Aviv with a strong New York presence, PlainID has raised roughly $99-100M and serves Fortune 500 organizations across financial services, healthcare, telecom, and government.
Oren Harel
Oren Ohayon Harel is the CEO and co-founder of PlainID, the Tel Aviv- and New York-based authorization company that turned policy-based access control (PBAC) from an XACML white paper into a category. He founded PlainID in 2014 with Gal Helemski and Dmitry Tuchinsky after a decade spent inside Israeli banking security, most recently as Deputy CISO at Bank Hapoalim. He raised a $75M Series C led by Insight Partners in December 2021, bringing PlainID's total funding to roughly $100M.
