The Control Plane for Agentic AI: Why We Invested in Oasis Security

Since OpenClaw and Opus 4.6 were released a few months ago, the promise of agentic AI has finally become a reality. Enterprises are hungry to deploy autonomous, always-on, long-running agents,  and with this hunger, the pressure on CISOs to enable adoption securely has  accelerated sharply. 

Agents present an entirely new attack surface and threat for the enterprise. These are tools that can autonomously take actions, query systems, write code, and interact with data on behalf of users. They take action at machine speed, and when left alone, will figure out the best way to accomplish its given task even if it requires breaking policy or accessing data it shouldn't.  The security infrastructure underlying most enterprise environments was designed for a different era. It was built to manage human access, defined by known identities, predictable behavior, and relatively static permissions. AI agents don't fit that model. They act autonomously and require access to do their jobs. Every one of those access events is a potential risk, and most organizations have no systematic way to control them.

What enterprises lack is a system to govern that access, or a control plane that allows agents to safely operate on enterprise data, with appropriate visibility and governance.  That's the gap Oasis Security is closing.

Oasis provides the infrastructure to manage non-human identities (such as AI agents, bots, service accounts, and automated tools) across the enterprise. The platform gives security teams visibility into what these identities are, what they can access, and what they're actually doing. That last part is particularly important in a world where threats move at the speed of AI and runtime understanding isn't optional. Static snapshots of an environment aren't sufficient when the attack surface is dynamic and the adversaries are automated.

Danny Brickman and Amit Zimerman saw this shift early, and that foresight is translating into enterprise adoption. Fortune 500 companies, particularly in financial services, are deploying AI agents at surprising speeds. The customers adopting Oasis, including LifeLabs, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Citizens, have some of the most sophisticated and demanding security standards. They are all standardizing on the Oasis platform.

We're glad to be partnering with Mike Robinson and the team Craft Ventures once again for Oasis's Series B, as well as Sequoia and Accel on this round. Most importantly, we’re super excited to be supporting Danny, Amit, and the Oasis team as they build the Agentic Access Management platform the world needs.
