Oasis Security · Dynamic, Intent-Driven Infrastructure Access Control
Best Access Control Platform
Overview
Oasis Security delivers intent-based access control control for Non-Human Identities and AI agents operating across cloud, Saas, and on-prem systems. Rather than enforcing static role-based access control that persists across time, Oasis understands the purpose and context of each access request and grants only the specific privilege required for that specific action in that specific moment. CEO Danny Brickman, the visionary behind Oasis Security has successfully transformed access control from a static, quarterly-reviewed permission model to dynamic, behavior-aligned enforcement at machine speed.
Oasis addresses a critical gap in traditional access control architectures: legacy systems were designed when access requests came from human users with predictable patterns and infrequent changes. Today, service accounts, service principals, roles, and AI agents make thousands of access decisions daily, often in unpredictable sequences and with rapidly shifting contexts. Traditional access control cannot keep pace with this scale and dynamism. Oasis is built for this modern reality, applying real-time context, intent analysis, and behavioral enforcement to secure autonomous access at the infrastructure level.
Key Capabilities
Oasis delivers a purpose-built identity and access management platform designed specifically for the rise of NHIs and AI agents. Unlike traditional PAM and IAM solutions built around static human access, Oasis secures machine and agentic identities operating across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments through continuous visibility, lifecycle governance, threat detection, and intent-aware access control, all powered by a customer-obsessed product approach built around real enterprise security challenges.
Key product and capabilities include:
- AI-driven discovery and visibility across all Non Human Identities and AI agents, continuously mapping ownership, privilege, usage, and blast radius in real time across hybrid environments.
- Full Non Human Identity lifecycle governance from creation through retirement, including policy-based provisioning, ownership assignment, least-privilege right-sizing, credential rotation, continuous attestation, and safe decommissioning.
- Agentic Access Management (AAM), Oasis' purpose-built platform for governing AI agent access through intent-based access controls, dynamically aligning policy enforcement to what an AI agent is attempting to do in real time.
- The Agentic Access Management Framework, the industry's first practitioner-built framework for securing AI agents and machine-to-machine access, developed alongside Sequoia Capital and leading CISOs.
- Oasis Scout powered by AuthPrint, the industry's first ITDR solution purpose-built for Non Human Identities, delivering high-fidelity detection and response for credential misuse, anomalous behavior, and identity-based attacks.
- Automated Provisioning capability automates the creation, governance, and lifecycle security of NHIs, reducing human error and improving operational efficiency for enterprise identity teams.
How we are different
Oasis stands in a lane of its own because its co-founders recognized and executed before the industry that the shift from static, human-centric access control to intent-aware, machine-speed governance would define the future of identity and access management, as autonomous machine and AI-driven identities operating across the enterprise at a massive scale became the norm. Long before NHIs and AI agents became one of cybersecurity's largest-fastest growing attack surfaces, Oasis identified a critical gap in traditional IAM, PAM, and IGA platforms noting that they were built for static human access, not autonomous systems acting at machine speed.
Rather than adapting legacy identity architectures for the AI era, Oasis was purpose-built from day one to govern and secure Non Human Identities and AI agents at the infrastructure layer. Today, machine identities outnumber humans more than 100 to 1, yet most enterprises still lack visibility, ownership, governance, and enforcement over the identities powering cloud infrastructure, automation, APIs, and AI workflows. Oasis changes that by delivering continuous discovery, lifecycle governance, real-time risk visibility, and intent-aware access control purpose-built for the machine identity era.
What truly differentiates Oasis is its approach to Agentic Access Management. While much of the industry is attempting to fold AI agents into existing PAM models, Oasis recognized that AI agents introduce an entirely new security paradigm. Its Agentic Access Management platform understands intent, not just static permissions, dynamically determining what an AI agent is trying to do and granting precise, time-bound access in real time. Instead of relying on standing privileges or long-lived credentials, Oasis provisions ephemeral access aligned to business context, dramatically reducing risk while preserving the speed and autonomy enterprises need to scale AI adoption.
Oasis also introduced the industry's first practitioner-built Agentic Access Management Framework, developed alongside Sequoia Capital and leading CISOs, creating a structured model for governing AI agent access across the enterprise. Combined with innovations like Oasis Scout powered by AuthPrint, the Non-Human Identity Threat Center, Automated Provisioning, and the Non-Human Identity Management Certification, Oasis is not simply participating in the category, it is actively defining it.
That leadership has been strongly validated by the market. Oasis recently raised a $120M Series B led by Craft Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, and Accel, bringing total funding to $195M and reinforcing strong industry conviction that Non Human Identity and agentic access governance are becoming foundational infrastructure for the AI enterprise. A leading AI computing platform provider also selected Oasis to support upcoming initiatives, further reinforcing its role in enabling secure AI adoption at scale.
Trusted by Fortune 1000 organizations including MARS, Chipotle, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Citizens Bank, Oasis is redefining what identity and access management must become in an era where AI agents, automation, and machine identities increasingly drive how enterprises operate, innovate, and scale.
