Riverty, a Bertelsmann Group fintech with over 4,000 employees that processes more than 1 billion transactions annually, said the move will strengthen security and governance across countries and teams.

Oak raises $60M to fix AI-era identity management
Israeli startup Oak has emerged from stealth with a generally available identity product after raising $60 million in seed funding. Co-founded by Shai Morag and Tal Marom, Oak offers a unified control plane and an "AI connector framework" that maps access to actual app usage and removes unneeded permissions in real time. The company says its solution is already deployed by enterprise clients, built a 50-person team while in stealth, and is hiring—especially in the U.S. The $60M round was co-led by Accel, CRV and Greylock Partners, with participation from AlphaDrive Ventures, Hetz Ventures and angel investors. Oak positions itself as an AI-native replacement for legacy IAM tools amid growing concerns that AI agents increase identity and access risks.
