Summary

Graham Neray, CEO and co-founder of Oso, discussed his journey from working at MongoDB to establishing Oso, a company dedicated to creating a unified permissions layer for software applications, with Alan Shimel of Techstrong Group. Neray expressed his passion for solving challenging problems and working with top-tier individuals, noting that he became intrigued by the complex issue of permissions after initially pursuing a different product concept. He highlighted the universal challenge that companies face in developing customized and costly permission systems, which becomes more pressing with the rise of AI agents that require more precise identity and access management. Neray emphasized the importance of transitioning to an automated least privilege model to address over-permissioning, as traditional systems are not equipped for the demands of AI agents, and shared insights into Oso's current work and use of AI to enhance authorization logic and debugging.
