NewCore

NewCore is an identity security company focused on governing both human and non-human (AI agent) identities within enterprise environments. The company emerged from stealth with $66 million in funding and targets the growing challenge of securing agentic AI workforces alongside traditional human users.

The core premise of NewCore's platform is that modern enterprises are rapidly accumulating non-human identities — AI agents and sub-agents — that operate at machine speed, around the clock, and at volumes far exceeding human activity. NewCore addresses this by treating every AI agent as a first-class identity within the same identity plane as human users.

The platform offers four primary capabilities:

• Agentic SSO: Provides AI agents with a governed, auditable authentication entry point to connected resources, replacing browser-based MFA and passwords that agents cannot use.
• Task-Scoped Tokens: Issues short-lived, narrowly scoped tokens tied to a specific task rather than an agent's permanent role, preventing accumulation of standing access.
• AI Inventory: Discovers and tracks human and AI agents, their interactions, and maintains a full audit trail.
• Machine-Speed Security: Evaluates every authentication request, token mint, and tool call against policy in real time to ensure governance does not become a bottleneck.

NewCore sits inline on the identity layer, processing every authentication request and authorization decision for both humans and agents. It can operate as a standalone solution or alongside an existing Identity Provider (IdP), without requiring migration or disruption to existing human workforce workflows. The platform is aimed at identity and security teams in enterprises adopting agentic AI workforces.
