NewCore Secures $66M to Solve the Identity Crisis of AI Agents

As AI agents transition from simple software tools to active digital employees, a massive security vacuum is opening in the enterprise. NewCore has emerged from stealth with $66 million in funding to build the identity infrastructure necessary to govern, authenticate, and control this new autonomous workforce.

The Shift from Software Tools to Digital Employees

The enterprise landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift in how it perceives artificial intelligence. We are moving past the era of simple chatbots into an era of "agentic" workflows. Companies like Goldman Sachs have already tested AI coding agents like Devin, and McKinsey reports that 25,000 AI agents are currently working alongside its 60,000 human employees.

This influx of autonomous software creates a critical security bottleneck. Traditional identity platforms—many of which are 15 to 20 years old—were built to manage human logins. As AI agents begin to operate independently, executing tasks and accessing sensitive data, they cannot be treated as mere service accounts or machine credentials. They require "first-class identities" with their own permissions, lifecycles, and revocation mechanisms.

Why Legacy Identity Providers are Failing

While industry giants like Okta and Microsoft (with Entra) are attempting to add AI-compatible features, NewCore argues these are reactionary, "side-car" additions to platforms designed for humans. NewCore’s approach is different: it is built from the ground up for a hybrid workforce of humans, machines, and AI agents.

To solve the problem of centralized vulnerability, NewCore utilizes a "split-key" architecture. This technical approach divides critical identity credentials between the customer and the platform, ensuring that no single point of compromise can grant an attacker full control over an agent's identity. This level of granular, distributed security is essential as agents gain more autonomy.

Integration with the Modern AI Stack

NewCore is specifically targeting the tools developers use every day. The platform offers an "Agentic Skill" integration package designed for high-utility coding assistants, including:

• Anthropic’s Claude Code
• OpenAI’s Codex
• Cursor

Badala ya wafanyakazi kusambaza vigezo vya ufikiaji kwa mkono—kitendo ambacho si salama na hakiwezi kupanuliwa—NewCore inaruhusu zana hizi za AI kufikia mifumo ya kampuni kama utambulisho uliodhibitiwa. Aidha, jukwaa hili linatoa tabaka la usimamizi wa kibinadamu kupitia programu ya simu, likiwaruhusu wafanyakazi kutoa, kupitia, na kuondoa ruhusa za wakala papo hapo.

Mustakabali wa Nguvu Kazi ya Otomatiki

Ukubwa wa mpito huu ni mkubwa sana. Kwa thamani ya dola milioni 300 kufuatia mzunguko wa awali wa uwekezaji ulioongozwa na Cyberstarts, NewCore inabeti kwamba mawakala wa AI hatimaye watakuwa wengi kuliko wafanyakazi wa binadamu katika mashirika yanayolenga teknolojia. Kadiri nguvu kazi inavyozidi kujazwa na wafanyakazi wa programu, uwezo wa kufuatilia, kuruhusu, na kuondoa ufikiaji wao utakuwa kinga muhimu zaidi katika usalama wa mtandao wa kampuni.

Mambo Muhimu ya Kuzingatia

• Ufadhili Mpya & Thamani: NewCore ilikusanya dola milioni 66 katika ufadhili wa awali ulioongozwa na Cyberstarts, ikifikisha thamani yake hadi dola milioni 300 ili kushughulikia usimamizi wa utambulisho wa mawakala wa AI.
• Utambulisho wa Daraja la Kwanza: Tofauti na akaunti za huduma za kawaida, NewCore inachukulia mawakala wa AI kama utambulisho tofauti wenye mizunguko maalum ya maisha na mifumo ya usalama ya "split-key".
• Ujumuishaji Rahisi kwa Watengenezaji: Jukwaa hili linatoa ufikiaji wa utambulisho uliodhibitiwa kwa zana zinazoongoza za uandishi wa kodi za AI kama Claude Code, Cursor, na OpenAI’s Codex.
