NewCore Secures $66M to Protect AI Agent Identity

NewCore, an identity security startup, has emerged from stealth with $66 million in funding. This values the company at $300 million. NewCore's platform secures workforce identity for businesses using humans, machines, and AI agents. The company says its system was built to handle the new pressure from AI agents needing quick access to production systems. What's interesting is that it treats AI agents as first-class identities, giving them their own lifecycle and trust score. NewCore also aims to reduce the risk of a single point of compromise in signing infrastructure. The company's goal is to not only manage access but also reduce identity-related risks across the enterprise. This matters because robust identity security is crucial for businesses navigating the complex landscape of AI integration.
