About NewCore

NewCore sells an identity platform for governing access by AI agents, with Discover, Secure and Govern capabilities and an option that also manages people.

NewCore describes the problem this way: identity was built for people who sign in, and a blended workforce of people and AI agents now acts across the business, with no clear ownership of what those agents do. The company says most teams still cannot answer three questions: where the AI agents are, what they can connect to and how, and how to control what they do.[2]

For the first question, NewCore says it maps people and AI agents in one identity graph across every identity vendor a customer runs. The stated aim is to find every agent, who owns it and what it can reach.[1][2]

For the second question, NewCore describes short-lived, task-scoped access, bounded by the permissions of the person the agent acts for. NewCore states that agents hold no standing credentials.[1][2]

For the third question, NewCore says every agent action is checked against one policy engine that returns allow, ask or deny. Access can be revoked from one place, and every decision is tied to an owner.[1][2]

NewCore describes a unified identity plane in which humans and AI agents authenticate, get authorized, are secured and are governed as they reach enterprise apps and systems. Every action is recorded in an audit trail. NewCore says every approved request receives just-in-time, per-action access.[2]

NewCore offers two ways to start. In the first, customers discover, secure and govern their AI agents while the current identity platform keeps handling employee sign-in. That route begins with a read-only connection, and NewCore says nothing has to be migrated. In the second, customers upgrade to one identity platform that manages people and agents together with shared policies and clear ownership. That option includes phishing-resistant sign-in and Secure Split Key for people.[1][2]
