  • Discover[1][2]Maps people and AI agents into one identity graph across identity vendors, showing every agent, its owner and what it can reach.
  • Secure[1][2]Issues short-lived, task-scoped access for agents bounded by the permissions of the person the agent acts for, removing standing credentials.
  • Govern[1][2]Checks every agent action against a policy engine that can allow, ask or deny, letting access be revoked from one place with ownership recorded.
  • Identity Foundation[1][2]Combines human and agent identity management under shared policies, including phishing-resistant sign-in and a Secure Split Key capability.

Where they overlap

  • Non-human identity security is the primary category of both NewCore and Token Security.

  • NewCore is also filed under Workforce IAM and SSO. Token Security is also filed under AI model and agent security and AI governance.
  • NewCore lists Discover, Secure, Govern and Identity Foundation. Token Security lists MCP Server and AI Agent.

How they differ

CISO Tribune files NewCore under Non-human identity security and Workforce IAM and SSO, with Non-human identity security as its primary category. CISO Tribune files Token Security under Non-human identity security, AI model and agent security, and AI governance, also with Non-human identity security as its primary category. The two overlap on AI agent identity: NewCore maps people and AI agents in one identity graph across identity vendors, and Token Security correlates AI agents, humans, secrets, permissions and data in a unified identity graph.

NewCore sells Discover, Secure and Govern capabilities, with short-lived, task-scoped access bounded by the permissions of the person the agent acts for. It checks every agent action against one policy engine that returns allow, ask or deny, and access can be revoked from one place. NewCore also offers an option that manages people and agents together, including phishing-resistant sign-in and Secure Split Key. Its other starting route keeps the current identity platform for employee sign-in and begins with a read-only connection.

Token Security sells a platform that secures the identities supporting agentic AI deployments, covering the full AI agent identity lifecycle. It discovers AI agents and MCP servers automatically and applies intent-aware least-privilege to agents. It also lists threat detection on machine identities and remediation workflows that generate fixes using AI. Its Token MCP Server lets users ask questions from chat applications such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, or from Cursor. Token Security has offices in Tel Aviv and New York, and on May 12, 2026 it announced its inclusion in the Rising in Cyber 2026 list of promising private cybersecurity startups.

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]
