NewCore Emerges From Stealth Mode With $66 Million in Funding

The startup has built a security-first identity platform to protect humans, machines, and AI agents. The post NewCore Emerges From Stealth Mode With $66 Million in Funding appeared first on SecurityWeek .

According to the report, NewCore has emerged from stealth with $66 million in funding to build a security-first identity platform that discovers, secures, and governs identities for humans, machines, and AI agents under a single architecture.[1][2][9] The platform treats AI agents as distinct identities with their own lifecycle, trust scoring, revocation, and continuous discovery of shadow accounts, orphaned credentials, and unmanaged agents.[1][2] From a CyberSE.AI perspective, this focus on AI-agent identity and lifecycle management directly targets AI agent abuse risks such as compromised agents, spoofed identities, and uncontrolled proliferation of agentic accounts. Organizations deploying such platforms should pair them with Secure AI Agent Build, AI Agent Business Logic Audit, and Continuous AI Red Teaming to validate identity controls, test for abuse paths (e.g., privilege escalation through agents), and continuously probe for misconfigurations or gaps in AI-agent governance.
