Cybersecurity startup NewCore has stepped out of stealth with $66 million in funding, positioning itself for a future where AI agents operate alongside human teams as managed digital workers.
The round was led by Cyberstarts, with participation from Index Ventures and Evolution Equity Partners. The company is now valued at $300 million after the investment.
NewCore's core idea is simple but timely: as organizations assign more tasks to AI agents, those systems will need clear identity, access, and governance rules. The platform is built to handle human and AI identities in one place, giving each agent permissions, lifecycle controls, and revocation tools.
Co-founder and CEO Zohar Alon, who previously founded cloud-security company Dome9, says older identity platforms were designed for people, not autonomous software workers. NewCore argues that AI agents should be treated as first-class identities rather than as basic machine accounts.
The startup also offers integrations for coding tools such as Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, and Cursor, allowing enterprises to manage agent access more cleanly. Its split-key approach is designed to reduce single points of compromise, while a mobile app lets employees review and approve agent permissions.
With more than 50 employees across the U.S. and Israel, NewCore is already working with a small group of customers and design partners, and plans to begin charging this summer. As AI agents become more common in business operations, identity management may become one of the defining layers of the next workplace era.
