NewCore Raises $66M to Redefine Workforce Identity in the Age of AI Agents

Tel Aviv and San Francisco — Cybersecurity startup NewCore today emerged from stealth mode, announcing a $66 million Series A funding round led by Cyberstarts, Index Ventures, and Evolution Equity Partners. NewCore launched a security-first identity platform built specifically for agentic enterprises, designed to provide identity management infrastructure from scratch for the new workforce that now exists — humans, machines, and AI agents.

As AI agents become increasingly capable of executing tasks independently, enterprises face the challenge of securely managing and governing these "digital employees." NewCore's identity platform has been redesigned from the ground up to not only support traditional employee identities but also assign unique digital identities to AI agents, with granular access control and audit capabilities over their actions. The founding team, comprised of seasoned experts in cybersecurity and enterprise IT, played key roles in Check Point's acquisition of Dome9, giving NewCore's product deep real-world DNA.

Market analysts believe the large-scale deployment of AI agents is driving demand for a new generation of identity security solutions. NewCore’s funding size and investor lineup signal strong capital confidence in the agentic identity management space. As autonomous systems become more embedded in enterprise operations, security infrastructure like this could become a core component of responsible AI deployment, helping businesses strike a balance between innovation, governance, and security.
