Cybersecurity startup NewCore emerged from stealth Monday with $66 million in seed funding led by Cyberstarts. The company addresses identity management for both human users and AI agents operating within enterprise systems.
NewCore's platform consolidates identity and access management across human employees and autonomous AI agents—a gap that has widened as enterprises deploy more AI tools across their infrastructure.
The funding round was led by Cyberstarts, with participation from other investors. The startup did not disclose additional financial details or valuation metrics.
As organizations increasingly integrate AI agents into workflows, managing their identities and permissions alongside human users has become a practical necessity. NewCore's unified approach aims to streamline provisioning, authentication, and access controls across both user types.
The company joins a growing category of startups focused on AI-specific security challenges, though most identity management solutions have historically been built for human-only environments.
NewCore's emergence signals investor confidence in identity infrastructure as a critical infrastructure layer for AI-augmented enterprises.
