NewCore just raised $66M to give AI agents employee identities. Your CISO's IAM system wasn't built for this.

Your AI agents have more access than your employees. And zero identity governance.

NewCore just emerged from stealth with $66M to fix the "Identity Gap" — the chasm between how enterprises manage human credentials and how autonomous agents actually operate.

The problem is structural. Current IAM systems assume static, human-friendly behavior. AI agents execute thousands of transactions per second, inherit overly permissive credentials from developers, and leave no audit trail when they wander through connected systems.

NewCore's fix: cryptographically signed identities for every agent. Behavioral guardrails that prevent unauthorized API calls even when the agent technically has the token. Zero-trust access that audits every action in real-time.

This isn't theoretical. The WEF's Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 flagged AI vulnerabilities as the second-highest concern for CISOs at highly resilient organizations. 86% of enterprises claim complete AI inventories. 59% admit shadow AI is ungoverned.

The $66M signals something bigger: agent identity management is becoming foundational infrastructure. Not optional. Not next quarter. Now.

Audit your agent inventory today. Map every credential your autonomous systems inherit. If you can't answer "which agent accessed what, when, and why" — you're already behind.

SIGNAL: AI agent identity governance is the next enterprise security bottleneck. Every CISO needs an answer to "how do we manage non-human identities?" — and most don't have one.
