NewCore, a startup founded by former Check Point executive Zohar Alon, raised $66 million（約110億円） to build identity and security systems designed from the ground up for workforces mixing humans and AI agents — addressing what it sees as a critical gap in existing enterprise platforms.

What happened

NewCore emerged from stealth with $66 million（約110億円） in funding led by Cyberstarts, valued at $300 million（約480億円） after investment. The startup has grown to more than 50 employees and is being used by fewer than 10 customers and more than 10 design partners, with plans to begin charging customers this summer. Co-founder Alon argues that existing identity platforms — originally designed for human employees — are ill-suited for managing AI agents at scale.

Why it matters

Companies are increasingly deploying AI agents as workplace participants: Goldman Sachs tested the Devin coding agent as a new employee, and McKinsey reported that 25,000 AI agents already work alongside its 60,000 employees. Alon contends that identity systems have become a weak link in enterprise security, and that the scale and complexity AI agents will add to 15–20-year-old identity platforms could break them. NewCore's platform treats AI agents as first-class identities with their own permissions, lifecycle controls, and revocation mechanisms, rather than as traditional service accounts.

What to watch

The platform includes an 'Agentic Skill' integration for coding assistants such as Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex and Cursor, allowing them to access enterprise systems as managed identities. Employees can use NewCore's mobile app to grant, review and revoke access for AI agents. Alon predicts AI agents could outnumber human employees at many technology-focused organizations within a few years, making identity governance a priority for enterprises scaling autonomous systems.
