NewCore raises $66 million to manage identities for AI agents

NewCore has launched with $66 million in funding and a focus on identity infrastructure for AI agents. The company argues that enterprises will need to manage agents as a new class of digital worker, not just as scripts or API clients.

That raises practical security questions: which systems can an agent access, who approved it, what can it do, and how should its actions be audited? Those issues become harder as agents operate across SaaS tools and internal data.

The funding suggests investors expect agent identity, permissions, and governance to become a major enterprise software category.
