Identity is broken. The systems companies use to manage who can log into which systems are old and increasingly the main way attackers get in. Most were built 15+ years ago for a world where the only users were human employees logging into apps, not AI agents that appear in seconds and need instant access to important systems. NewCore is a new identity platform built from scratch for this reality. It’s a single system that finds, secures, and governs every identity in a company (humans, machines, and agents alike) to remove whole categories of risk, not just manage access. Designed security-first from day one, it eliminates the structural weaknesses older systems were built on, which account for some of the biggest breaches of recent years. The company is led by Zohar Alon a three-time cybersecurity founder who we’ve known for over a decade. Zohar brings nearly 30 years of experience in the industry and is joined by Amihai Neiderman, a Unit 8200 alum and veteran offensive security researcher, as well as Erez Yarkoni, former Chief Information Officer at T-Mobile USA and Telstra. Today NewCore emerges from stealth with $66M in funding. We’re excited to partner with them alongside our friends at Cyberstarts and Evolution Equity Partners as they rebuild workforce identity for the agentic era. https://lnkd.in/eR8kPBZT
