Enterprise Security Tech has approved the unified identity platform developed by NewCore for access by both humans and AI agents. This platform assigns a unique identity to each agent and a human supervisor, and it also implements governance during runtime.

Tel Aviv and San Francisco, October 29th / PRNewswire / -- NewCore, this agency-based identity company, announced today that it has received recognition from Enterprise Security Tech Cyber Top Innovations Awards for its practices in protecting and managing an increasingly “agent-based” workforce. This award highlights NewCore Agent Guardian, a product that brings governance and accountability to AI agents.

AI proxies are entering corporate employee systems at an increasingly rapid pace. They possess corporate permissions, enabling them to access sensitive applications and data, and can perform operations across multiple systems, often without anyone overseeing each step of the process. Before the emergence of proxies, identity management was already a major point of attack. Today, companies must address more challenging questions: which proxies are running, what can each proxy do, how is their behavior controlled, and who is responsible when they take action? Traditional identity management platforms were never designed for this reality.

Enterprise Security Tech commends NewCore for governing AI agents with the same accountability and security controls that the enterprise already applies to its employees. NewCore treats each agent as a primary identity, on par with human identities, and governs them through a single identity core.

NewCore, co-founder and CEO, Zohar Alon, stated: "The growth rate of AI agents has surpassed the governance capabilities of most companies, and each agent requires the same accountability mechanisms as humans. No security team can review every action an agent takes, nor should they be required to do so. Human judgment should be used for sensitive operations, while the rest should be handled by policies. NewCore implements policy-based safeguards to eliminate long-standing keys and limits each permission to a specific task. For the most sensitive operations, it truly puts manual review and approval in your hands. I am grateful to Enterprise Security Tech for endorsing this approach."

Make every proxy visible, identifiable, and controllable.

Traditional identity systems are primarily designed around human users and applications, with permissions that are relatively predictable. Autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents present different challenges. They can initiate operations, interact with multiple systems, and make decisions at machine speed, often without human supervision at every step.

NewCore focuses on what proxies can do, not just whether they are able to connect to a certain system. Its key capabilities include:

• Each agent has an identity and a responsible person. Each AI agent is assigned its own identity, a designated human responsible person, limited permissions, and a managed lifecycle. A real-time identity map allows for the identification of agents, accounts, applications, and their access relationships among them.
• Immediate, minimal-privilege credentials. The proxy obtains credentials with a very narrow scope and a short validity period for authorized tasks, thereby eliminating broad, long-term access rights.
• A runtime policy is executed with each tool invocation. The policy is assessed with each tool call, allowing for regular activities, preventing prohibited operations, and ensuring that proxies do not exceed the granted permissions. Natural language policies simplify management and identify conflicts before policy deployment.
• High-risk operations require human approval via biometric identification. When an agent attempts to perform sensitive operations, the person in charge will receive an approval request on their mobile device and must confirm or deny it by passing a biometric verification.
• Irreversible accountability records. Audit trails will link each proxy action with its owner, the policies applied, and the approval decisions, clearly identifying who authorized what, when, and for what reason.
• Immediate revocation. If a proxy's activities exceed established boundaries or are no longer necessary, the security team can immediately remove their access rights.

These capabilities are delivered through the unified identity platform of NewCore, which integrates authentication, authorization, security, and governance for both human and proxy identities into a single architecture. It can be deployed in parallel with an enterprise's existing identity platforms.

The recognition of Enterprise Security Tech highlights the increasing importance of identity security as organizations are able to do more than just act as AI agents to assist employees. By managing agents, not only can they be connected to systems, but NewCore also helps companies expand productivity while maintaining the necessary security controls and accountability mechanisms required for today's agent-based workforce.
