NewCore Named Identity Management Platform of the Year in the 10th Annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards

NewCore, the next-gen IdP for humans and agents, today announced it was named Identity Management Platform of the Year by the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards. The annual award program recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global information security market that drive innovation and exemplify the best in cybersecurity and risk management technology solutions worldwide.

NewCore secures and governs a workforce of humans and AI agents. The platform discovers identities across systems and directories, surfaces orphaned, dormant, and over-privileged accounts, and brings authentication, access, security, and governance into a single identity core.

For AI agents, NewCore provides the controls organizations need to deploy them safely, including clear ownership and accountability, scoped and time-bound permissions, no standing credentials, continuous visibility into agent activity, and the ability to quickly revoke access when needed.

NewCore's architecture is also designed to eliminate entire classes of identity attacks. Secure Split Key (SSK) cryptographically splits token-signing authority between NewCore and the customer, reducing the risk of attacks such as Golden SAML and token theft. Together, these capabilities give organizations defense-grade security and unified governance across human and agentic identities.

“We're thrilled and honored to be named Identity Management Platform of the Year by CyberSecurity Breakthrough. This recognition affirms what we set out to build: one identity platform where humans and AI agents are first-class citizens, side by side. AI agents have become part of the enterprise workforce, but most organizations are deploying them without the identity and governance controls we would require for any human employee. Agents should be held to the same standard, with a person accountable for every agent and in the loop when it matters most. Agentic innovation cannot come at the expense of accountability.”

“NewCore eliminates the single point of compromise that has defined the last few years of identity breaches. Identity has become the breach itself, not merely the entry point, making it the primary attack surface in the modern enterprise. Traditional identity platforms were built to provision access, not to secure it. NewCore is the rare identity vendor addressing that weakness architecturally rather than bolting on another layer of controls. Split-key architecture and phishing-resistant MFA at the platform level are transforming identity risk. Just as importantly, NewCore extends that security and governance model to AI agents, giving organizations the controls to manage agent identities, permissions and accountability as autonomous systems take on a larger role in the enterprise.”

Last month, NewCore also strengthened its identity leadership by appointing Joy Chik, former President of Identity and Network Access at Microsoft, to its Board of Directors, bringing decades of experience shaping some of the world's most widely used identity platforms.
