Israeli cybersecurity startup NewCore today emerged from stealth mode with $66 million in seed funding from Cyberstarts, Index Ventures, and Evolution Equity Partners.

Founded by cybersecurity veterans and Israeli intelligence alumni Zohar Alon (CEO), Amihai Neiderman (CTO), and Erez Yarkoni (CRO), Tel Aviv-based NewCore has built a security-first identity platform for the agentic enterprise era.

The solution aims to secure human, machine, and agentic identities across an organization’s environments, using an architecture purpose-built to reduce risks, manage access, and eliminate exposures.

According to NewCore, its platform relies on Secure Split Key (SSK) to eliminate an entire class of attacks plaguing SAML signing infrastructure, including adversary-in-the-middle session theft, Golden SAML, and token replay.

NewCore’s platform was developed with agentic governance as a core design constraint and features an integration package that supports leading agents, including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
