NewCore, the agentic identity company, announced on 29 October 2026 that it has been recognised in the Enterprise Security Tech Cyber Top Innovations Awards for its approach to securing and governing an increasingly agentic workforce. The award highlights NewCore Agent Guardian, which brings governance and accountability to AI agents.

Key facts * Enterprise Security Tech recognises NewCore's unified identity platform for human and AI agent access, which gives every agent its own identity, a human owner, and governance enforced at runtime ^[1]. * NewCore treats every agent as a first-class identity, right alongside humans, governed through one identity core ^[1]. * NewCore Agent Guardian enforces policy-based guardrails, eliminates standing secrets, and scopes every permission to a specific task ^[1]. * Audit trails connect every agent action to its responsible owner, the policy applied, and the approval decision ^[1].

How does NewCore Agent Guardian work? NewCore Agent Guardian governs AI agents with the same accountability and security controls that enterprises already apply to their people. The system treats every agent as a first-class identity, ensuring that AI agents are governed through a single identity core alongside human users.

NewCore enforces policy-based guardrails and eliminates standing secrets by scoping every permission to a specific task. For the most sensitive actions, the platform puts human review and approval in the palm of the user's hand. When an agent attempts a sensitive operation, its owner receives an approval request on their mobile device and confirms or denies it with biometric verification.

Why does this matter for enterprise security? AI agents are multiplying faster than most enterprises can govern them, and every agent needs the same accountability expected from people. NewCore provides immutable accountability by creating audit trails that connect every agent action to its responsible owner, the policy applied, and the approval decision. This establishes exactly who authorized what, when, and why.

What can businesses do with this technology? Businesses can use NewCore to ensure that human judgment remains on sensitive actions while policy handles the rest. The platform allows security teams to manage an agentic workforce without having to review every single action an agent performs.
