Identity has become the control plane of the modern enterprise — and, as attackers have figured out, its weakest link. Zohar Alon, Co-Founder and CEO of NewCore, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to introduce his new company, fresh out of stealth with roughly $66 million in funding from Cyberstarts, Index Ventures and Evolution Equity Partners. Zohar, who previously built and sold Dome9 to Check Point, argues that legacy identity platforms were designed for a world of humans and a handful of machines — not for the agentic era, where AI agents may soon outnumber human employees 100 to 1 and operate at machine speed. He walks through why centralized IDPs have become high-value targets, why passwords, SMS and six-digit codes must die, and how NewCore has rebuilt the identity provider from scratch to distribute trust between the vendor and the customer. He also explains how agentic technology powers side-by-side migrations from incumbent identity platforms in hours rather than years.
