NewCore vs Silverfort
| Criterion | NewCore | Silverfort | Diff | NewCore reason | Silverfort reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 8.70 | 7.55 | +1.15 | Position 1 | Position 3= |
| Agent identity and ownership (20) | 10 | 9 | +1 | Every agent is linked to an accountable owner in an identity graph that resolves a person's accounts across identity providers, directories and HR systems. nc-discover | It binds each agent to a human owner. sf-ai |
| Credential model (20) | 9 | 6 | +3 | Access is short-lived and task-scoped, and the agent never holds the tool's own credential. nc-secure | It removes standing privileges for agents using static API keys, but short-lived token issuance is not described. sf-ai |
| Delegation and on-behalf-of (15) | 9 | 7 | +2 | The gateway shows the agent acting on behalf of a person and keeps it within that person's permissions. nc-secure | The gateway enforces SSO through your identity provider and correlates each agent session to a person. sf-ai |
| Runtime authorization and human approval (20) | 10 | 9 | +1 | Every tool call is checked by one policy engine that allows, asks or denies, and an agent can never approve its own action. nc-secure, nc-govern | Every tool call hits the MCP Gateway first, with a verdict to approve, block or step up to a human. sf-ai, sf-launch |
| Discovery of unregistered agents (10) | 8 | 9 | -1 | Read-only integrations find agents without registration and trace access paths outside SSO. nc-discover | It discovers sanctioned and rogue agents across identity providers, clouds and SaaS. sf-ai |
| Standards (10) | 5 | 5 | 0 | Public material names SAML, OIDC and an MCP server registry, but not OAuth 2.1, SPIFFE or Cross App Access. nc-foundation, nc-secure | Public material names MCP and OpenID Connect. sf-ai |
| Buying clarity (5) | 5 | 6 | -1 | There is no list price, though an AWS Marketplace listing with custom units gives a procurement path. nc-aws | There is no public price, and packages are quote-based. sf-pricing |
