Compare KYDE vs. NewCore

KYDE serves as a behavioral firewall designed specifically for AI agents, ensuring they can be entrusted with significant responsibilities. By delineating prohibited actions, documenting completed tasks, and safeguarding your proprietary knowledge, KYDE enhances the reliability of AI agents. Positioned externally, KYDE operates in the request pathway between your agents and all LLM providers, systematically intercepting, scoping, and signing each action prior to execution. This external placement ensures it cannot be overridden by the agent itself, maintaining strict control. With no need for code alterations and only one environment variable required, KYDE is both provider-agnostic and ready for multi-cloud platforms, targeting a latency of under 100 milliseconds. It encompasses three essential functions within a single layer. The first is PROVE, which creates an audit trail that remains independent of any LLM provider; actions are signed using Ed25519, hash-linked, and recorded at the boundary, making them irretrievable by the agent. In this scenario, the perpetrator cannot fabricate their own account. The second function is RATE, which evaluates agent behavior across different providers on a unified scale known as the KYDE Trust Score™. While vendors assess their own performance, KYDE focuses on objectively grading agent behavior, creating a more transparent evaluation system. Finally, this comprehensive framework not only enhances accountability but also fosters an environment of trust in AI interactions.

NewCore serves as a cutting-edge identity provider designed for both humans and AI agents, centered around a unified identity core that ensures every identity is visible, secure, and monitored from the point of access through to auditing. It recognizes employees, contractors, partners, machines, delegated agents, and autonomous workloads as primary identities within a singular framework. The Identity Security component fortifies trust associated with access using features such as single sign-on, passkeys, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, secure token signing, strength scoring for authenticators, and policies that are aware of security measures. Utilizing a Secure Split Key mechanism, it divides the signing authority between NewCore’s cloud infrastructure and the customer's own environment, ensuring that neither entity can independently sign a valid token. Furthermore, the Identity Discovery feature creates a comprehensive live graph that encompasses humans, agents, accounts, applications, authenticators, sessions, and access pathways, thereby illuminating shadow accounts, orphaned credentials, and unmanaged agents, which can pose security risks. This holistic approach to identity management not only enhances security but also streamlines the process of tracking and managing diverse identities within an organization.
