NewCore vs Silverfort
| Criterion | NewCore | Silverfort | NewCore reason | Silverfort reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 Identity-bound per-call authorization (25) | 10 | 9 | Every tool call passes through the gateway, which identifies the agent and the person behind it and checks the action against policy, keeping agents within that person's permissions. [nc-secure] | Every tool call hits the gateway first, and sessions are correlated to a person through your identity provider. [sf-ai][sf-launch] |
| G2 Credential brokering (20) | 10 | 5 | 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 credential brokering is not described. [sf-ai] |
| G3 Human approval and escalation (15) | 10 | 9 | Policies return allow, ask or deny; risky calls go to a named approver who confirms with device biometrics, and an agent can never approve its own action. [nc-govern] | The verdict on a call can be approve, block or step up to a human. [sf-ai] |
| G4 Server registry and discovery (10) | 8 | 7 | A connection registry records each MCP server's endpoint, owner and environment, and agents are found through read-only integrations without relying on registration. [nc-secure][nc-discover] | It discovers sanctioned and rogue agents across identity providers, clouds and SaaS. [sf-ai][sf-launch] |
| G5 Audit evidence (10) | 9 | 9 | Tool calls, sessions and approvals sit in one audit trail with each call logged against its owner; a SIEM export was not named on the pages read. [nc-govern] | An immutable audit trail ties each call to the initiating person. [sf-ai] |
| G6 Standards (10) | 5 | 5 | MCP, SAML and OIDC are named; OAuth 2.1 and Enterprise-Managed Authorization are not named on the pages read. [nc-foundation] | MCP and OIDC are named; other MCP authorization standards were not found. [sf-ai] |
| G7 Deployment and buying clarity (10) | 4 | 5 | Delivered as SaaS with no list price; an AWS Marketplace listing exists and no free tier or self-host option was found. [nc-aws] | A SaaS gateway reached by redirect, with quote-based packages and no published price. [sf-ai][sf-pricing] |
| Total | 8.60 | 7.20 | Weighted sum divided by 100. | |
