What Neo does

Neo Security, Inc. (dba Neo) is an enterprise cybersecurity company founded in 2026 by three former SentinelOne executives — CEO Nick Warner (former President and COO who took SentinelOne public in 2021), CPO Shlomi Salem (former VP of Research at SentinelOne), and CTO Eran Shirazi (former co-founder and CTO of EasySend with IDF Unit 8200 vulnerability research experience). The company launched from stealth on July 20, 2026 with a $100M seed round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Craft Ventures and Merlin Ventures. Neo targets large enterprise SecOps teams, CISOs, and federal government agencies that face a security gap created by the rapid enterprise adoption of agentic software — AI agents, MCP servers, plugins, and extensions — that operate inside trusted applications beyond the visibility of traditional EDR, SASE, and identity tools.

The company's core product is the Agentic Software Control platform, which combines a 25MB endpoint sensor (deploying without kernel module, OS hooks, or reboot) with the Neoverse knowledge base — an autonomous, AI-driven catalog of over 1.2 million software artifacts continuously mapped across capabilities, risks, behaviors, and CVE exposure. The platform delivers software inventory, configuration and posture assessment, real-time attribution tying actions to human or non-human actors, and native endpoint enforcement (allow, block, hold, or redirect) governed by policies authored in natural language through a built-in LLM. It targets macOS Monterey 12+ and Windows 10 1607+ endpoints, with integrations including Salesforce, Slack, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GitHub MCP. Reported operational benchmarks include sub-15-minute time to full inventory, sub-1-hour full deployment with IdP and SOC integration, and 12 ms policy decisions. The company holds SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA certifications.

Neo operates on a quote-based annual SaaS subscription model, sold exclusively through direct enterprise field sales with Sales Engineers covering 7 US metros (Boston HQ, NYC, SF, Chicago, Denver, DC Metro for federal, and TOLA) and an R&D center in Tel Aviv. The company is actively hiring across 36 open roles spanning detection engineering, field sales, marketing, and operations, and maintains presence at Black Hat USA, RSA Conference, and Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit as part of its event-driven GTM motion.

Core offering

Neo provides an enterprise Agentic Software Control platform that uses a lightweight endpoint sensor to discover, attribute, and enforce policy on agentic applications (AI agents, MCP servers, plugins, extensions) running on enterprise endpoints in real-time. The platform combines the Neoverse autonomous software knowledge base (covering 1.2M+ software artifacts) with a built-in LLM policy engine to enable SecOps teams to inventory agentic software, assess configuration and risk posture, attribute actions to human or non-human actors, and enforce granular Allow/Block/Hold policies at the application runtime without relying on traditional endpoint security tools.

Product overview

Neo offers a unified Agentic Software Control platform consisting of the Neoverse knowledge base (an autonomous software intelligence system cataloging 1.2M+ artifacts), the core Neo platform (providing discovery, assessment, attribution, and enforcement capabilities), and the Endpoint Sensor (a lightweight 25MB agent deployed without reboot). The platform enables SecOps teams to discover agentic software, assess its configuration and risk posture, attribute actions to human or non-human actors, and enforce granular policies in real-time. The Policy Engine and Neoverse Knowledge Base are included components that power the platform's control capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: Default endpoint protection inside the Microsoft security stack, broadly deployed across enterprises. Could absorb agentic-application controls as a feature rather than a separate purchase.
• CrowdStrike: Market-leading endpoint security (Falcon) platform with deep enterprise penetration and the ability to ship agent-aware visibility as a feature. Closest broad incumbent competing for the same SecOps budget allocation.
• Zscaler: Broad incumbent in zero-trust networking and SASE; sits in the same security stack Neo replaces portions of for the agentic-application layer, and could bundle agent-aware controls into its Zero Trust Exchange.
• Palo Alto Networks (Cortex XDR): Broad incumbent offering endpoint detection and response through Cortex XDR with cross-domain telemetry from next-generation firewall and Prisma Cloud. Comparable as a potential incumbent that could add agentic-software controls to an existing portfolio.

Direct peers

• SentinelOne: Largest direct comparable: an endpoint security platform built by the same three founders (Nick Warner as former President/COO, Shlomi Salem as former VP of Research). Operates in the same endpoint telemetry and policy-enforcement category that Neo is extending to agentic software.
• HiddenLayer: Direct peer providing AI security solutions for model and application layers, including threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and runtime protection for AI/ML systems.
• Protect AI: Direct peer focused on AI/ML and LLM application security, including model scanning, supply-chain risks, and runtime threats for AI systems. Closely comparable to Neo's positioning around governing AI agents and AI-enabled applications.
• Lakera: Direct peer in AI application security, providing Guardrails and runtime protection for LLM-powered applications against prompt injection and unsafe agent behavior. Comparable on runtime policy enforcement for agentic systems.
• Noma Security: Emerging direct peer offering an AI security platform purpose-built for securing AI agents, LLM applications, and MCP-style integrations — addressing the same agentic-governance gap that Neo targets.

Emerging players

• Prompt Security: Emerging player offering security controls specifically for generative AI and LLM usage across enterprise applications, including visibility, data-loss prevention, and policy enforcement for AI agents.
