Neo Secures $100M to Protect AI Agents in Enterprises

A new Israeli cybersecurity startup called Neo has raised $100 million to secure the rise of AI agents. The company emerged from stealth with this funding, which includes a $75 million Series A and a previously undisclosed $25 million Seed round. Neo believes traditional cybersecurity tools were not built for autonomous software that can reason and make decisions within enterprise systems. The company, founded by veterans from SentinelOne, Wiz, and Palo Alto Networks, has developed a real-time control layer for AI agents and AI-enabled software. This platform inventories various AI systems, helping businesses understand their capabilities, data access, and behavior. Neo currently employs 50 people, with 40 in Israel. This development is important because AI agents are rapidly integrating into enterprise software, creating new security risks that existing tools cannot address.
