Neo emerged from stealth in July with $100 million in funding to help enterprises identify agentic capabilities within their IT environments, understand associated risks, attribute its actions and enforce policy in real time. The Neo platform addresses AI agents, AI-enabled applications, browsers, plugins and traditional software as those tools gain the ability to act on behalf of users.

“Agentic software is changing how work gets done, and security teams need a way to govern it as adoption grows,” said Stout. “Neo has built a platform for that challenge. I’m excited to work with Nick and the team to grow our customer relationships and partner network, helping enterprises put the controls in place to adopt agentic software securely.”
