Overview
Neo (Neo Agentic Security) builds a real-time control layer to inventory, attribute, and enforce policy on agentic AI software across the enterprise. Founded by veterans of SentinelOne, Wiz, and Palo Alto Networks, the company raised $100M combined seed and Series A led by a16z and Bessemer in July 2026.
Why Neo is interesting
Former SentinelOne/Wiz/Palo Alto veterans argue enterprise apps will go agentic — security needs native controls on what agents can call, not bolt-on EDR.
Product & use cases
Neo's platform discovers agentic AI endpoints in enterprise environments, attributes actions to authorized agents, and enforces policy on what APIs, data, and systems agents can access — addressing the security gap as apps shift from static code to autonomous agents.
- Agentic AI inventory and discovery in enterprise
- Policy enforcement on AI agent API access
- Real-time attribution of autonomous software actions

Competitive landscape
Edge: Team from SentinelOne, Wiz, and Palo Alto building security native to agentic architecture — not retrofitting EDR for AI agents.
Agentic security is emerging category. Neo bets the AV→EDR evolution repeats for agentic endpoints. Large seed+Series A ($100M) signals investor conviction; category definition still early vs. incumbents adding AI modules.

Notable stories
