Agentic software control startup Neo Security Inc. said it’s exiting a years-long spell in stealth mode after raising $100 million in funding to build a secure control layer for enterprise AI agents.
Neo Security Inc., the startup focused on securing agentic software, announced a $100 million Series B round to develop a control layer that safeguards enterprise AI agents.
Funding round details
The financing was led by prominent venture firms, with participation from existing backers who see a growing need for robust governance of AI-driven processes in corporate environments.
Neo Security plans to allocate the capital toward expanding its engineering team, accelerating product development, and forging partnerships with large enterprises that are deploying autonomous AI agents across various functions.
Why a secure control layer matters
Enterprises are increasingly relying on AI agents to automate tasks such as data analysis, customer support, and supply‑chain optimization. Without proper oversight, these agents can act unpredictably, expose sensitive data, or be manipulated by malicious actors.
Neo Security’s platform aims to provide real‑time monitoring, policy enforcement, and audit trails, ensuring that AI agents operate within predefined safety and compliance boundaries.
Product roadmap
The company outlined a phased rollout: an initial beta for select partners, followed by a broader SaaS offering that integrates with existing AI infrastructure and cloud providers.
- Policy definition engine for custom governance rules
- Live anomaly detection and response
- Comprehensive compliance reporting
By embedding these controls directly into the AI agent lifecycle, Neo Security hopes to reduce the risk of unintended outcomes while preserving the agility that autonomous agents provide.
The startup emerged from stealth after more than a year of development, positioning itself at the intersection of AI innovation and cybersecurity—a space that analysts predict will see heightened investment as AI adoption accelerates.
