About
Neo is a Boston-headquartered agentic software control platform that helps enterprise security teams manage and secure AI agents, AI-enabled applications, and traditional software across their environments 123. The platform provides an inventory of AI-enabled assets, identifies excessive access privileges and misconfigurations, delivers real-time attribution of actions to users, agents, and applications, and enforces granular policies on tool calls, data movement, agentic workflows, and API access 12.
