Neo brings security visibility inside Claude Cowork. AI security leader extends into Cowork virtual machines, delivering complete runtime visibility and security intelligence for all Cowork activity. BOSTON, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Neo, the AI security control platform, today announced a new integration for Claude Cowork that extends Neo into the isolated virtual machines where Cowork runs. Neo identifies the semantic intent behind every Cowork action wherever it occurs and provides runtime visibility with agentic security intelligence, delivering a complete understanding of exactly what each agent is doing, what it is interacting with, and what risk that represents for the environment. Claude Cowork is popular for taking multi-step instructions and returning finished work. To keep this work isolated, Cowork runs its most sensitive actions inside VMs. Most security tools can see the VM but not what happens inside it: which file the agent opens, what processes it starts, or which hosts it contacts. As adoption grows, more agentic activity happens in a black box that security teams cannot monitor at runtime or investigate after the fact. "Security teams can't govern AI they can't see," said Shlomi Salem, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Neo. "Growing Cowork adoption shouldn't mean more visibility gaps. Isolation is good design for sensitive work, but security teams still need to know what an agent is doing, wherever it runs. The Neo sensor monitors activity inside the Cowork VM and understands the risks of the other AI components around it, delivering teams the context they need to make decisions." Existing security tools offer only a partial view of Cowork actions. Traditional EDR tools with access to the VM can monitor activity for signs of attack, but lack the necessary AI security intelligence to understand what risk each Cowork agent represents to each environment. Seeing what an agent is doing in a VM without knowing who it is doing it for or understanding the other agentic components it is interacting with delivers an incomplete view of agentic risk. Neo combines real-time visibility into Cowork VMs with Neoverse, its software intelligence engine and broader endpoint telemetry, so customers can understand the agents they run and the risk they carry. Every Cowork action is mapped back to the device, user, and session from which it originated, giving security teams the trails they need to conduct investigations. The result is a current view of which agents are running, what they interact with and what that means for the enterprise, so teams can investigate faster. Neo for Claude Cowork will be available for all Neo customers. For more information on Neo and Cowork, read our blog and register for the November 30th webinar here.

Neo, an agentic software control company, has launched Tamper Protection for AI Agents. The feature keeps its security policies in force when a user or an AI agent tries to disable, remove, or bypass them. The first protection stops anyone from deleting or altering the hooks Neo installs in Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot. Hooks let security tools see what an agent is about to do and decide whether it happens. Hooks installed only through setup scripts or periodic mobile device management updates can stay disabled until the next update. Neo's sensor stays on the device, recording a fingerprint of each hook and blocking any change. It covers only Neo's own hooks and runs in the existing sensor, so customers deploy nothing new. "A security policy can't be optional for the person or agent it governs," said chief executive officer Nick Warner.

Neo named to 2027 Fortune Cyber 60 for innovation in AI security. Company recognized for helping enterprises prevent AI threats across devices, browsers, identities and applications. BOSTON, Oct. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Neo, the Agentic Software Control company, today announced it has been named to the 2027 Fortune Cyber 60. Presented by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in partnership with Fortune, the list recognizes the most important venture-backed cybersecurity companies driving innovation within the industry. Cyber 60 honorees are selected following extensive proprietary research, industry validation and market analysis by Lightspeed and Fortune. Hundreds of companies were evaluated based on annual recurring revenue, current and prior-year growth and business operations. "Fortune and Lightspeed have a proven track record of identifying the companies combating the most critical cybersecurity issues in the Fortune Cyber 60," said Nick Warner, CEO and Co-founder of Neo. "AI agents reason, invoke skills, and act with real user permissions, breaking the assumption that software behaves predictably. Neo understands the semantic intent behind every agent action and gives security teams runtime control wherever agents operate: devices, browsers, identities, and apps." A recent Lightspeed Cyber60 Survey of hundreds of CISOs finds that enterprise AI adoption is advancing faster than the controls needed to secure it. This industry trend is shaping market direction - agent identity, authorization, and access governance is the leading category CISOs plan to evaluate over the next year. While AI agents are in production at 77% of surveyed companies, only 20% report having a complete agent inventory and confidence in their teams' ability to assess and mitigate AI-specific risks has fallen from 71% last year to just 55% in 2026. Neo exists to confront these issues. The absence of agentic oversight and lack of confidence regarding agentic security is a direct result of high-speed, haphazard AI adoption. Software vendors are shipping new agentic capabilities for widely used tools, while users install new agentic applications without security reviews. To manage this mutating threat surface, SecOps teams need a living inventory of the AI agents and applications they use, real-time visibility into human and non-human activity and an understanding of what those tools can do, a verdict on whether or not they are a fit for their environment, and the ability to enforce policies based upon that verdict. With Neo, security teams can discover and inventory the suite of tools running across the enterprise even as they add new agentic functions, understand their changing capabilities and risks, assess whether they are configured safely, and enforce policy before risky activity occurs wherever it occurs. Real-time visibility into both human and non-human activity, attribution that maps actions back to the responsible user or agent, and granular policy enforcement across devices, browsers, identities, and traditional applications deliver the agentic control organizations need to effectively manage agentic transformation at scale.
