Neo co-founder says old enterprise security tools break down in the agentic era
AccBalanced · x · 2026-07-21
Neo co-founder Nick Warner argues that enterprise security tools built over the last 20 years are failing in the agentic era. - Legacy security stacks were designed for a world where humans behaved like humans and software was deterministic. - Agentic software breaks that assumption: systems can now reason, take actions, and behave differently at runtime. - The new security problem is less about static permissions and more about understanding what is installed, how it is configured, and what it is actually doing live. - Neo’s pitch is an infrastructure layer that sits alongside agentic applications and inspects them from inside the app layer.
