Neon Cyber

What is Neon Cyber?

Neon Cyber is an AI-native browser security platform that gives security, IT, and risk teams full visibility into how their workforce uses generative AI and SaaS applications. Neon detects shadow AI use, monitors inputs and uploads into AI tools, and enforces AI data leakage policies directly inside the browser — without requiring employees to change how they work.

What is shadow AI, and why is it a security risk?

Shadow AI refers to generative AI tools — such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity — that employees use without IT approval or oversight, often through free or personal accounts. Shadow AI is a security risk because employees frequently paste sensitive company data, customer records, or proprietary information into these tools. According to recent research, 98% of employees use unsanctioned AI applications, and 32% have entered confidential customer data into AI tools.

How does Neon Cyber detect and monitor AI usage across an enterprise?

Neon Cyber deploys a lightweight browser extension that operates natively inside Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers. It monitors all browser activity in real time — capturing which AI and SaaS applications employees access, whether they are using corporate or personal credentials, and what data is being entered, uploaded into, or downloaded from those tools. This visibility extends beyond SSO and IAM controls, surfacing applications that bypass identity providers entirely.

How is Neon Cyber different from DLP, SASE, or EDR tools?

Traditional DLP, SASE, and EDR tools operate at the network or endpoint level and cannot see inside browser sessions. They do not know which AI tool an employee is using, what data they are typing into a prompt, or whether a login form is a phishing page. Neon Cyber operates at the browser layer — where thousands of AI interactions happen everyday — filling the visibility and enforcement gap that every other security tool in your stack leaves open.

Can Neon Cyber prevent employees from leaking sensitive data into ChatGPT or other AI tools?

Yes. Neon Cyber monitors every form, prompt field, and file upload in real time and can block or alert on data transfers that violate configured policies. Security teams can define rules around specific data types, applications, or behaviors — for example, preventing the upload of documents to an unapproved AI tool — and Neon enforces those rules at the point of action, before data leaves the browser.

How does Neon Cyber protect against AI-powered phishing attacks?

Neon Cyber uses a built-in Small Language Model (SLM) to analyze the intent and context of web pages and forms in real time. This enables Neon to continuously inspect the HTML and JavaScript of any web page, including form inputs, and block never-before-seen attacks. Protections enabled on one user's device can be propagated to all deployed instances, stopping phishing campaigns across the entire workforce.

How long does it take to deploy Neon Cyber across an organization?

Neon Cyber can be deployed enterprise-wide in under 15 minutes. The browser extension is distributed via existing MDM or GPO infrastructure, or sent directly to users via email. There is no new hardware, no network reconfiguration, and no requirement to replace or modify existing browsers. Most organizations achieve full workforce coverage within 48 hours of initiating deployment.

Does Neon Cyber work with all browsers, or does it require a specific enterprise browser?

Neon Cyber works with all major browsers used in businesses, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium browsers (e.g., Perplexity's Comet, OpenAI's Atlas, etc.). Unlike isolated browser solutions that require employees to adopt an entirely new browsing environment, Neon operates as an extension inside the browsers employees already use. This eliminates the user friction and adoption risk associated with enterprise browser replacements.
