Neon Cyber

Neon Cyber is a cybersecurity platform company focused on browser-based security, addressing risks that occur within the browser session — the environment where employees interact with SaaS applications, enter credentials, upload files, and engage with AI tools. The company was founded by Cody Pierce and Mark St. John, two self-taught practitioners who previously founded AlphaWave, a company focused on External Attack Surface Management that was acquired twice. After observing persistent blind spots in enterprise security stacks, they identified the browser as an underprotected control point and built Neon to address it. Neon's platform is designed to operate at the point of risk — inside the browser session, in real time — rather than at the network or endpoint layer. The platform targets several threat vectors including: - Phishing attack completion within the browser - Sensitive data leakage through browser activity - Shadow AI usage and related data exposure - Credential entry and file upload risks in SaaS environments The company's approach centers on real-time behavioral guidance for users rather than reactive security controls. Protection is designed to travel with the user and intervene at the moment of action, without requiring employees to have security expertise or modifying existing infrastructure significantly. Neon Cyber targets enterprise organizations and positions the browser as the modern security control point, arguing that legacy security stacks built for servers, networks, and endpoints are not suited for browser-centric work environments — particularly as AI tools reshape how employees operate day to day.
