SAN FRANCISCO MARCH 23, 2026 – Neon Cyber, the AI-native browser security platform built to protect the workforce's use of generative AI and SaaS without disrupting how work gets done, today announced it has been named a winner in the Transformational Browser Security category by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry's leading electronic information security publication.
“We’re thrilled to receive one of the most prestigious and coveted cybersecurity awards in the world from Cyber Defense Magazine, during their 14th anniversary as one of the world’s leading independent cybersecurity news and information provider. We knew the competition would be tough and with top judges who are leading infosec experts from around the globe, we couldn’t be more pleased,” said Cody Pierce, CEO and Co-Founder of Neon Cyber.
An estimated 98% of employees use unsanctioned AI and SaaS applications, yet most security tools have no visibility into what's being accessed — or what data is being shared. Legacy solutions — DLP, EDR, email gateways — only see fragments of workforce activity, missing what happens inside the browser where work actually occurs. Neon closes that gap by delivering deep, real-time visibility into workforce AI and SaaS activity, and enforcing context-aware guardrails at the point of risk — without slowing innovation or forcing users into restrictive environments.
“Neon Cyber embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
