Rethinking Legacy Data Infrastructure with Eon Co-Founders Ofir Ehrlich and Gonen Stein
AI agents with legitimate permissions create a new high-velocity enterprise security threat category
“the same type of threat is coming from non-human actors, agents that essentially have legitimate access to the environment with legitimate permissions”
Eon co-founders argue that AI agents operating with legitimate credentials inside enterprises represent a qualitatively new security and compliance risk, distinct from traditional human-actor threats primarily due to velocity. Non-technical employees building agents may unknowingly create data exposure without understanding the compliance implications. Eon is positioning its cloud data foundation—offering classification, ingestion, and protection across hyperscalers—as infrastructure purpose-built for this AI-era threat landscape.
