Neo Security announced October 29 a tamper-protection capability designed to preserve the security hooks it installs in AI tools.

The company says the first protection covers its hooks in Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor and Copilot. Hooks connect activity in those tools with security policies set by an organization.

According to Neo, its device sensor restores hooks that a user or agent deletes or changes. The feature runs through the existing sensor, without another deployment for customers.

The announcement distinguishes Neo-installed hooks from hooks written by customers or provided by other security companies, which it says the feature leaves untouched.

Neo framed the capability around a problem created by agents’ access to local files and configuration: the same software carrying out a task can also change settings used to govern its actions.

The release describes the vendor’s design and intended scope. It does not establish independent testing against every way a control might be bypassed or guarantee that an organization’s broader AI environment is secure.
