Rethinking Legacy Data Infrastructure with Eon Co-Founders Ofir Ehrlich and Gonen Stein

Gonen Stein, Ofir Ehrlich

Eon co-founders Ofir Ehrlich and Gonen Stein join Elad Gil to discuss the shifting value of enterprise data in the AI era. They argue that while compute and models get attention, proprietary data is a company's real protective moat. The conversation covers how Eon transforms cloud backup into an AI-ready data foundation by mapping, classifying, and providing access controls to scattered enterprise data. They explore the emerging security threat of rogue AI agents with legitimate credentials, and contrast the breakneck speed of AI adoption with the slower pace of the cloud transition.
