Rethinking Legacy Data Infrastructure with Eon Co-Founders Ofir Ehrlich and Gonen Stein
Aug 27, 2026 · 34:51
Eon co-founders Ofir Ehrlich and Gonen Stein join Elad Gil to argue that data, not compute or models, is the enterprise's moat, and their cloud backup now serves as a data foundation for AI. They cite Google's $10 million purchase of Spirit Airlines' data as proof that real-world data is gold, and say Eon maps, classifies, and masks scattered data to feed LLMs without breaking security or compliance. They warn that AI agents with legitimate permissions are creating ransomware-scale threats at extreme velocity, so companies must assume breach from non-human actors. They contrast the slow cloud era with today's faster, fear-driven AI adoption, where forward-deployed engineers and PLG reshape how legacy enterprises buy software. They say agents multiply actors, making dashboards essential.
