Cyera

Cyera is an agentless, AI-native data security platform that discovers and classifies sensitive data across cloud, SaaS and on-premises stores, then extends into data loss prevention, identity and AI-agent governance. It is built for CISOs and data-protection teams who need to know where regulated data lives and which people and AI agents can reach it.

Cyera is a New York-headquartered data security company, founded in 2021 by chief executive Yotam Segev and chief technology officer Tamar Bar-Ilan with R&D in Tel Aviv, whose platform started as agentless data security posture management (DSPM) and has grown into a broad data and identity security suite for the AI era. The core engine connects to cloud (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and Microsoft 365), SaaS, database and on-premises stores without installing agents, then uses AI-based classification, for which Cyera claims 95%+ precision, to discover and label sensitive data such as PII, PCI, PHI and intellectual property, map who and what can access it, and prioritise exposures for remediation. Around that engine sit Omni DLP, privacy and data-subject-request automation, Access Trail, Browser Shield, AI-SPM, AI activity tracking and AI runtime protection, and, since a Black Hat launch on 3 August 2026, Agent Guardian, which discovers AI agents across endpoints, SaaS and cloud, governs their permissions and intercepts dangerous tool calls, alongside Cyera Endpoint for local agents such as Claude Code and Cursor. Much of the breadth was acquired: Trail Security for DLP in 2024, Otterize and Shape AI in 2025, Genie Security and Ryft in 2026, and a roughly $1 billion agreement announced on 28 July 2026 to buy Oasis Security for non-human and AI-agent identity. Cyera raised $400 million at a $9 billion valuation in January 2026 and $600 million led by Evolution Equity Partners at $12 billion in June 2026, for more than $2.3 billion in total; TechCrunch reported ARR above $150 million and that the company is loss-making. It says about 20% of the Fortune 500 are customers, including Paramount, Chipotle and Valvoline, and lists AWS Marketplace packages from $50,000 a year for 25TB.

Customers

About 20% of the Fortune 500 (Jan 2026)

• ✓
  Agentless DSPM discovery

  Connects to cloud, SaaS, database and on-premises data stores without endpoint agents, producing a working data map within days.

• ✓
  AI-native classification

  Learns business context to label PII, PCI, PHI and intellectual property, with Cyera claiming 95%+ precision to cut false positives.

• ✓
  Omni DLP

  Applies the same AI classification engine to data loss prevention, aiming to reduce the alert noise that pattern-based DLP generates.

• ✓
  Agent Guardian

  Discovers AI agents across endpoints, SaaS and cloud, governs their permissions, flags policy drift and blocks dangerous tool calls or unauthorised data transfers.

• ✓
  Cyera Endpoint

  Lightweight endpoint control that gives visibility into local agents such as Claude Code and Cursor and blocks unauthorised personal AI accounts.

• ✓
  Identity and Access Trail

  Maps human and non-human identities to the data they can reach, so over-permissioned service accounts and agents can be found and revoked.

• ✓
  Privacy and DSR automation

  Automates data subject requests and privacy workflows on top of the same discovery index, so privacy teams reuse the security data map.

• •
  Audit-ready data inventory

  Building a continuously updated inventory of sensitive data across multi-cloud and SaaS estates ahead of PCI DSS or DORA compliance audits.

• •
  Lower-noise DLP

  Reducing data loss prevention false positives by replacing pattern-matching rules with context-aware AI classification of the underlying data.

• •
  Governing enterprise AI access

  Controlling what AI assistants and agents can see and do by tracking AI activity and blocking unauthorised access to sensitive data stores.

• •
  Shadow agent discovery

  Finding AI agents on developer laptops and in SaaS tools, then revoking excess permissions before they can move regulated data out.

• •
  Tool consolidation

  Consolidating DSPM, DLP and privacy tooling onto one platform to cut vendor count and duplicated classification engines across security teams.

Cyera's own pricing page publishes no list prices and quotes each deal. The AWS Marketplace lists 12-month packages at $50,000 (25TB), $100,000 (100TB) and $250,000 (250TB), metered on data volume, and a PeerSpot reviewer notes licensing combines storage and user counts, so model both before buying.
