Cyera, an AI-native data security company building what it describes as an enterprise trust layer for the agentic era, has secured $600m in its latest funding round, pushing its valuation to $12bn, a fourfold increase over the past 18 months.
The round was led by Evolution Equity Partners, with Cyberstarts and Temasek joining alongside all existing backers, including Accel, AT&T Ventures, Blackstone, Coatue, and Spark Capital, among others. The raise takes Cyera’s total funding beyond $2bn and cements its position among the most highly valued privately held security companies globally.
The capital injection arrives against a backdrop that Cyera says is forcing enterprises to confront a structural problem: as of 2026, 68% of organisations are unable to distinguish between human and AI agent activity within their own systems. Without that visibility, the company argues, widespread AI transformation stalls. Cyera’s platform is positioned to close that gap, providing what it calls the missing infrastructure layer that governs what AI can access and what it can do. Over the past year, the company has shipped more than 100 new product capabilities spanning Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), privacy, identity, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and agentic security.
Cyera’s AI-native platform can discover and classify exabytes of data with precision exceeding 95%, identifying sensitive records at risk and enforcing access controls without disrupting existing workflows or pipelines. The platform represents the industry’s only unified convergence of DSPM, DLP, identity, and behavioural security, giving enterprises a single point of control over everything their AI can see and act upon. The company says this depth of coverage, built through more than 100 product capabilities and five acquisitions, takes years to replicate. The two most recent acquisitions, Ryft and Genie, added specialised technology aimed at governing AI at enterprise scale.
Founded to address the data security challenges created by enterprise AI adoption, Cyera has grown to more than 1,500 employees across 18 countries over the last 18 months. The company has tripled its annual recurring revenue (ARR) three years running, a trajectory that reflects the urgency it sees across its customer base. Cyera says the latest funding will accelerate its ability to bring this trust layer to every Fortune 1000 company that requires it.
Cyera co-founder and CEO Yotam Segev said, “Our customers are some of the most sophisticated companies in the world. The one thing they all share is the urgency to lead AI transformation at a scale and speed the world has never seen. Trust is what makes that possible – knowing what your AI can see and do. That’s the infrastructure layer the industry has been missing, and it’s what we’ve been building alongside our customers since day one. Cyera is that trust layer, and this funding is fuel to build it faster for every company trying to win in today’s agentic era.”
AT&T CISO Rich Baich said, “In a world where data is the fuel for innovation, Cyera helps provide us with visibility and context to enable secure AI at scale. It helps us accelerate AI adoption by knowing and controlling what AI can see and do.”
