Cyera Valued at $12 Billion in $600 Million Round
The world’s largest companies are turning to Cyera to address one of the central challenges on the road to broad enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence: the ability to understand, monitor and control the activity of AI systems. Cyera, which develops a platform for managing and securing AI use in organizations, announced today that it has completed a $600 million funding round at a valuation of $12 billion. The closing of the round reflects a fourfold increase in the company’s valuation over the past 18 months.
The round was led by Evolution Equity Partners, with participation from Cyberstarts and Temasek, alongside all existing investors, including Sequoia, Accel, AT&T Ventures, Blackstone, Coatue and Spark Capital. Following the financing, the company has raised more than $2.3 billion since its founding.
As of 2026, about 68% of organizations cannot distinguish between employee activity and the activity of AI agents within their systems. Without that ability, it is difficult to build trust in AI systems, and this challenge is delaying many organizations in carrying out their AI implementation plans.
The source of the problem is an infrastructure gap. In recent years, the AI industry has invested in chips, models and computing power, but it still lacks a layer that allows organizations to understand what data AI systems are exposed to, what actions they are taking and how the resulting risks can be managed.
Over the past year, Cyera launched more than 100 new capabilities in AI agent security, privacy, identity management, Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP). These capabilities expand the company’s platform, which is designed to enable organizations to manage the use of artificial intelligence safely and in a controlled way.
Cyera’s platform was built specifically for organizations integrating AI into their workflows. It can detect and classify exabytes of information with more than 95% accuracy, identify sensitive data exposed to risk and apply appropriate access controls, without disrupting existing workflows or infrastructure. The current funding round is intended to accelerate expansion and make the solution available to more companies around the world.
