Israeli cybersecurity company Cyera, based in Tel Aviv's Landmark Tower, is reportedly in talks to raise new capital at a valuation of $20 billion. This potential funding round comes just four months after the company, considered one of Israel's most promising unicorns, secured $600 million in June at a $12 billion valuation, which was later expanded by an additional $400 million. Cyera was founded by Yotam Segev and Tamar Bar-Ilan, alumni of the elite Unit 8200, to protect organizational data across all servers and assets. The company has recently enhanced its capabilities to defend against AI-driven cyberattacks.
Following its summer funding, Cyera acquired Israeli firm Oasis Security for approximately $1 billion in cash and stock. This acquisition aimed to bolster Cyera's capabilities in identifying non-human identities and AI agents, a move prompted by the increasing use of AI agents in organizations and a rise in sophisticated attacks employing complex language models. The article notes that October alone saw several AI-based attacks exploiting a PHP code vulnerability, a vulnerability itself discovered using advanced models from Anthropic and OpenAI.
