Cyera has announced a significant new funding round of $400m as demand for AI governance and protection continues to grow across global organisations.
The round was led by funds managed by Blackstone, with participation from existing investors including Accel, Coatue, Cyberstarts, Georgian, Greenoaks, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint, Sapphire, Sequoia Capital, and Spark.
The latest investment brings Cyera’s total funding to more than $1.7bn and values the business at $9bn, tripling its valuation compared with a year ago. The raise comes just six months after its previous funding round.
Founded to address the growing risks associated with enterprise data and AI usage, Cyera provides an AI-native security platform that gives organisations unified visibility and control over their data. The company was the first to converge Data Security Posture Management, Data Loss Prevention, and identity into a single platform, allowing enterprises to detect risks, manage governance, and protect sensitive data across complex digital environments.
The new capital will be used to support continued product innovation, global expansion, ecosystem partnerships, and the recruitment of key talent. Cyera said the funding will also help it meet rising customer demand as enterprises adopt agentic AI systems at speed, often before governance and safeguards are fully in place.
Industry research suggests this challenge is becoming increasingly urgent. According to IDC’s FutureScape: Worldwide Agentic Artificial Intelligence 2026 Predictions, early generative AI deployments often prioritised speed over safeguards, with governance gaps expected to negatively impact up to 20% of G1000 organisations by 2030. Cyera positions its platform as a way for enterprises to govern autonomous systems without limiting innovation.
The company has reported more than 3.4x revenue growth and says it now secures data and AI for 20% of the Fortune 500, spanning sectors such as financial services, retail, healthcare, media, technology, and global telecoms. Over the past year, Cyera has tripled its workforce to more than 1,100 employees, expanded into 15 countries across North America, EMEA, and APAC, and launched strategic partnerships with Microsoft Purview, AWS, and Cohesity. It has also introduced AI Guardian, extending its platform to address AI-driven business risks more comprehensively.
Cyera co-founder and CEO Yotam Segev said, “AI is reshaping the foundations of how every organization operates, and our mission is to ensure that this transformation happens securely. Enterprises want to move quickly, but they also recognize that AI without data security and governance is a risk they cannot afford. This funding strengthens our ability to protect the world’s most sensitive information and help organizations unlock the full potential of AI with confidence. Securing AI isn’t just a technology challenge, it’s the new cornerstone of enterprise trust, and Cyera is committed to leading that shift.”
Blackstone senior managing director Vishal Amin and senior managing director and head of the Israel office Yifat Oron said, “Major platform shifts create rare opportunities for category-defining companies, and Cyera is at the center of one of those moments. Cyera’s AI-native platform gives enterprises unified visibility and control of their data, helping eliminate blind spots and accelerate secure AI adoption. Its rapid enterprise traction underscores how mission-critical Cyera has become in modern data security, and we’re excited to support its continued growth and innovation as the need for AI security only expands.”
Additional support for the company’s approach came from enterprise security leaders. Blackstone chief security officer Adam Fletcher said, “AI is fundamentally changing the enterprise risk landscape, and data has quickly become one of the fastest-growing and least understood attack surfaces. The move toward unified data security platforms reflects how enterprises are thinking about securing sensitive information as AI adoption accelerates. An AI-native approach aligns with the need for clearer visibility and stronger governance as digital systems and data usage continue to evolve.”
Chevron chief information security officer Jon Raper added, “As someone responsible for safeguarding the information security strategy and digital infrastructure of a global energy company and a critical part of U.S. infrastructure, I see firsthand how foundational data security has become. Organizations need clear visibility and strong controls to protect sensitive data across increasingly complex environments. That clarity is essential to securing people, assets, and reputation, and to maintaining the trust and resilience required to operate safely and reliably, both at home and around the world.”
