Cyera, the enterprise AI trust platform, announced a $600 million funding round that raises its valuation to $12 billion, quadrupling its worth over the past 18 months. The company’s platform helps organizations understand, control, and govern AI activity, addressing a critical infrastructure gap that has hindered trusted AI adoption for many enterprises.
In 2026, 68% of organizations cannot distinguish between human and AI agent activity within their systems. Without this visibility, trust is limited, stalling AI transformation. While the AI industry has advanced chips, models, and compute, enterprises still lack the layer that governs what AI can see, do, and how risks are mitigated.
Cyera has shipped more than 100 new product capabilities over the past year across Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), privacy, identity, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and agentic security. These features together form a comprehensive trust layer for enterprise AI.
“This funding allows us to accelerate building the infrastructure layer the industry has been missing,” said Yotam Segev, co-founder and CEO of Cyera. “Our customers are some of the most sophisticated companies in the world. Trust is what makes AI transformation possible—knowing what your AI can see and do. Cyera is that trust layer, and this funding fuels our ability to deliver it faster to every enterprise in the agentic era.”
The round was led by Evolution Equity Partners, with participation from Cyberstarts and Temasek, alongside existing investors including Accel, AT&T Ventures, Blackstone, Coatue, and Spark Capital. Total funding now exceeds $2 billion, positioning Cyera as one of the most valuable privately held security companies worldwide.
AT&T CISO Rich Baich highlighted the platform’s impact: “In a world where data is the fuel for innovation, Cyera provides 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.”
Cyera has experienced rapid growth, tripling annual recurring revenue three years in a row. The company now employs more than 1,500 people across 18 countries and has completed five acquisitions, most recently Ryft and Genie, adding specialized technology to expand its enterprise-scale AI governance capabilities.
“Over 25 years of cybersecurity investing, we’ve seen that companies defining infrastructure solve problems competitors cannot,” said Richard Seewald, founder and managing partner at Evolution Equity Partners. “Cyera has built the layer that informs enterprises what their AI can see, learn from, and act on, at scale with precision. We are thrilled to back them on this journey.”
Cyberstarts General Partner Lior Simon added, “Every enterprise deploying AI at scale runs into the same wall—they can’t trust what their AI can see and do. Cyera is the only company built to solve that with the depth and scale required. This funding helps get there faster.”
Cyera’s AI-native platform discovers and classifies exabytes of data with over 95% precision, identifying sensitive records and enforcing access controls without disrupting existing pipelines. It unifies DSPM, DLP, identity, and behavioral governance into a single platform, giving enterprises comprehensive control over AI activity. The combination of more than 100 product capabilities and five acquisitions creates a depth of coverage that is difficult to replicate, compressing the time required to implement a trust layer across Fortune 1000 organizations.
