en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cyera announced on June 10, 2026, the completion of a new $600 million funding round, bringing its valuation to $12 billion, quadrupling in the past 18 months. The data security company stated that currently, 68% of organizations cannot distinguish between human activity and AI agent activity within their systems, and this lack of trust has stalled AI transformation for many enterprises. Cyera co-founder and CEO Yotam Segev said the industry needs an infrastructure layer that can govern what AI can see and do, and Cyera has been building precisely this trust layer together with its customers since its inception.

This funding round was led by Evolution Equity Partners, with participation from Cyberstarts and Temasek, and follow-on investments from existing investors including Accel, AT&T Ventures, Blackstone, Coatue, Spark Capital, and others. Cyera has now become one of the highest-valued private security companies globally, with total funding exceeding $2 billion.

Over the past year, Cyera has delivered more than 100 new product capabilities, covering areas such as Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), privacy, identity, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and agent security. The company has tripled its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for three consecutive years, grown its workforce to over 1,500 employees across 18 countries, and completed five acquisitions, most recently acquiring Ryft and Genie to enhance the platform's ability to govern AI at enterprise scale.

AT&T Chief Information Security Officer Rich Baich stated that the data visibility and context provided by Cyera help enterprises achieve secure AI at scale, accelerating AI adoption by understanding and controlling what AI can see and do. Evolution Equity Partners founder and managing partner Richard Seewald noted that Cyera has built a layer that can precisely inform enterprises what their AI can see, learn, and act upon, and the depth of this infrastructure makes it difficult for competitors to replicate.

Cyera's AI-native platform discovers and classifies exabyte-scale data with over 95% accuracy, identifies sensitive records at risk, and enforces access controls without disrupting existing workflows. The platform integrates DSPM, DLP, identity, and behavior management, providing enterprises with a single platform to manage everything their AI can access and operate on. Companies such as Paramount, Chipotle, and Valvoline use Cyera to control the data AI can access and manage subsequent actions. Cyera has accumulated over $2.3 billion in investments from Accel, Blackstone, Cyberstarts, Georgian, Lightspeed, and Sequoia.
