Cyera

Cyera is an AI-native data security platform built to help enterprise security teams discover their data attack surface, control data use, and remediate risk across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments. The platform deploys agentlessly in minutes and uses an AI-powered classification engine that the company says auto-learns over time and delivers 95%+ accuracy. Cyera positions itself as a unified control plane for data security posture management (DSPM), data loss prevention (DLP), AI security, and privacy.

What It Is

Cyera is a cloud-delivered data security platform that combines DSPM, Omni DLP, AI Guardian, Access Trail, and Privacy capabilities into a single product. Its core job is to give security teams continuous visibility into what sensitive data exists, who or what (including AI agents) can access it, and how to remediate exposure before it becomes a breach. The platform is fully agentless—Cyera says it requires no hardware, no software installation, and no network footprint, connecting to cloud environments via read-only IAM roles in minutes.

How the Platform Works

Cyera's architecture separates into two services: a Data Analysis Service that performs discovery and classification entirely out-of-band using cloud-native APIs and snapshot reads, and a Data Insights Service that hosts the web application and API endpoints customers interact with. Key capabilities include:

• Enriched Classification — AI-compound classification that combines data type, identity, context, and risk signals rather than relying on static regex rules
• DSPM — Continuous inventory and posture management across IaaS, DBaaS, SaaS, on-prem, email, network, and endpoint data stores
• Omni DLP — An AI brain that orchestrates DLP alerts, adjusts risk levels, and recommends tuned policies to reduce false positives
• Access Trail — Tracks every human and AI agent touchpoint with sensitive data for insider threat investigation and compliance evidence
• AI Guardian (AI-SPM + AI Runtime Protection) — Discovers sanctioned and shadow AI tools, controls AI data access, and blocks risky agent actions in real time
• Browser Shield — Prevents sensitive data leakage through browser-based AI tool usage
• Remediation — One-click and auto-remediation with blast-radius previews and audit trails; integrates with automation platforms such as Tines and Torq

Vendor-Published Performance Claims

According to Cyera's platform page, the system can scan 74 petabytes in 7 days, achieves 95%+ classification precision, and—based on a subset of customer examples—delivers less than one day to initial value and 80% risk reduction within three months. The company states that no data crosses regions or environments regardless of deployment model, keeping data egress costs negligible and supporting regional compliance mandates such as GDPR.

Integrations and Ecosystem

Cyera integrates across a broad ecosystem including AWS, Microsoft (with dedicated Microsoft Copilot Readiness and M365 solutions), Google Cloud, Snowflake, Cohesity, Wiz, OpenAI, and automation platforms. The integrations page lists connectors spanning cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, collaboration tools, SIEM/SOAR platforms, and ticketing systems. Partnership pages exist for Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, Snowflake, and Cohesity.

Target Audience and Industries

Cyera targets enterprise security and data leaders—CISOs, CSOs, and compliance teams—across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and travel, technology services, and federal government. The platform addresses use cases including insider threat detection, data minimization, public exposure reduction, compliance readiness (PCI DSS, DORA, GDPR), M&A and divestitures, Microsoft Copilot readiness, and AI employee and prompt security.

Recognition and Current Status

Cyera is an active, commercially available platform. The company has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Fortune Cyber 60, and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 lists, according to its About page. In Q2 2026, Forrester named Cyera a Leader in its Wave for Sensitive Data Discovery and Classification Solutions. The company is backed by investors including Sequoia Capital, Accel, Coatue, Lightspeed, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, Blackstone, and others, with offices in New York, Tel Aviv, London, Toronto, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Sydney, and St. Louis.
