AI and data security company Cyera has raised $400 million in a new Series F investment round, bringing its total funding to over $1.7 billion. This raise comes just over six months after the previous round and triples the company’s valuation from a year ago to $9 billion.
The funding round was led by Blackstone and supported by all inside investors including Accel, Coatue, Cyberstarts, Georgian, Greenoaks, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint, Sapphire, Sequoia Capital, and Spark.
In total, Cyera has raised more than $1.2 billion in funding over the past year, making it one of the top-funded security startups in the world.
Cyera’s rapid growth is directly related to the rise of ‘agentic AI’ – autonomous AI systems that act on behalf of organizations.
“AI is reshaping the foundations of how every organization operates, and our mission is to ensure that this transformation happens securely,” said Yotam Segev, co-founder and CEO of Cyera. “Enterprises want to move quickly, but they also recognize that AI without data security and governance is a risk they cannot afford.
Cyera offers a platform that provides enterprises visibility and control of all their data. This eliminates blind spots and enables organizations to comply with strict privacy regulations while rolling out AI applications.
The company now counts 20% of the Fortune 500 among its customers, including top companies in financial services, retail, media & entertainment, healthcare, technology, and global telecom.
With the new capital, Cyera aims to further expand its global presence. Over the past twelve months, its workforce has already tripled to over 1,100 employees across 15 countries across North America, EMEA, and APAC. The company has also forged strategic partnerships with major players like Microsoft Purview, AWS, and Cohesity to accelerate the integration of AI security into existing cloud infrastructures.
