Overview

Cyera is a data security company founded in 2021 by Yotam Segev and Tamar Bar-Ilian [3]. The company operates an AI-powered platform that helps enterprises discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across cloud environments [2]. Cyera's platform provides contextual insight into data for cyber-resilience and compliance purposes [3]. In July 2026, Cyera agreed to acquire identity-security company Oasis Security for roughly $1 billion, with the deal paid mostly in cash and the remainder in Cyera shares [1]. The acquisition was undertaken to address security risks from proliferating AI agents [1].

Cyera builds an AI security platform that discovers, governs and protects data across cloud, SaaS and hybrid environments. Modules include DSPM as the data security control plane, Omni DLP, Access Trail (tracking which humans and AI systems access which data), Agent Guardian/AI-SPM for shadow-AI discovery and runtime protection of AI agents, and a privacy module for data subject requests. Cyera claims deployment in under a day, scanning 74PB in 7 days, 95%+ classification accuracy and 80% less risk in 3 months. [9]

Business address: 1375 Broadway, New York, New York, 10018. [14]
