"For Cyera, the capital injection is not only intended to scale up, but also to further develop a clear vision on AI security. New York-based Cyera is positioning itself emphatically at the intersection of data and AI. While many security solutions still focus on networks, endpoints, and infrastructure, Cyera focuses on data as its central starting point. This is no coincidence."
"As organizations deploy generative and autonomous AI systems, the attack surface is increasingly shifting to the data on which those systems run. According to the company, the next phase of AI adoption will be dominated by the use of sensitive business data. The first wave of AI mainly revolved around public datasets, but it is access to internal data that makes AI truly valuable for enterprises."
"At the same time, this significantly increases the risks. Autonomous AI agents can take more actions and make more decisions in a short period of time than humans ever could, leading to an explosion of data and potential errors or misuse. Cyera argues that traditional security models cannot keep up with this development. Classic controls have little insight into how AI uses data."
Cyera raised $400 million in a new financing round, valuing the company at approximately $9 billion and arriving six months after the prior round. Investors exhibit strong interest in AI and data security, and Cyera intends to use the capital to scale and deepen its AI security vision. The company centers security on data rather than networks, endpoints, or infrastructure, arguing that generative and autonomous AI shift the attack surface to internal sensitive business data. Autonomous agents increase action velocity and data volumes, raising risks that traditional controls and governance struggle to address.
