Cyera Raises $400 Million to Fuel Enterprise AI Security Growth
Cyera, a leading AI and data security company, announced a $400 million Series F funding round, raising its total funding to over $1.7 billion. This new investment arrives just six months after its previous round and triples the company’s valuation from a year ago to $9 billion. Blackstone-managed funds led the round, joined by existing investors including Accel, Coatue, Cyberstarts, Georgian, Greenoaks, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint, Sapphire, Sequoia Capital, and Spark.
“Securing AI isn’t just a technology challenge, it’s the new cornerstone of enterprise trust, and Cyera is committed to leading that shift,” said Yotam Segev, co-founder and CEO of Cyera.
As enterprise adoption of AI accelerates, agentic AI is gaining remarkable traction. According to IDC’s FutureScape: Worldwide Agentic Artificial Intelligence 2026 Predictions, early waves of Generative AI deployments often outpaced safeguards, signaling that by 2030, up to 20% of G1000 organizations could face disruptions due to poor AI agent governance. Organizations that govern autonomous systems effectively while preserving their potential will emerge as leaders in this new era.
“AI is reshaping the foundations of how every organization operates, and our mission is to ensure that this transformation happens securely,” Segev added. “Enterprises want to move quickly, but they also recognize that AI without data security and governance is a risk they cannot afford. This funding strengthens our ability to protect the world’s most sensitive information and help organizations unlock the full potential of AI with confidence.”

Cyera’s rapid growth reflects its industry leadership, with revenue increasing more than 3.4x in just over a year. Key achievements include securing data and AI for 20% of the Fortune 500 across sectors like financial services, retail, media, healthcare, technology, and telecom; tripling its workforce to over 1,100 employees; expanding operations to 15 countries across North America, EMEA, and APAC; launching strategic partnerships with Microsoft Purview, AWS, and Cohesity; and completing three funding rounds totaling $1.24 billion.
“Major platform shifts create rare opportunities for category-defining companies, and Cyera is at the center of one of those moments,” said Vishal Amin, Senior Managing Director, and Yifat Oron, Senior Managing Director and Head of the Israel office at Blackstone. “Cyera’s AI-native platform gives enterprises unified visibility and control of their data, eliminating blind spots and accelerating secure AI adoption.”
This year, Cyera introduced AI Guardian, expanding its platform to deliver continuous risk detection and automated safeguards for AI-driven businesses. Adam Fletcher, Chief Security Officer at Blackstone, noted, “An AI-native approach aligns with the need for clearer visibility and stronger governance as digital systems and data usage continue to evolve.”
Jon Raper, Chief Information Security Officer at Chevron, emphasized, “Organizations need clear visibility and strong controls to protect sensitive data across increasingly complex environments. That clarity is essential to securing people, assets, and reputation, and to maintaining trust and resilience globally.”
Cyera plans to use this funding to accelerate product innovation, expand globally, strengthen ecosystem partnerships, and recruit top talent, continuing to secure enterprise data in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
