Quick answer

Cyera is an AI-native data security company — it discovers, classifies and protects an organisation’s sensitive data everywhere it lives (cloud, SaaS, IaaS, on-prem), and now secures the data flowing through AI. Its core idea: you can’t protect what you can’t see, so Cyera built an AI-native DATA SECURITY POSTURE MANAGEMENT (DSPM) engine that autonomously discovers and classifies data at scale (it claims >95% autonomous classification accuracy, agentless) — and everything else (DLP, AI security, data access governance) runs off that same deep understanding of your data. Cyera is fast-rising: founded in 2021 (CEO Yotam Segev + CTO Tamar Bar-Ilan, with an Israeli-intelligence engineering pedigree; HQ New York + Tel Aviv R&D; ~800 staff), it has raised >$2.3B in about 18 months — most recently a $600M Series G in June 2026 that valued it at $12B (led by Evolution Equity) — with >$150M ARR (tripled in 2025, though still unprofitable) and roughly one in five of the Fortune 500 as customers. It has built breadth rapidly by acquisition: Trail Security (Oct 2024, $162M → the AI-native Omni DLP), Otterize and Shape AI (2025, runtime/non-human-identity), and Oasis Security (~$1B, Jul 2026 → non-human-identity and agentic access for AI agents). TechBag presents four angles as full intel pages: DSPM (the flagship — AI data discovery & classification), Omni DLP (AI-native data loss prevention), AI Security (AI Guardian for AI-SPM + runtime, and Agent Guardian for AI agents), and Data Access Governance (who — human and non-human — can access what data). Honest scope: Cyera is YOUNG (founded 2021); it is data-security-focused, NOT a full cloud-security platform (CNAPP) like Wiz — it PAIRS WITH Wiz, it doesn’t replace it; its breadth is acquisition-built, so integration maturity is a fair question to ask; and it is premium, quote-only pricing. Gartner note: there is NO DSPM Magic Quadrant — only a Market Guide, in which Cyera is a Representative Vendor (2025); so ‘Gartner MQ Leader for DSPM’ would be wrong. TechBag also sells Wiz, Varonis and Securiti and compares them honestly. India: Cyera has no confirmed local office (partner-led) — but DPDPA data-residency (knowing exactly where your sensitive data lives) is the sharpest hook. From Cyera — an AI-native data security platform built on a best-of-breed classification engine. TechBag scopes it and supports it in INR/GST for Indian enterprises. Read more ↓ Show less ↑

DSPM

See & classify data everywhere.

The flagship — AI-native Data Security Posture Management. Cyera autonomously DISCOVERS and CLASSIFIES your sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem (agentless; it claims >95% autonomous classification accuracy), then shows you the risk — exposure, misplacement, over-permissioned access. You can’t protect what you can’t see; the classification engine is the moat, and every other Cyera capability (DLP, AI security, access governance) runs off it. Gartner names Cyera a Representative Vendor in its DSPM Market Guide (2025).

Omni DLP

Stop data loss, less noise.

AI-native Data Loss Prevention — built from the Trail Security acquisition (Oct 2024, $162M). Omni DLP protects data in motion, at rest and in use, and because it runs on Cyera’s deep DSPM classification, it slashes the false-positive alert noise that buries legacy DLP teams. The DSPM CONTEXT is the differentiator: it knows what the data actually IS before it decides what to allow. Newer (acquisition-built) — but the classification-first approach is exactly what legacy DLP lacked.

AI Security

Secure the AI, and the agents.

Cyera’s most differentiated bet — two parts. AI Guardian (AI-SPM): discover SHADOW AI across the org and protect the AI RUNTIME (inspecting prompts and responses for sensitive-data leakage and misuse). Agent Guardian: secure AI AGENTS themselves — every tool call and database query an agent makes — feeding off the Oasis Security acquisition (~$1B, Jul 2026) for non-human identity. Built on Cyera’s data-classification engine, so it knows what data the AI is touching. Emerging category (2025–2026), each area has specialists — validate for your environment.

Who can access whatIntel page →

Data Access Governance

Right-size access — human & non-human.

Who — HUMAN and NON-HUMAN — can access what sensitive data, and whether they should. Cyera maps identities to data, analyses effective access, and helps right-size over-permissioned entitlements — powered by Otterize (eBPF runtime) and Oasis (agentic access management for AI agents / non-human identity). The edge is that it’s DATA-CONTEXT-AWARE (it knows the sensitivity of what’s being accessed) and built for the AI era of non-human identity. Varonis has deep DAG heritage (TechBag sells it) — Cyera’s twist is data-context + NHI.

Human + non-human access · data-context-awareExplore

One classification engine — the DSPM foundation

Platform & engine

Everything Cyera does runs on ONE thing: a best-of-breed, AI-native data DISCOVERY and CLASSIFICATION engine (agentless, claiming >95% autonomous accuracy across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem). DSPM is that engine surfaced as posture; Omni DLP uses it to decide what to protect; AI Security uses it to know what data the AI is touching; Data Access Governance uses it to weigh the sensitivity of what an identity can reach. Deep, accurate classification is the moat — and the reason a data-first platform can credibly span DLP, AI and access. Validate the classification accuracy for your own data estate.

Breadth built by acquisition — fast, with an integration question

Platform & engine

Cyera scaled its platform astonishingly fast — by ACQUISITION as much as by build. Trail Security (Oct 2024, $162M) became Omni DLP; Otterize and Shape AI (2025) added runtime and non-human-identity; Oasis Security (~$1B, Jul 2026) added non-human-identity and agentic access for AI agents. That’s how a 2021 company offers DSPM + DLP + AI security + access governance so quickly. The honest flip side: acquisition-built breadth raises a fair INTEGRATION-MATURITY question — how seamlessly do the pieces work as one platform yet? Validate the modules you care about; the DSPM core is the most proven.

The thesis

Why “AI-native classification” is the whole story

Most organisations don’t know where their sensitive data actually lives — you can’t protect what you can’t see. Cyera bet onAI-native discovery & classification — the data-first foundation everything else runs on— an AI-native, agentless engine that autonomously discovers and classifies your sensitive data everywhere (it claims >95% accuracy), the data-first foundation that DLP, AI security and access governance all run on doubled down on it.

01
The foundation

AI Data Classification

An AI-native, agentless engine that autonomously discovers and classifies sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem (Cyera claims >95% autonomous accuracy). You can’t protect what you can’t see — this deep, accurate understanding of your data is Cyera’s genuine moat.

02
The flagship

DSPM — Posture & Risk

Surface the risk that classification reveals — exposed, misplaced, duplicated or over-permissioned sensitive data — as a prioritised posture you can act on. Cyera is a Gartner Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide (2025). Note: there is no DSPM Magic Quadrant, only a Market Guide.

03
The protection

Protect the Data (Omni DLP)

Turn understanding into control: Omni DLP (from the Trail acquisition) protects data in motion, at rest and in use, and — because it’s DSPM-context-aware — does it with far less of the false-positive noise that buries legacy DLP. Classification-first prevention.

04
The edge

Secure the AI & the Agents

AI Guardian discovers shadow AI and protects the AI runtime (prompts/responses); Agent Guardian secures AI AGENTS themselves (every tool call, every query) using non-human identity from the Oasis acquisition. Data-security for the AI era — the hottest differentiator (and newest).

05
The India layer

Fast-Rising — Local via TechBag

A fast-rising leader ($12B valuation, Series G Jun 2026; >$150M ARR; ~1 in 5 of the Fortune 500) — young (2021), data-first (not a full CNAPP; pairs with Wiz), premium/quote-only. No confirmed India office (partner-led); DPDPA data-residency is the sharpest hook. TechBag scopes it, compares honestly vs Wiz/Varonis/Securiti, and adds INR/GST.

Start with DSPM (see & classify your data) — then add Omni DLP, AI Security (AI Guardian + Agent Guardian) and Data Access Governance. One classification engine.

Every term on these pages, in one place
Cyera
An AI-native data security company — discover, classify and protect sensitive data everywhere (cloud, SaaS, IaaS, on-prem) and secure the data flowing through AI. Founded 2021; $12B valuation (2026).
DSPM
Data Security Posture Management — continuously discover, classify and assess the risk of sensitive data across your estate. Cyera’s flagship; note there is NO Gartner DSPM Magic Quadrant, only a Market Guide.
AI data classification
Cyera’s moat — an AI-native, agentless engine that autonomously discovers and classifies sensitive data (it claims >95% autonomous accuracy). Everything else runs off it.
Omni DLP
Cyera’s AI-native Data Loss Prevention (from the Trail Security acquisition, Oct 2024, $162M) — protects data in motion, at rest and in use, with less noise because it’s DSPM-context-aware.
AI Guardian (AI-SPM)
Cyera’s AI Security Posture Management — discover shadow AI and protect the AI runtime (inspecting prompts and responses for sensitive-data leakage).
Agent Guardian
Cyera’s capability to secure AI AGENTS — every tool call and database query an agent makes — built on non-human identity from the Oasis Security acquisition.
Data Access Governance (DAG)
Who — human and non-human — can access what sensitive data, and right-sizing over-permissioned access. Powered by Otterize (eBPF runtime) and Oasis.
Non-human identity (NHI)
Service accounts, tokens, keys and AI agents — the fast-growing identities that access data. Cyera’s Oasis acquisition (~$1B, Jul 2026) targets NHI and agentic access.
CNAPP
Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform — the broad cloud-security category Wiz leads. Cyera is data-first, NOT a full CNAPP; it PAIRS WITH Wiz rather than replacing it.

Gartner’s designation in a Market Guide (as opposed to a Magic Quadrant). Cyera is a Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide (2025) — there is no DSPM MQ.
Acquisition-built breadth
Cyera scaled its platform fast by acquisition (Trail, Otterize, Shape AI, Oasis) — which raises a fair integration-maturity question. The DSPM core is the most proven.
The India hook
Cyera has no confirmed India office (partner-led) — but DPDPA data-residency (knowing exactly where sensitive data lives) is the sharpest reason for Indian enterprises to adopt it. TechBag adds INR/GST.
Track 02 · Buying guides

Buy it like you’ve done this before

The procurement playbook TechBag runs with IT buyers — steps, licensing cheat-sheet, and the pitfalls that cost quarters.

01

Scope (& the data-first vs CNAPP fit)

Your data estate (cloud/SaaS/IaaS/on-prem), your priorities (visibility, DLP, AI, access), and what you already run. TechBag scopes it — and is candid that Cyera is data-first (pairs with Wiz’s CNAPP, doesn’t replace it) and compares honestly vs Varonis and Securiti.

02

Start with DSPM (see your data)

Connect Cyera’s agentless engine and let it autonomously discover and classify your sensitive data — giving you the prioritised map of exposure, misplacement and over-permissioned access. You can’t protect what you can’t see.

03

Turn understanding into control

Add Omni DLP (protect data with DSPM context, less noise), AI Security (shadow-AI + runtime + AI agents), and Data Access Governance (right-size human and non-human access) — all off the same classification. Validate the acquisition-built modules.

04

Secure the AI era

As AI adoption grows, turn on AI Guardian (discover shadow AI, protect prompts/responses) and Agent Guardian (secure what AI agents do, via Oasis non-human identity). Data security built for AI — the hottest, and newest, edge.

05

Compare honestly

Want a full cloud-security CNAPP? Wiz (TechBag sells it — pair, don’t replace). Deep on-prem/unstructured + DAG heritage? Varonis (TechBag sells it). A broad data command centre? Securiti (Veeam-owned; TechBag sells it). TechBag advises honestly.

06

Buy through the channel

Cyera is premium, quote-only — TechBag adds scoping, honest comparison, DPDPA data-residency help (the India hook) and the local commercial layer (INR/GST invoicing and local support).

Per-user/device plus appliances and MDR service — TechBag models the mix (managed vs self-managed) for your size.

Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters

1

Expecting a full cloud-security platform (it’s data-first)

Cyera is best-of-breed at DATA security — discovery, classification, DSPM — but it is NOT a full Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) like Wiz (which TechBag also sells). Cyera PAIRS WITH a CNAPP (data-layer depth alongside cloud-workload/config coverage); it doesn’t replace it. If you need full cloud posture, workload and config security, that’s Wiz’s lane. TechBag scopes the pairing honestly.

2

Reading ‘Gartner’ as an MQ Leadership claim

There is NO Gartner Magic Quadrant for DSPM — only a Market GUIDE, in which Cyera is named a Representative Vendor (2025). That’s a genuine, credible recognition — but ‘Gartner MQ Leader for DSPM’ would be simply wrong (no such MQ exists). Be precise: Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide. TechBag states it accurately.

3

Underweighting the ‘young + acquisition-built’ integration question

Cyera is fast-rising and impressive — but it was founded in 2021 and much of its breadth (Omni DLP, non-human-identity, agentic access) is ACQUISITION-built (Trail, Otterize, Shape AI, Oasis). That’s a fair integration-maturity question: how seamlessly do the modules work as one platform yet? The DSPM core is the most proven; validate the newer modules for your case. TechBag helps you test what matters.

4

Treating AI Security / Agent Guardian as fully mature

Cyera’s AI Security (AI Guardian, Agent Guardian) is its hottest differentiator — but AI-SPM, AI-runtime and AI-agent security are EMERGING categories (2025–2026), and each area has focused specialists. Cyera’s edge is building them on its data-classification engine plus Oasis non-human-identity — but validate the capabilities against your AI use-cases and deploy with oversight. TechBag helps you pilot them.

5

Missing the DPDPA data-residency hook (and no India office)

Cyera has no confirmed India office — it’s partner-led — so local presence is via the channel. But the sharpest reason for Indian enterprises to adopt it is DPDPA DATA-RESIDENCY: Cyera’s classification tells you exactly WHERE your sensitive data lives, which is foundational to residency compliance. Don’t overlook that hook — or the need to confirm deployment/residency specifics. TechBag surfaces both and handles GST.
