What is Cyera AI Security?
Securing the data that flows through AI — AI Guardian (shadow-AI discovery + runtime over prompts/responses) & Agent Guardian (securing AI agents, via Oasis non-human identity). Built on data classification.
Ungoverned AI vs Cyera data-context AI security — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Unprotected / signature email | AI Security (Cyera) |
|---|---|---|
| AI visibility | Shadow AI invisible | Discovered & inventoried |
| Data context | ‘Is it AI?’ only | Knows what data AI touches |
| Runtime | Unprotected | Prompts & responses inspected |
| AI agents | Ungoverned | Every tool call/query governed |
| Non-human identity | Unmanaged | Oasis — agentic access |
| Regulated data + AI | Unknown flow | DPDPA-aware policy |
| Unity | A separate point tool | One classification w/ DSPM |
| Best fit | (varies) | Data-context AI & agent security |
Cyera AI Security secures the data flowing through AI — AI Guardian (shadow-AI discovery + runtime over prompts/responses) & Agent Guardian (securing AI agents, every tool call/query, via Oasis non-human identity) — built on Cyera’s data-classification engine, so it knows what data the AI touches. Honest: AI-SPM/runtime/agent security are emerging (2025–26) and Cyera’s pieces are new — validate them; want AI-SPM in a CNAPP? Wiz (TechBag sells it). TechBag scopes it & adds GST.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Discover Shadow AI
AI Guardian discovers the AI actually in use — sanctioned copilots and models and unapproved shadow AI — so you know your real AI footprint.
Know the Data It Touches
Built on Cyera’s classification engine, AI Security knows what data each AI tool or agent touches, context standalone AI tools lack.
Govern AI Usage & Agents
Scores and governs AI tools and agents — posture, risk, policy, what each may do and which data it may reach — so adoption is safe by design.
Enforce at Runtime
AI Guardian inspects prompts and responses for leakage and misuse; Agent Guardian governs every tool call and query an agent makes, in real time.
Secure Non-Human Identity
Agents act with non-human identities; the Oasis acquisition (~$1B, Jul 2026) governs that agentic access, so agents are not an ungoverned path to data.
One map of where sensitive data lives and who touches it — risk governed at the source, not at the perimeter.
Twelve capabilities. Discover, govern, enforce.
Cyera secures the data flowing through your AI — and knows what data it touches — the AI edge of the Cyera portfolio.
Shadow-AI Discovery
Discovers the AI tools, models and copilots in use, sanctioned or not, so shadow AI stops being an invisible risk.
AI Inventory & Posture (AI-SPM)
A live inventory of models, apps, agents and connections, each with a security posture and risk score.
Data the AI Touches
Shows which sensitive data each AI tool or agent can access, using Cyera’s classification, context standalone tools lack.
AI Governance & Policy
Policy sets which AI tools are sanctioned, which data may flow to which model and what is prohibited.
AI Risk Scoring
Ranks AI tools and agents by data sensitivity, exposure and trustworthiness, so the riskiest get attention first.
AI Compliance & DPDPA
Maps AI usage to DPDPA, GDPR and emerging AI rules, governing where regulated data may flow through AI.
Runtime Protection (Prompts & Responses)
AI Guardian inspects prompts and responses, catching sensitive-data leakage, prompt injection and misuse in real time.
Agent Guardian — Secure AI Agents
Governs every tool call and database query an AI agent makes, so it cannot over-reach into sensitive data or act unsafely.
Non-Human Identity (Oasis)
Governs the non-human identities agents act with, via the Oasis acquisition (~$1B, Jul 2026), so agentic access is managed.
Block Data Over-Reach
Uses data classification at runtime to stop an AI tool or agent reaching sensitive data it shouldn’t.
Unified with Your Data Security
AI security shares the classification used by DSPM, Omni DLP and Data Access Governance, so protection is consistent.

Here’s what genuinely sets Cyera AI Security apart (and where it’s emerging and new).
Secure the data flowing through AI — with real data context
AI adoption outran governance: staff feed sensitive data into sanctioned and shadow copilots, and agents now query databases on their own. AI Guardian discovers shadow AI and inspects prompts and responses; Agent Guardian governs agent tool calls. Built on Cyera’s classification, both know what regulated data each AI can reach.
Agent Guardian — securing what AI AGENTS actually do (via Oasis)
AI agents call tools, query databases and move data using non-human identities; an over-permissioned agent is a new path to sensitive data. Agent Guardian controls every tool call and query with classification context, building on the Oasis Security acquisition (~$1B, July 2026). It is new: validate it and deploy with oversight.
Discover shadow AI — you can’t govern what you can’t see
Staff adopt copilots, chatbots and browser AI faster than IT can approve them, and bans push it underground. AI Guardian builds a live inventory of models, apps, agents and connections, ties each to the data it can touch via Cyera’s classification, and scores its risk, so you can sanction the safe and rein in the risky.
The India hook: govern where regulated data flows through AI (DPDPA)
As Indian BFSI, healthcare and IT/ITES firms adopt copilots and agents, regulated personal data can leak into prompts, models or agent actions, a DPDPA risk. Cyera finds the AI in use, knows which regulated data each can reach, and enforces policy at runtime. AI security is new, and Cyera has no confirmed India office; it is partner-led.
A fast-rising leader on the AI edge — and TechBag adds honesty + local support
Cyera (founded 2021) has raised >$2.3B, most recently a $600M Series G in June 2026 at a $12B valuation, with >$150M ARR. Its AI security builds on Otterize and Shape AI (2025) and Oasis (~$1B, Jul 2026). AI-SPM and agent security are emerging categories with focused rivals such as Wiz AI-SPM, Purview AI, Prompt Security and Lasso.
The honest scope
Cyera’s AI security stands out for resting on a strong classification engine plus Oasis non-human identity. But AI-SPM, runtime and agent security are 2025–2026 categories, Cyera’s pieces are newly built or acquired, and specialists like Wiz AI-SPM, Purview AI, Prompt Security and Lasso go deeper in niches. Validate first.
