Quick answer

Cyera AI Security is Cyera’s most differentiated — and newest — area: securing the data that flows through AI, in two parts. AI Guardian (AI Security Posture Management, AI-SPM) DISCOVERS shadow AI across your organisation (which AI tools, models and copilots are actually in use, sanctioned or not) and protects the AI RUNTIME — inspecting the prompts going in and the responses coming out for sensitive-data leakage, misuse and policy violations. Agent Guardian goes further to secure AI AGENTS themselves — the autonomous agents that take actions — governing every tool call and database query an agent makes, so an agent can’t over-reach into sensitive data; it feeds off Cyera’s acquisition of Oasis Security (~$1B, July 2026) for non-human identity and agentic access. The unifying edge: both are built on Cyera’s data-CLASSIFICATION engine — so they know what data the AI (or agent) is actually touching, which is Cyera’s advantage over standalone AI-security point tools. Cyera the company (founded 2021; CEO Yotam Segev + CTO Tamar Bar-Ilan; HQ New York + Tel Aviv R&D; ~800 staff) is fast-rising — a $600M Series G in June 2026 valued it at $12B, with >$150M ARR and roughly one in five of the Fortune 500 as customers. Honest scope: AI-SPM, AI-runtime and AI-agent security are EMERGING categories (2025–2026), each with focused specialists (e.g. Prompt Security, Lasso Security for runtime; Palo Alto AI Access Security; Wiz AI-SPM within its CNAPP; Microsoft Purview AI) — and Cyera’s capabilities here are NEW, so validate them against your AI use-cases and deploy with oversight. Cyera’s edge is building AI security on its data-classification engine plus Oasis non-human-identity — not that it’s the most mature. And Cyera stays data-first, NOT a full CNAPP like Wiz (which TechBag also sells). From Cyera — AI security that knows what data your AI is touching. TechBag scopes it and supports it in INR/GST (the DPDPA data-residency hook) for Indian enterprises. Read more ↓ Show less ↑

Under the hood

The five pieces of the platform

Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.

01
The foundation

Discover Shadow AI

Find the AI in use

AI Guardian discovers the AI actually in use across your organisation — sanctioned copilots and models AND the shadow AI nobody approved — so you know your real AI footprint before you can govern it. You can’t govern what you can’t see. Find the AI first.

02
The edge

Know the Data It Touches

Classification context

Because it’s built on Cyera’s CLASSIFICATION engine, AI Security knows WHAT DATA each AI tool or agent is actually touching — the context standalone AI-security tools lack. Know the data behind the AI. The classification advantage.

03
The governance

Govern AI Usage & Agents

AI-SPM + agent policy

Score and govern the AI (posture, risk, policy) and the AI AGENTS — what each is allowed to do, what data it may reach — so AI adoption is safe by design, not a free-for-all. Govern the AI. Safe adoption, by policy.

04
The control

Enforce at Runtime

Prompts, responses, tool calls

Enforce in real time: AI Guardian inspects prompts and responses for sensitive-data leakage and misuse; Agent Guardian governs every tool call and database query an agent makes — blocking the over-reach before it happens. Enforce in the moment. Runtime protection.

05
The AI-era piece

Secure Non-Human Identity

Oasis — agentic access

AI agents act with NON-HUMAN identities — and Cyera’s Oasis acquisition (~$1B, Jul 2026) secures them, governing agentic access so an autonomous agent can’t become an ungoverned path to your data. Secure the non-human. Built for the agentic era.

One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.

Part 03 · Evaluate

Twelve capabilities. Discover, govern, enforce.

Cyera secures the data flowing through your AI — and knows what data it touches — the AI edge of portfolio, and paired with the human firewall.

Discover
Shadow AI

Shadow-AI Discovery

Discover the AI tools, models and copilots actually in use across the org — sanctioned and unsanctioned — so shadow AI stops being an invisible risk. Find the AI nobody approved. See your real footprint.

Discover
AI inventory

AI Inventory & Posture (AI-SPM)

Build a live inventory of your AI — models, apps, agents, connections — with a security posture and risk score for each, so you can see and rank AI risk. Inventory the AI. Posture, scored.

Discover
Data context

Data the AI Touches

Know exactly what SENSITIVE data each AI tool or agent can access or process — built on Cyera’s classification — the context standalone AI-security tools don’t have. Know the data behind the AI. Classification-powered.

Govern
AI policy

AI Governance & Policy

Define and enforce policy for AI usage — which tools are sanctioned, what data may flow to which model, what’s prohibited — so AI adoption is governed, not a free-for-all. Govern AI use. Policy, not chaos.

Govern
Risk scoring

AI Risk Scoring

Score AI tools and agents by risk — sensitivity of data touched, exposure, trustworthiness — so you prioritise the riskiest AI first. Rank the AI risk. Focus where it matters.

Govern
Compliance

AI Compliance & DPDPA

Map AI usage to regulatory obligations (DPDPA, GDPR, emerging AI rules) — governing where regulated data may flow through AI. Compliant AI adoption. Regulation-aware.

Enforce
Prompt/response

Runtime Protection (Prompts & Responses)

AI Guardian inspects the prompts going into models and the responses coming out — catching sensitive-data leakage, prompt-injection and misuse in real time. Protect the runtime. Watch prompts & responses.

Enforce
Agent security

Agent Guardian — Secure AI Agents

Secure AI AGENTS themselves — governing every tool call and database query an autonomous agent makes — so an agent can’t over-reach into sensitive data or take unsafe actions. Secure what agents do. Every call, governed.

Enforce
Non-human identity

Non-Human Identity (Oasis)

Govern the NON-HUMAN identities AI agents act with — via Cyera’s Oasis acquisition (~$1B, Jul 2026) — so agentic access is managed, not an ungoverned path to data. Secure the non-human. Built for agents.

Enforce
Block over-reach

Block Data Over-Reach

Stop an AI tool or agent from reaching sensitive data it shouldn’t — enforced at runtime using data classification — before leakage or misuse happens. Stop the over-reach. Least-privilege for AI.

Enforce
Unified with data

Unified with Your Data Security

AI security runs on the same classification as DSPM, Omni DLP and Data Access Governance — so protecting AI is consistent with protecting the rest of your data. One truth, everywhere. Consistent by design.

Why AI Security

The endpoint catches what arrives. Email stops it arriving.

Here’s what genuinely sets Cyera AI Security apart (and where it’s emerging and new).

01

Secure the data flowing through AI — with real data context

The single biggest reason organisations choose Cyera AI Security is that it secures the data flowing through AI — and does it knowing WHAT DATA the AI is actually touching, the context standalone AI-security tools lack. The problem it solves: AI adoption exploded faster than governance — employees pipe sensitive data into copilots and models (sanctioned and shadow), and increasingly autonomous AI AGENTS take actions and query databases on their own. The risks are real: sensitive-data leakage into prompts and models, prompt-injection and misuse, and agents over-reaching into data they shouldn’t. Most organisations can’t even see their AI footprint, let alone govern the data it touches. What Cyera provides: AI Guardian discovers shadow AI and protects the AI runtime (inspecting prompts and responses for leakage and misuse), and Agent Guardian secures AI agents (governing every tool call and query) — all built on Cyera’s CLASSIFICATION engine, so it knows exactly what sensitive data each AI or agent can reach. That data context is the differentiator: it’s not just ‘is this an AI tool?’ but ‘what regulated data can this AI touch, and should it?’. Why it matters: AI is a genuinely new attack surface, and securing it well requires knowing the DATA behind the AI — which is exactly Cyera’s core strength. That lets organisations adopt AI safely (not ban it, not leave it ungoverned). The value: Cyera AI Security secures the data flowing through AI — discovering shadow AI, protecting the runtime, and securing AI agents — with real data-classification context. For safe AI adoption, this matters. TechBag helps organisations govern their AI safely. TechBag helps you adopt AI without leaking data.

02

Agent Guardian — securing what AI AGENTS actually do (via Oasis)

A distinctive, forward-leaning strength of Cyera is Agent Guardian — securing AI AGENTS themselves, the autonomous systems that take actions, by governing every tool call and database query they make — built on Cyera’s Oasis Security acquisition for non-human identity. The problem it solves: the next wave of AI isn’t just chatbots — it’s AGENTS that autonomously act: calling tools, querying databases, moving data, taking steps on your behalf. Each agent acts with a NON-HUMAN identity, and an over-permissioned or manipulated agent is a powerful new path to sensitive data. Traditional identity and security tools weren’t built for this. What Cyera provides: Agent Guardian governs what an agent is allowed to do — inspecting and controlling every tool call and database query so the agent can’t over-reach into sensitive data or take unsafe actions — and it does this with data-classification context (it knows the sensitivity of what the agent is reaching for). It feeds off Cyera’s acquisition of Oasis Security (~$1B, July 2026), which specialises in NON-HUMAN IDENTITY and agentic access management — exactly the layer securing agents requires. Why it matters: as agentic AI moves into production, ‘what can this agent access and do?’ becomes a core security question — and few vendors are positioned to answer it at the data layer. Cyera’s classification-plus-Oasis combination is a genuine, differentiated bet on the agentic era. (Honest note: this is NEW — validate it for your agent use-cases and deploy with oversight.) The value: Agent Guardian secures AI agents — governing every tool call and query with data context and non-human-identity (Oasis) — for the agentic era. For securing autonomous AI, this matters. TechBag helps you pilot Agent Guardian safely. TechBag helps you govern your AI agents.

03

Discover shadow AI — you can’t govern what you can’t see

A key practical strength of AI Guardian is SHADOW-AI DISCOVERY — finding the AI tools, models and copilots actually in use across the organisation, sanctioned or not — the essential first step before any governance is possible. The problem it solves: employees adopt AI faster than IT can approve it — copilots, chatbots, model integrations, browser AI — much of it unsanctioned ‘shadow AI’ that leadership can’t see. You can’t govern, secure or risk-assess AI you don’t know exists, and blanket bans just push it further underground. What AI Guardian provides: it DISCOVERS the AI in use — building a live inventory of models, apps, agents and connections — and, crucially, ties each to the DATA it can touch (via Cyera’s classification) and a risk score. So you go from ‘we have no idea what AI is running’ to ‘here is our AI footprint, ranked by risk and by the sensitivity of data it reaches’. Why it matters: discovery is the foundation of AI governance — it’s what lets you sanction the safe, rein in the risky, and protect the data — rather than either banning AI (losing the productivity) or ignoring the risk (courting leakage). And Cyera’s data-context makes the discovery meaningful, not just a list. The value: AI Guardian discovers your shadow AI and ties it to the data it touches and a risk score — the foundation of governing AI safely. For seeing your real AI risk, this matters. TechBag helps organisations discover and govern their AI. TechBag helps you see the AI you didn’t know you had.

04

The India hook: govern where regulated data flows through AI (DPDPA)

A strength that matters for Indian enterprises is that Cyera AI Security helps govern where REGULATED personal data may flow through AI — directly relevant to DPDPA as Indian organisations adopt AI at speed. The problem it solves: as Indian BFSI, healthcare, IT/ITES and enterprises rush to adopt AI (copilots, models, agents), a new DPDPA risk emerges — regulated personal data leaking into prompts, models or agent actions, potentially crossing residency or consent boundaries. Governing this requires knowing which AI is in use AND which regulated data it can touch — a data-classification problem at heart. What Cyera provides: because AI Security is built on Cyera’s classification, it can discover the AI in use, know which regulated/sensitive data each AI or agent can reach, and enforce policy on it at runtime — so regulated personal data doesn’t leak into or through AI in violation of DPDPA. It brings AI adoption under the same data-governance umbrella as the rest of your estate. Why it matters: for Indian enterprises, ‘can we adopt AI without breaching DPDPA?’ is becoming a board-level question — and Cyera answers it at the data layer, enabling safe AI adoption rather than a ban. (Honest note: AI security is emerging and new — validate for your use-cases; and Cyera has no confirmed India office, partner-led, so residency specifics come through the channel.) The value: Cyera AI Security helps Indian enterprises govern where regulated data flows through AI — enabling DPDPA-aware, safe AI adoption. For India’s AI-and-DPDPA moment, this matters. TechBag adds the DPDPA-residency scoping, INR/GST and local support. TechBag makes Cyera India-ready.

05

A fast-rising leader on the AI edge — and TechBag adds honesty + local support

Cyera is a fast-rising leader betting hard on the AI-security edge — and for Indian enterprises TechBag adds the honest framing (it’s emerging and new) and local scoping/support that make adopting it a confident, clear-eyed decision. Cyera the company: founded in 2021 (CEO Yotam Segev + CTO Tamar Bar-Ilan; NYC + Tel Aviv; ~800 staff), Cyera has raised >$2.3B in about 18 months — most recently a $600M Series G in June 2026 valuing it at $12B — with >$150M ARR and ~1 in 5 of the Fortune 500. It has bet on AI security via its classification engine plus acquisitions: Otterize and Shape AI (2025, runtime/NHI) and Oasis Security (~$1B, Jul 2026, non-human identity / agentic access). Where TechBag adds value — honesty first: AI-SPM, AI-runtime and AI-agent security are EMERGING categories (2025–2026), each with focused specialists — Wiz AI-SPM (in its CNAPP; TechBag sells Wiz), Microsoft Purview AI, Palo Alto AI Access Security, Prompt Security, Lasso Security — and Cyera’s capabilities here are NEW. Cyera’s edge is the data-classification foundation plus Oasis NHI, not that it’s the most mature. TechBag is candid about that, and helps you pilot Cyera’s AI Security with the right guardrails and validation. Then the local layer: Cyera is premium/quote-only, no confirmed India office — so TechBag adds scoping, DPDPA help, INR/GST and support. The value: Cyera is a fast-rising leader on the AI-security edge — and TechBag adds honest framing (emerging/new), validation, DPDPA scoping, INR/GST and support. TechBag supplies it with local value. TechBag provides Cyera, made local for India.

06

The honest scope

Cyera AI Security is Cyera’s most differentiated — and newest — area: AI Guardian (AI-SPM: shadow-AI discovery + runtime protection over prompts/responses) and Agent Guardian (securing AI agents — every tool call and query — via the Oasis non-human-identity acquisition), both built on Cyera’s data-classification engine. From Cyera (founded 2021; $12B valuation, 2026). The honest framing — a genuine differentiator, but emerging and new: Cyera’s edge here is real — building AI security on a best-of-breed DATA-CLASSIFICATION engine (so it knows what data the AI touches) plus Oasis non-human-identity (for the agentic era) is a differentiated, forward-leaning position few can match. But several honest caveats matter, and they matter more here than on the flagship. (1) These are EMERGING CATEGORIES. AI-SPM, AI-runtime protection and AI-agent security are all 2025–2026 categories — fast-moving, not yet standardised, and evolving monthly. (2) Cyera’s capabilities here are NEW — much of the breadth is very recently built or acquired (Otterize, Shape AI, Oasis) — so maturity and integration are fair questions; validate against YOUR AI use-cases and deploy with oversight. (3) There are focused SPECIALISTS in each area — Wiz AI-SPM (within its CNAPP; TechBag sells Wiz), Microsoft Purview AI, Palo Alto AI Access Security, Prompt Security and Lasso Security (runtime) — some deeper in their niche; Cyera’s advantage is the data-classification foundation and platform unity, not necessarily being the most mature in any single niche. (4) Cyera stays DATA-first, NOT a full CNAPP like Wiz. (5) It’s premium, quote-only. So the honest positioning: for AI security anchored in real DATA CONTEXT and built for the agentic era (shadow AI, runtime, and — distinctively — AI-agent security via Oasis NHI), Cyera is a compelling, differentiated choice, especially if you already run its data platform; for a specific deep niche, the focused specialists; for AI-SPM within a broad cloud platform, Wiz. It’s the hottest edge — and the newest — so adopt it with validation and oversight. TechBag scopes Cyera’s AI Security honestly — candid that it’s emerging and new, comparing vs the specialists and Wiz, piloting it with guardrails, and licensing and supporting it locally with GST (the DPDPA hook).

The 8 questions to ask every vendor

Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.

1
Shadow AI

Do you know which AI is actually in use? AI Guardian discovers shadow AI and ties it to the data it can touch.

2
Data context

Does your AI security know what DATA the AI touches? Cyera’s is built on classification — the context specialists often lack.

3
AI agents

Moving into agentic AI? Agent Guardian governs every tool call & query, via Oasis non-human identity.

4
Runtime

Are prompts and responses inspected for leakage? AI Guardian protects the AI runtime in real time.

5
Emerging & new

AI security is a 2025–26 category and Cyera’s pieces are new — validate against your use-cases, deploy with oversight. TechBag pilots it.

6
The specialists / Wiz

Want AI-SPM in a CNAPP (Wiz) or a runtime specialist (Prompt/Lasso)? TechBag compares the lanes honestly.

7
DPDPA & AI

Adopting AI under DPDPA? Govern where regulated data flows through AI — TechBag scopes it & adds GST.

8
Licensing

Cyera is premium, quote-only — TechBag scopes it, adds INR/GST invoicing (18%) and local support.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Cyera AI Security is Cyera’s most differentiated — and newest — area: securing the data that flows through AI, in two parts. AI Guardian (AI Security Posture Management, AI-SPM) DISCOVERS shadow AI across your organisation (which AI tools, models and copilots are in use, sanctioned or not) and protects the AI RUNTIME — inspecting prompts and responses for sensitive-data leakage, misuse and policy violations. Agent Guardian secures AI AGENTS themselves — governing every tool call and database query an autonomous agent makes, so it can’t over-reach into sensitive data — feeding off Cyera’s acquisition of Oasis Security (~$1B, Jul 2026) for non-human identity and agentic access. Both are built on Cyera’s data-CLASSIFICATION engine, so they know what data the AI (or agent) is touching — the edge over standalone AI-security tools. Cyera the company (founded 2021; NYC + Tel Aviv) is fast-rising — $12B valuation (2026), >$150M ARR, ~1 in 5 of the Fortune 500. Honest note: AI-SPM, AI-runtime and AI-agent security are EMERGING categories (2025–26), each with focused specialists (Prompt Security, Lasso, Palo Alto AI Access, Wiz AI-SPM, Purview AI), and Cyera’s here are NEW — validate against your use-cases, deploy with oversight. Cyera’s edge is the classification foundation + Oasis NHI, not that it’s the most mature. TechBag scopes it and supports it in INR/GST.
