Quick answer

Cyera Data Access Governance (DAG) answers the question every data-security programme must answer: WHO — human AND non-human — can access what sensitive data, and should they? It maps identities to data, analyses effective access, and helps right-size the over-permissioned entitlements that quietly expand your breach surface. What makes Cyera’s DAG distinctive is two things. First, it’s DATA-CONTEXT-AWARE: because it runs on Cyera’s classification engine, it doesn’t just say ‘this identity can access this bucket’ — it knows the SENSITIVITY of what’s being accessed, so access risk is weighted by how sensitive the data actually is. Second, it’s built for the AI ERA of NON-HUMAN IDENTITY: powered by Otterize (eBPF runtime, non-human identity) and Oasis Security (~$1B, Jul 2026 — agentic access management for AI agents), it governs not just people but the service accounts, tokens, keys and AI AGENTS that increasingly outnumber humans and reach your data. 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: VARONIS has deep, long-established DATA ACCESS GOVERNANCE heritage — especially for on-prem and unstructured data — and TechBag sells it; if your risk centres there, Varonis is the deeper, more battle-tested DAG. Cyera’s edge is being DATA-CONTEXT-aware and built for NON-HUMAN identity in the AI era, unified with its DSPM/DLP/AI-security platform. And Cyera stays data-first, NOT a full CNAPP like Wiz (which TechBag also sells). From Cyera — data access governance that knows the sensitivity of what’s accessed, for humans and machines alike. TechBag scopes it and supports it in INR/GST (the DPDPA data-residency hook) for Indian enterprises. Read more ↓ Show less ↑

Cyera Data Access Governance answers who — human & non-human — can access what sensitive data, and right-sizes it. Distinctively data-context-aware (access risk weighted by data sensitivity) and built for non-human identity & AI agents (Otterize eBPF + Oasis). Honest: Varonis has deep DAG heritage (on-prem/unstructured) — and TechBag SELLS it; Cyera’s edge is data context + the AI era of machine identity. TechBag scopes it & adds GST.

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

Map Identities to Data

Who & what can reach it

Cyera maps which identities — human AND non-human (service accounts, tokens, keys, AI agents) — can access each piece of sensitive data, building the who-can-reach-what picture. Map the access. See who (and what) can reach your data.

02
The edge

Know the Data’s Sensitivity

Classification context

Because it runs on Cyera’s CLASSIFICATION, DAG knows the SENSITIVITY of what’s being accessed — so access risk is weighted by how sensitive the data actually is, not treated as all-equal. Sensitivity-weighted access. The data-context advantage.

03
The analysis

Analyse Effective Access

What access really means

Cyera analyses EFFECTIVE access — cutting through nested groups, inherited permissions and tangled entitlements to show what an identity can ACTUALLY reach — so hidden over-permissioning surfaces. See the real access. Beyond the permission list.

04
The action

Right-Size the Entitlements

Least privilege to data

Cyera helps RIGHT-SIZE over-permissioned access — recommending and enabling least-privilege to sensitive data — so identities (human and machine) hold only the access they genuinely need. Right-size access. Least privilege, enforced.

05
The AI-era piece

Govern Non-Human Identity

Otterize + Oasis

Powered by Otterize (eBPF runtime, non-human identity) and Oasis (~$1B, Jul 2026 — agentic access for AI agents), Cyera governs the machine and agent identities that now outnumber humans. Govern the non-human. Built for the AI era.

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

Part 03 · Evaluate

Twelve capabilities. Map, analyse, right-size.

Cyera governs who — human & non-human — can access your sensitive data, weighted by sensitivity — part of portfolio, and paired with the human firewall.

Map
Identity-to-data map

Identity-to-Data Mapping

Map which identities — human and non-human — can access each piece of sensitive data, so you finally have the who-can-reach-what picture. Map the access. The foundation of governance.

eBPF runtime

Runtime Access (eBPF via Otterize)

See access as it actually happens at RUNTIME — via Otterize’s eBPF — not just static entitlement lists, so you know what’s really being used. Runtime truth. Beyond the config.

Analyse
Sensitivity context

Sensitivity-Weighted Risk

Weight access risk by the SENSITIVITY of the data (from Cyera’s classification) — so over-permissioned access to your crown-jewel data ranks above access to the trivial. Sensitivity-weighted. Focus on crown jewels.

Analyse
Over-permission detection

Over-Permission & Toxic Combos

Detect over-permissioned identities and toxic access combinations — the excessive or dangerous access that expands your breach surface — ranked by data sensitivity. Find the excess. Shrink the blast radius.

Analyse

Stale & Orphaned Access

Surface stale, unused and orphaned access — dormant accounts, leftover permissions, forgotten machine identities — that linger as risk long after they’re needed. Clean up the leftovers. Remove the dormant risk.

Right-size
Right-sizing

Right-Size to Least Privilege

Recommend and enable RIGHT-SIZING — trimming access to least-privilege for sensitive data — so every identity holds only what it genuinely needs. Right-size access. Least privilege, achieved.

Right-size
Agentic access

Agentic Access (Oasis)

Govern the access of AI AGENTS — via Oasis (~$1B, Jul 2026) — so an autonomous agent gets least-privilege, time-bound access to data, not standing over-reach. Govern agent access. Built for agentic AI.

Right-size
DPDPA / audit

Access Audit & DPDPA

Produce the access evidence regulators want — who (and what) can access regulated personal data — for DPDPA, GDPR and audits. Prove the access controls. Audit-ready.

Right-size
Unified with data

Unified with Your Data Security

DAG runs on the same classification as DSPM, Omni DLP and AI Security — so access governance is consistent with the rest of your data security. One truth, everywhere. Consistent by design.

Why Data Access Governance

The endpoint catches what arrives. Email stops it arriving.

Here’s what genuinely sets Cyera DAG apart (and where Varonis has the DAG heritage).

01

Data-context-aware access governance — weight risk by sensitivity

The single biggest reason organisations choose Cyera Data Access Governance is that it’s DATA-CONTEXT-AWARE — it knows the SENSITIVITY of what’s being accessed, so access risk is weighted by how sensitive the data actually is, not treated as all-equal. The problem it solves: classic access governance tells you ‘identity X can access resource Y’ — but without knowing what Y actually CONTAINS, you can’t tell whether that access matters. A million access relationships are noise unless you know which of them touch your crown-jewel sensitive data. So teams either drown in ungraded access findings or miss the few that are genuinely dangerous. What Cyera provides: because DAG runs on Cyera’s CLASSIFICATION engine, it knows exactly how sensitive the data behind each access relationship is (PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, IP) — so it weights access risk by sensitivity, ranking over-permissioned access to crown-jewel data far above access to the trivial. Access governance becomes about the data that matters, not every permission equally. Why it matters: this is the difference between an actionable programme and an unusable one. Sensitivity-weighting lets a lean team fix the highest-risk access first — the over-permissioned identities that can reach your most sensitive data — and demonstrably shrink the breach surface where it counts. It’s access governance that understands the DATA, which is exactly what a data-first platform can uniquely offer. The value: Cyera DAG is data-context-aware — it weights access risk by the sensitivity of the data — so you right-size the access that actually matters. For actionable access governance, this matters. TechBag helps organisations govern access by data sensitivity. TechBag helps you fix the access that counts.

02

Govern non-human identity — the machines and AI agents that outnumber humans

A distinctive, forward-leaning strength of Cyera DAG is that it governs NON-HUMAN IDENTITY — the service accounts, tokens, keys and AI AGENTS that now vastly outnumber human users and quietly reach your data — powered by Otterize and Oasis. The problem it solves: identity has shifted. For every human user, an organisation has many non-human identities — service accounts, API keys, tokens, workloads — and now, increasingly, AI AGENTS that act autonomously. These machine identities are a fast-growing, under-governed path to sensitive data: often over-permissioned, rarely reviewed, and invisible to human-centric IAM tools. And AI agents make it acute — an autonomous agent with standing broad access is a powerful risk. What Cyera provides: DAG extends access governance to these non-human identities — mapping what they can reach, analysing their effective and runtime access (via Otterize’s eBPF), and right-sizing it — and, via the Oasis acquisition (~$1B, Jul 2026), it governs AGENTIC access so AI agents get least-privilege, controlled access rather than standing over-reach. It brings machines and agents under the same data-context-aware governance as humans. Why it matters: as non-human identities and AI agents proliferate, governing ONLY humans leaves the biggest and fastest-growing part of your access surface ungoverned. Cyera’s coverage of non-human identity — built for the AI era — closes that gap at the data layer. The value: Cyera DAG governs non-human identity — service accounts, tokens, keys and AI agents — via Otterize and Oasis, closing the fastest-growing access gap. For the AI era of machine identity, this matters. TechBag helps organisations govern human AND non-human access. TechBag helps you govern the machines too.

03

Right-size to least privilege — shrink the breach surface

A key practical strength of Cyera DAG is that it turns analysis into ACTION — right-sizing over-permissioned entitlements to least-privilege for sensitive data — so your breach surface actually shrinks, not just gets measured. The problem it solves: over-permissioning is endemic — access accumulates over years, nested groups and inherited permissions tangle, stale and orphaned access lingers, and nobody dares remove access for fear of breaking something. The result is a huge, excessive access surface: if an identity (human or machine) is compromised, the attacker inherits everything that identity could reach. What Cyera provides: DAG analyses EFFECTIVE access (cutting through the tangle to show what an identity can ACTUALLY reach), surfaces over-permissioned identities, toxic combinations, and stale/orphaned access — all ranked by data sensitivity — and then helps RIGHT-SIZE: recommending and enabling the trim to least-privilege for the data that matters. So excessive access gets removed safely and measurably. Why it matters: least-privilege is the single most effective way to limit breach impact — if identities can only reach what they genuinely need, a compromise is contained. Right-sizing access to sensitive data directly shrinks the blast radius of any breach or compromised identity, and it’s a core requirement of Zero Trust and of regulations. The value: Cyera DAG right-sizes over-permissioned access to least-privilege for sensitive data — shrinking your breach surface where it matters. For limiting breach impact, this matters. TechBag helps organisations right-size their data access. TechBag helps you shrink the blast radius.

04

The India hook: prove who can access regulated data (DPDPA)

A strength that matters for Indian enterprises is that Cyera DAG produces the ACCESS evidence DPDPA calls for — who (human and non-human) can access regulated personal data — mapped to the sensitivity of that data. The problem it solves: DPDPA (and rules like GDPR) require organisations to protect personal data and control access to it — which means being able to answer, and prove, ‘who can access our regulated personal data, and why?’. For most organisations that’s genuinely hard: access is tangled, non-human identities are invisible, and nobody has mapped access to the ACTUAL sensitive data. What Cyera provides: because DAG runs on Cyera’s classification, it can identify the regulated personal data, map exactly which identities (human AND non-human) can reach it, analyse effective access, and produce audit-ready evidence — then help right-size access to least-privilege. So ‘who can access our DPDPA-regulated data?’ goes from an unanswerable question to a governed, provable control. Why it matters: for Indian BFSI, healthcare, IT/ITES and regulated enterprises, demonstrating controlled access to regulated personal data is becoming a compliance and audit necessity — and Cyera answers it at the data layer, for humans and machines alike. (Honest note: Varonis has deep DAG heritage here too — TechBag sells it; and Cyera has no confirmed India office, partner-led, so residency specifics come through the channel.) The value: Cyera DAG gives Indian enterprises the access evidence and control DPDPA requires — who can reach regulated data, and right-sizing it. For India’s data-protection era, this matters. TechBag adds the DPDPA-residency scoping, INR/GST and local support. TechBag makes Cyera India-ready.

05

A fast-rising platform — and TechBag adds honest comparison (Varonis) + local support

Cyera DAG is part of a fast-rising, well-regarded data-security platform — and for Indian enterprises TechBag adds the honest comparison (Varonis has deep DAG heritage) and local scoping/support that make adopting it a confident 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. Its DAG is powered by Otterize (eBPF runtime, non-human identity) and Oasis (~$1B, Jul 2026, agentic access). Where TechBag adds value — honest comparison first: VARONIS has deep, long-established DATA ACCESS GOVERNANCE heritage, especially for on-prem and unstructured data (file shares, SharePoint), and TechBag SELLS IT — if your access risk centres there, Varonis is the deeper, more battle-tested DAG. Cyera’s edge is being data-context-aware and built for NON-HUMAN identity in the AI era, unified with its DSPM/DLP/AI-security platform. Others to weigh: Microsoft Entra (identity, less data-context), SailPoint (broad identity governance), Veza (access graph), BigID (data + access). TechBag compares them candidly. 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 DAG is data-context-aware, AI-era access governance on a fast-rising platform — and TechBag adds honest comparison (Varonis’ DAG heritage), DPDPA scoping, INR/GST and support. TechBag supplies it with local value. TechBag provides Cyera, made local for India.

06

The honest scope

Cyera Data Access Governance answers who — human AND non-human — can access what sensitive data, and should they: it maps identities to data, analyses effective access, and right-sizes over-permissioned entitlements — distinctively DATA-CONTEXT-aware (weighting risk by sensitivity) and built for NON-HUMAN identity (via Otterize and Oasis). From Cyera (founded 2021; $12B valuation, 2026). The honest framing — a real edge, but Varonis owns the DAG heritage: Cyera’s strengths are genuine — sensitivity-weighted access risk (it knows the data behind the access), coverage of non-human identity and AI agents (the fastest-growing access gap), effective-access analysis and right-sizing, and unity with its data platform. But the central honest caveat is important: VARONIS has deep, long-established DATA ACCESS GOVERNANCE heritage — especially for ON-PREM and unstructured data (file shares, SharePoint, NAS) — and it’s more battle-tested there; and TechBag SELLS Varonis. If your access-governance risk centres on on-prem/unstructured data with mature DAG needs, Varonis is likely the deeper choice. Other honest notes: Microsoft Entra governs identity (but with less DATA context — it knows the identity, not the sensitivity of what’s accessed); SailPoint is broad identity governance and administration; Veza is an access-graph specialist; BigID does data-plus-access intelligence. And Cyera stays DATA-first, NOT a full CNAPP like Wiz (which TechBag also sells). It’s premium, quote-only, and its non-human/agentic pieces (Otterize, Oasis) are relatively new — validate them. So the honest positioning: for DATA-CONTEXT-aware access governance that weights risk by data sensitivity AND governs non-human identity and AI agents for the AI era — unified with your DSPM/DLP/AI-security — Cyera is a compelling, forward-leaning choice; for the deepest, most established DAG (especially on-prem/unstructured), Varonis (TechBag sells it); for broad identity governance, SailPoint/Entra. Cyera’s edge is the DATA and the AI-era MACHINE identity; Varonis’ edge is DAG maturity and heritage. TechBag scopes Cyera DAG honestly — comparing vs Varonis (which it also sells), Entra, SailPoint and Veza, and licensing and supporting it locally with GST (the DPDPA hook).

Non-human identity

Are service accounts, tokens and AI agents governed? Cyera covers them (Otterize + Oasis) — the fastest-growing gap.

3
Effective access

Do you know what identities can ACTUALLY reach (past nested groups)? Cyera analyses effective access, not just paper permissions.

4
Right-sizing

Is over-permissioned access being trimmed? Cyera right-sizes to least-privilege for sensitive data — safely.

5
On-prem / Varonis

Is your risk on-prem/unstructured with mature DAG needs? Varonis has that heritage (TechBag SELLS it) — TechBag advises honestly.

6
Data-first vs identity

Want an identity platform (Entra/SailPoint) instead? They’re identity-centric; Cyera’s edge is data context. TechBag compares.

7
DPDPA evidence

Need to prove who can access regulated data? Cyera produces audit-ready access evidence — 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 Data Access Governance (DAG) answers the question every data-security programme must answer: WHO — human AND non-human — can access what sensitive data, and should they? It maps identities to data, analyses effective access, and helps right-size the over-permissioned entitlements that quietly expand your breach surface. Cyera’s DAG is distinctive in two ways. First, it’s DATA-CONTEXT-AWARE: because it runs on Cyera’s classification engine, it knows the SENSITIVITY of what’s being accessed, so access risk is weighted by how sensitive the data actually is (crown jewels rank above the trivial). Second, it’s built for the AI ERA of NON-HUMAN IDENTITY: powered by Otterize (eBPF runtime, non-human identity) and Oasis (~$1B, Jul 2026, agentic access for AI agents), it governs not just people but the service accounts, tokens, keys and AI AGENTS that now outnumber humans. 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: Varonis has deep, long-established DAG heritage (especially on-prem/unstructured) and TechBag sells it — if your risk centres there, Varonis is deeper. Cyera’s edge is data-context + non-human identity for the AI era, unified with its platform. TechBag scopes it and supports it in INR/GST.
