Quick answer

Cyera DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) is Cyera’s flagship — an AI-native engine that autonomously DISCOVERS and CLASSIFIES your sensitive data everywhere it lives (cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem), then surfaces the RISK so you can act on it. The core problem it solves: in sprawling, multi-cloud, SaaS-heavy estates most organisations genuinely don’t know where all their sensitive data is — and you can’t protect what you can’t see. Cyera’s answer is a best-of-breed, AGENTLESS classification engine (it claims >95% autonomous classification accuracy) that finds sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, IP), classifies it by type and sensitivity, maps who and what can access it, and prioritises the risk — exposed data, misplaced data, shadow/duplicate data, over-permissioned access. This deep, accurate understanding of your data is Cyera’s moat: every other Cyera capability (Omni DLP, AI Security, Data Access Governance) runs off the same classification. 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, it has >$150M ARR (tripled in 2025), and roughly one in five of the Fortune 500 are customers. Honest scope: Cyera is YOUNG (2021) and DATA-first — it is NOT a full cloud-security platform (CNAPP) like Wiz, which bundles DSPM into a broad cloud suite; Cyera PAIRS WITH Wiz rather than replacing it. Varonis is deeper on on-prem/unstructured data and has DAG heritage; Microsoft Purview is bundled for E5. And precisely: Cyera is NOT a ‘Gartner MQ Leader for DSPM’ — there is NO DSPM Magic Quadrant, only a Gartner Market Guide, in which Cyera is a Representative Vendor (2025). TechBag also sells Wiz, Varonis and Securiti and compares them honestly. From Cyera — an AI-native data security platform built on best-of-breed classification. TechBag scopes it and supports it in INR/GST (the DPDPA data-residency hook) for Indian enterprises. Read more ↓ Show less ↑

Cyera DSPM is AI-native data security posture management — it discovers & classifies your sensitive data everywhere (cloud, SaaS, IaaS, on-prem) and turns it into prioritised risk, on a best-of-breed classification engine the whole platform runs on. Honest: it’s data-first, NOT a full CNAPP — need broad cloud security? Wiz (pair, don’t replace — TechBag sells it). And precisely: Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide, not an MQ Leader. 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

Discover Data Everywhere

Agentless discovery

Cyera connects agentlessly to your cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem stores and DISCOVERS where sensitive data actually lives — including the shadow data and forgotten copies you didn’t know about. You can’t protect what you can’t see. Find it first.

02
The moat

Classify with AI (>95%)

AI classification engine

Cyera’s AI-native engine classifies the discovered data by type and sensitivity — PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, IP — autonomously and at scale (it claims >95% autonomous accuracy), the deep, accurate understanding that everything else runs on. Know what it is. The genuine moat.

03
The context

Map Access & Exposure

Who & what can reach it

Cyera maps which identities (human AND non-human) can access each piece of sensitive data, and how it’s exposed — public, over-shared, over-permissioned. Data plus access plus exposure = real risk. See who can reach what.

04
The posture

Prioritise the Risk

Posture you can act on

Cyera surfaces the risk as a prioritised POSTURE — the exposed, misplaced, duplicated and over-permissioned sensitive data that matters most — so you fix what counts, not chase everything. Risk you can act on. Prioritised, not a firehose.

05
The payoff

Feed the Whole Platform

One classification, many uses

That same classification then powers Omni DLP (protect the data), AI Security (know what AI touches) and Data Access Governance (right-size access) — one data-first foundation, many capabilities. Classify once, protect everywhere. The data-first payoff.

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

Part 03 · Evaluate

Twelve capabilities. Discover, classify, protect.

Cyera discovers & classifies your sensitive data everywhere — the AI-native data-first foundation — the flagship of portfolio, and paired with the human firewall.

Discover
Agentless discovery

Agentless Data Discovery

Discover where sensitive data lives across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem — agentless, so no endpoints to deploy or maintain. Find the data, including the shadow copies. See everything, deploy nothing.

Discover
Multi-cloud & on-prem

Cloud, SaaS, IaaS & On-Prem

Cover the whole estate — the big clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS apps, IaaS data stores and on-prem — in one view. Wherever your sensitive data sprawls, Cyera sees it. One map of all your data.

Discover
Shadow & duplicate data

Shadow & Duplicate Data

Surface the shadow data, forgotten copies and duplicates that quietly expand your risk — the sensitive data nobody remembers is there. Find what you forgot. Shrink the attack surface.

Classify
AI classification

AI-Native Classification (>95%)

Classify discovered data by type and sensitivity — PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, IP — autonomously with AI (Cyera claims >95% autonomous accuracy). Know what each piece of data actually is. Accurate, at scale.

Classify
Context & lineage

Data Context & Lineage

Understand not just the label but the CONTEXT — what the data is, where it came from, how it moves — so classification is meaningful, not just pattern-matched. Context beats regex. Meaningful classification.

Classify
Custom classifiers

Tunable & Custom Classifiers

Tune classification to your business — custom data types, regulatory categories (DPDPA, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI) and sensitivity levels — so the map matches your world. Classify for your rules. Your data, your labels.

Protect
Exposure & risk

Exposure & Risk Posture

See how sensitive data is exposed — public, over-shared, misplaced in the wrong environment — and get a prioritised risk posture, so you fix what matters. Exposure, made visible. Prioritised risk.

Protect
Access mapping

Access & Identity Mapping

Map which identities — human AND non-human — can access each piece of sensitive data, so over-permissioned access shows up as risk. Data plus access equals real risk. See who can reach what.

Protect
DPDPA / residency

Residency & Compliance Insight

Know exactly WHERE your sensitive data lives and how it maps to regulations (DPDPA, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI) — the foundation of data-residency compliance. Know where it lives. Residency, answered.

Protect
Prioritised remediation

Prioritised Remediation

Turn posture into action — prioritised remediation guidance (fix the exposure, move the misplaced data, right-size the access) so teams fix what counts first. Act on the risk. Fix what matters most.

Protect
Continuous posture

Continuous, Not One-Off

Data changes constantly — Cyera continuously re-discovers and re-classifies, so your posture stays current instead of decaying after a one-off scan. Always current. Posture, not a snapshot.

Protect
Platform foundation

The Platform Foundation

DSPM is the foundation the rest of Cyera runs on — Omni DLP, AI Security (AI Guardian + Agent Guardian) and Data Access Governance all use this classification (see those pages). Classify once, protect everywhere. One data-first core.

Why DSPM

The endpoint catches what arrives. Email stops it arriving.

Here’s what genuinely sets Cyera DSPM apart (and where it’s data-first, not a full CNAPP).

01

You can’t protect what you can’t see — find & classify all your data

The single biggest reason organisations choose Cyera DSPM is that it solves the foundational problem of data security: knowing WHERE your sensitive data actually is. The problem it solves: in modern estates — multi-cloud, SaaS-heavy, hybrid — sensitive data sprawls into places nobody tracks: shadow copies, forgotten stores, misconfigured buckets, the wrong environments. Most organisations genuinely don’t have a reliable map of their sensitive data, and every downstream control (DLP, access, compliance) is only as good as that map. You cannot protect what you cannot see. What Cyera provides: an AI-native, AGENTLESS engine that autonomously DISCOVERS sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem — including the shadow and duplicate data — and CLASSIFIES it by type and sensitivity (PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, IP) at scale, claiming >95% autonomous accuracy. It then maps access and exposure, and prioritises the risk. Because it’s agentless and AI-native, it scales across a large estate without the manual, brittle, regex-heavy toil of legacy tools. Why it matters: an accurate, current map of sensitive data is the prerequisite for everything else — you can finally see your real exposure, prioritise remediation, answer ‘where does our regulated data live?’ and give DLP, access governance and AI security something meaningful to act on. The value: Cyera DSPM discovers and classifies your sensitive data everywhere (agentless, AI-native, high autonomous accuracy) so you can finally see — and act on — your real data risk. TechBag helps organisations deploy Cyera to map their data. TechBag helps you see what you’re protecting.

02

The classification engine is the moat — and the whole platform runs on it

A defining strength of Cyera is the DEPTH and accuracy of its AI-native classification — and the fact that its ENTIRE platform is built on that one foundation. Why classification is everything: data security stands or falls on classification. If you mislabel data (false positives, missed sensitive data), every control downstream is wrong — noisy DLP, mis-scoped access decisions, incomplete compliance. Cyera invested in a best-of-breed, AI-native classification engine (claiming >95% autonomous accuracy) precisely because getting THIS right is what makes everything else work. What the engine does: it understands data in context (not just regex pattern-matching) — what the data is, where it came from, how sensitive it is — across structured and unstructured, cloud and on-prem, and it’s tunable to your custom types and regulatory categories (DPDPA, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI). One platform, one foundation: that same classification then powers Omni DLP (protect the data), AI Security (know what data the AI touches) and Data Access Governance (weigh the sensitivity of what an identity can reach). Why it matters: a data-first platform is only credible if its classification is genuinely good — and Cyera’s is its central bet and genuine moat. It means DLP with far less noise, access decisions that account for sensitivity, and AI security with real data context. The value: Cyera’s AI-native classification engine (best-of-breed, high autonomous accuracy, context-aware) is the moat — and because DLP, AI security and access governance all run on it, getting classification right makes the whole platform work. For data-first security, this matters. TechBag helps you validate Cyera’s classification on your data. TechBag helps you build on a solid foundation.

03

Posture you can act on — prioritised risk, not a firehose

A key practical strength of Cyera DSPM is that it turns discovery and classification into a PRIORITISED POSTURE — telling you what to fix first — rather than dumping an unusable firehose of findings. The problem it solves: a scan that lists a million ‘findings’ is worse than useless — teams can’t action it, and real risk hides in the noise. Data security needs prioritisation: which exposed data actually matters, which misplaced data is genuinely sensitive, which over-permissioned access is a real threat. What Cyera provides: by combining classification (how sensitive is it?) with access and exposure (who can reach it, how is it exposed?), Cyera produces a risk-PRIORITISED posture — the exposed, misplaced, duplicated and over-permissioned sensitive data that matters most — with remediation guidance. And because it re-discovers and re-classifies continuously, the posture stays current instead of decaying after a one-off scan. Why it matters: prioritisation is what makes DSPM operationally useful. It lets a lean team fix the highest-risk data issues first, demonstrably reduce exposure, and keep it reduced — turning ‘we have a lot of data somewhere’ into ‘here are the ten things to fix this week’. The value: Cyera DSPM delivers a prioritised, continuously-current risk posture — so you fix the sensitive-data risk that matters, not chase everything. For actionable data security, this matters. TechBag helps organisations operationalise Cyera’s posture. TechBag helps you fix what counts.

04

The India hook: DPDPA data-residency starts with classification

A strength that matters especially for Indian enterprises is that Cyera DSPM directly addresses the foundational requirement of DPDPA (India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act): knowing exactly WHERE your sensitive personal data lives, and who can access it. The problem it solves: DPDPA (and global residency rules) require organisations to protect personal data, honour data-principal rights and, in practice, understand data residency — all of which are impossible if you don’t have an accurate map of where personal data actually resides across your cloud, SaaS and on-prem estate. This is, first and foremost, a data-DISCOVERY-and-CLASSIFICATION problem. What Cyera provides: precisely that map — it discovers and classifies personal/sensitive data everywhere, tells you where it lives (residency), and maps who and what can access it — giving Indian BFSI, healthcare, IT/ITES and regulated enterprises the data foundation DPDPA compliance rests on. Why it matters: for Indian buyers, ‘where does our regulated personal data live and who can reach it?’ is fast becoming a board-level question — and Cyera answers it at the data layer. (Honest note: Cyera has no confirmed India office — it’s partner-led — so local presence and residency specifics come through the channel; TechBag helps confirm both.) The value: Cyera DSPM gives Indian enterprises the sensitive-data map — what data, where it lives, who can access it — that DPDPA compliance is built on. 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 leader — and TechBag adds honest comparison + local support

Cyera is a fast-rising, well-regarded data-security leader — and for Indian enterprises TechBag adds the honest comparison and local scoping/support that make adopting it a confident decision. Cyera the company: founded in 2021 (CEO Yotam Segev + CTO Tamar Bar-Ilan; HQ New York + Tel Aviv R&D; ~800 staff), Cyera 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. Gartner names it a Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide (2025). It’s a genuine, fast-scaling leader in AI-native data security. Where TechBag adds value — honest comparison first: Cyera is data-first, NOT a full CNAPP like Wiz (which TechBag also sells) — it PAIRS WITH Wiz, it doesn’t replace it; Varonis is deeper on on-prem/unstructured and DAG heritage (TechBag sells it); Securiti is a broader data-governance command centre (TechBag sells it). TechBag compares all of them candidly — and is precise that Cyera is a Representative Vendor in a Market Guide, not an ‘MQ Leader’ (no DSPM MQ exists). Then the local layer: Cyera is premium/quote-only, with no confirmed India office — so TechBag adds scoping, DPDPA-residency help, INR/GST invoicing and local support. The value: Cyera is a fast-rising AI-native data-security leader — and TechBag adds honest comparison (Wiz/Varonis/Securiti), DPDPA-residency scoping, INR/GST and support. TechBag supplies it with local value. TechBag provides Cyera, made local for India.

06

The honest scope

Cyera DSPM is Cyera’s flagship — an AI-native, agentless engine that discovers and classifies your sensitive data everywhere (cloud, SaaS, IaaS, on-prem) and turns it into a prioritised risk posture, with a best-of-breed classification engine (claiming >95% autonomous accuracy) that the whole platform runs on. From Cyera (founded 2021; $12B valuation, 2026; >$150M ARR; ~1 in 5 of the Fortune 500). The honest framing — strengths, and where it’s a data-first specialist not a full platform: Cyera’s strengths are best-of-breed classification, broad estate coverage, a prioritised actionable posture, and a genuinely strong AI-security story built on that data foundation. But several honest caveats matter. (1) It is DATA-first, NOT a full CNAPP. Wiz (which TechBag also sells) is the broad cloud-security platform — cloud workloads, config, vulnerabilities, identities — with DSPM bundled in. Cyera PAIRS WITH a CNAPP (deep data layer alongside broad cloud coverage); it does NOT replace one. If you want one broad cloud-security platform, that’s Wiz’s lane. (2) Varonis is deeper on ON-PREM/unstructured data and has DATA ACCESS GOVERNANCE heritage; Microsoft Purview is BUNDLED for M365 E5. (3) Cyera is YOUNG (2021) and much of its wider breadth is ACQUISITION-built — so integration maturity across modules is a fair question (the DSPM core is the most proven). (4) Precision on Gartner: there is NO DSPM Magic Quadrant — only a Market Guide, in which Cyera is a Representative Vendor (2025); ‘MQ Leader for DSPM’ would be wrong. (5) It’s premium, quote-only. So the honest positioning: for best-of-breed, AI-native DATA discovery and classification — the strongest data-layer foundation, and a leading AI-security story — Cyera is excellent, often the best data-first choice; for a broad cloud-security CNAPP, Wiz (pair them); for on-prem/unstructured + DAG heritage, Varonis; for the widest data-governance/privacy breadth, Securiti. Many enterprises run Cyera FOR the data layer alongside Wiz’s CNAPP. TechBag scopes Cyera honestly — comparing vs Wiz, Varonis and Securiti, stating the Gartner position accurately, and licensing and supporting it locally with GST (the DPDPA-residency hook).

Cyera DSPM vs the data-security field

Wiz, Varonis, Microsoft Purview, BigID and Securiti — honest lanes; the edge is best-of-breed, AI-native classification + the strongest AI-security story. Need a full cloud CNAPP? Wiz (TechBag sells it; often pair them). On-prem/DAG? Varonis. And precisely: Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide, NOT an MQ Leader (no DSPM MQ exists).

The 8 questions to ask every vendor

Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.

1
Data visibility

Do you actually know where all your sensitive data lives? Cyera discovers & classifies it agentlessly across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem.

2
Classification

Is your classification accurate, or brittle regex? Cyera is AI-native (claims >95% autonomous) — the foundation everything else runs on.

3
Prioritised risk

Getting a firehose of findings? Cyera delivers a prioritised, continuously-current posture — fix what matters first.

4
Data-first vs CNAPP

Need full cloud security too? Cyera is data-first — Wiz is the CNAPP (TechBag sells both; often pair them, don’t replace).

5
On-prem / DAG

Risk centred on on-prem/unstructured + access governance? Varonis has that heritage (TechBag sells it) — TechBag advises honestly.

6
The Gartner question

Heard ‘Gartner Leader’? Be precise: Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide (2025). There is NO DSPM Magic Quadrant.

7
DPDPA residency

Need to know where personal data lives for DPDPA? Cyera answers it at the data layer — TechBag scopes residency & adds GST.

8
Licensing

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

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Cyera DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) is Cyera’s flagship — an AI-native engine that autonomously DISCOVERS and CLASSIFIES your sensitive data everywhere it lives (cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem), then surfaces the RISK so you can act on it. It solves the foundational data-security problem: you can’t protect what you can’t see. Cyera’s answer is a best-of-breed, AGENTLESS classification engine (it claims >95% autonomous classification accuracy) that finds sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, IP), classifies it by type and sensitivity, maps who and what can access it, and prioritises the risk — exposed, misplaced, duplicated or over-permissioned data. That classification is Cyera’s moat: Omni DLP, AI Security and Data Access Governance all run off it. Cyera the company (founded 2021; CEO Yotam Segev + CTO Tamar Bar-Ilan; NYC + Tel Aviv) is fast-rising — a $600M Series G in June 2026 valued it at $12B, it has >$150M ARR, and ~1 in 5 of the Fortune 500 are customers. Honest note: Cyera is young and data-first (NOT a full CNAPP like Wiz — it pairs, doesn’t replace); Varonis is deeper on-prem/DAG; Purview is E5-bundled. And precisely: Cyera is NOT a ‘Gartner MQ Leader for DSPM’ — there is no DSPM Magic Quadrant, only a Market Guide (Cyera is a Representative Vendor, 2025). TechBag scopes it and supports it in INR/GST.

Ready to see where your sensitive data lives?

Scope Cyera DSPM (AI-native, agentless discovery & classification that maps your sensitive data everywhere and turns it into prioritised risk) — and let a TechBag advisor scope the estate, run a proof-of-value to validate classification on YOUR data, compare honestly vs Wiz/Varonis/Securiti, and add DPDPA-residency help, INR/GST and local support.
