Cyera is now positioned as one of the most valuable privately held security companies in the world with total funding of more than US$2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur customers are some of the most sophisticated companies in the world. The one thing they all share is the urgency to lead AI transformation at a scale and speed the world has never seen. Trust is what makes that possible &#8211; knowing what your AI can see and do,\u201d said Yotam Segev, co-founder and CEO, Cyera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s the infrastructure layer the industry has been missing, and it&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been building alongside our customers since day one. Cyera is that trust layer, and this funding is fuel to build it faster for every company trying to win in today\u2019s agentic era.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a world where data is the fuel for innovation, Cyera helps provide us with visibility and context to enable secure AI at scale,\u201d said Rich Baich, CISO, AT&amp;T. \u201cIt helps us accelerate AI adoption by knowing and controlling what AI can see and do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyera&#8217;s growth reflects the urgency of the market it is leading, tripling ARR three years in a row. In the last 18 months, Cyera has grown to more than 1,500 employees across 18 countries and completed five acquisitions, most recently Ryft and Genie, adding specialised technology that deepens the platform&#8217;s ability to govern AI at enterprise scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver 25 years of investing in cybersecurity, it has been our experience that the companies that define infrastructure possess the depth and capabilities that solve problems competitors simply cannot,\u201d said Richard Seewald, Founder and Managing Partner, Evolution Equity Partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCyera has done that &#8211; built the layer that informs enterprises what their AI can see, learn from and act on, at scale with precision. We are thrilled to back Cyera on this exciting journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe backed Cyera before the thesis was obvious and watched them navigate more market transformations in five years than most companies see in a decade. Now the world has caught up,\u201d said Lior Simon, General Partner, Cyberstarts. \u201cEvery enterprise deploying AI at scale is running into the same wall &#8211; they can&#8217;t trust what their AI can see and do, and without solving that, they&#8217;re taking on risk that could define or even destroy their organisation. Cyera is the only company built to solve that with the depth and scale the world&#8217;s largest enterprises require.
