In today’s digital landscape, data security challenges continue to grow at an alarming rate. Cyera has emerged as a significant player in this space, attracting $400 million in investment for its AI-native unified data security platform. This platform aims to address the growing chaos of data management across enterprises.
Cyera’s approach is unique because AI isn’t just an add-on feature—it’s the core engine powering the entire system. The platform combines several security functions into one integrated solution: Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), identity access controls, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP). This unified approach helps companies see their entire data ecosystem in one place.
What sets Cyera apart is its agentless deployment model. Companies can scan and onboard their data systems within minutes, whether they’re using cloud services, SaaS applications, databases, or hybrid environments. The system can handle petabyte-scale data loads, which is essential for large enterprises with rapidly growing data across multiple locations.
The platform’s AI classification system achieves over 95% precision when identifying sensitive data types. It continuously maps all data assets, creating what Cyera calls a dynamic “dataverse.” This mapping helps identify personal information, health data, financial records, and intellectual property with high accuracy and contextual understanding.
For identity management, Cyera connects both human and machine identities to the specific data they access. This reveals risky patterns and detects problems like unused accounts that still have access to sensitive information. The system also extends to AI identities, tracking how AI agents interact with sensitive data.
Cyera’s DLP features monitor data movements in real-time, using contextual awareness to reduce false alarms. The system provides continuous discovery of data across all environments, ensuring that new information sources are automatically detected and secured. The platform can block unauthorized transfers and risky sharing attempts as they happen. It also includes specific features for AI security, automatically finding all AI applications in use across an organization, including “shadow AI” that IT departments might not know about. The solution offers full visibility into both embedded AI in SaaS applications and homegrown models that might otherwise escape detection.
For enterprises drowning in data complexity, Cyera’s platform represents an all-encompassing approach to bringing order to data chaos.
