Cyera
Cyera is a Data Security & DSPM company founded in 2021 and based in New York, United States. It has raised $1.7B in total funding, most recently a Series F in 2026 at a $9B valuation.
Cyera, founded in 2021 by Yotam Segev (CEO) and Tamar Bar-Ilan (CTO), both alumni of the Israeli military's Talpiot and Unit 8200 programs, builds an AI-powered data security platform that discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data wherever it resides across cloud and SaaS. The company has scaled rapidly through one of cybersecurity's steepest funding ramps: in January 2026 it announced a $400M Series F led by Blackstone that valued it at $9 billion and brought total funding to over $1.7 billion, with backers including Accel, Coatue, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, Lightspeed, Sequoia, and Sapphire. Cyera is dual-headquartered with a strong New York presence and Israeli engineering roots.
Cyera is among the fastest-growing data-security startups and a leading independent pure-play in the AI-driven DSPM category.
