Cyera, a New York-based data security company that Israeli outlets Globes and CTech describe as Israeli, announced on 10 June 2026 that it had raised $600m at a valuation of $12bn.
Evolution Equity Partners led the round. Cyberstarts and Temasek also took part, alongside existing investors including Accel, AT&T Ventures, Blackstone, Coatue and Spark Capital. Cyera did not name the round in its release, though its web address refers to a Series G.
The company said its valuation had quadrupled over the previous 18 months. Globes reported that Cyera had raised $400m at a $9bn valuation in January 2026, so the new price came about five months after the last one.
“Trust is what makes that possible - knowing what your AI can see and do,”Yotam Segev, Co-founder and CEO, Cyera
What Cyera does
Cyera was founded in 2021 by Yotam Segev, its chief executive, and Tamar Bar-Ilan, its chief technology officer, according to CTech. Its software finds and classifies sensitive records across a company's data, whether stored, moving or in use, and enforces access controls over it without changing existing workflows.
The company now presents that product as a control layer for corporate AI, governing what AI tools and software agents can see and do. Over the past year it said it shipped more than 100 new features across data security posture management, data loss prevention, privacy, identity and security for AI agents. It claims more than 95% precision in classifying data.
Customers named in the announcement include Paramount, Chipotle and Valvoline. Rich Baich, AT&T's chief information security officer, said in the release that Cyera helped the telecoms group adopt AI faster by controlling what AI could see and do.
Growth and acquisitions
Cyera did not disclose revenue but said annual recurring revenue had tripled in each of the past three years. It said it had grown to more than 1,500 employees in 18 countries over the past 18 months.
In the same period it completed five acquisitions, most recently Ryft and Genie, which it said added technology for governing AI at enterprise scale.
Segev said the new money would let the company build its platform faster. Richard Seewald, founder and managing partner of Evolution Equity Partners, said Cyera had built the layer that tells enterprises what their AI can see, learn from and act on.
The funding so far
The press release said total funding was over $2bn, while the company's boilerplate and Globes put the figure at $2.3bn. Backers named in the boilerplate also include Georgian, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
CTech reported that Cyera was valued at $3bn in 2024 and $6bn in 2025 before the $9bn mark in January 2026. Globes described the company as the second most valuable privately held Israeli technology company after VAST Data.
Lior Simon, a general partner at Cyberstarts, said the firm had backed Cyera before its thesis was obvious, and that every enterprise deploying AI at scale was running into the problem of not being able to trust what its AI could see and do.
