Cyera, an AI and data security company, has raised $400 million in a Series F funding round led by funds managed by Blackstone, pushing the company’s valuation to $9 billion and bringing total funding to more than $1.7 billion. The financing comes roughly six months after Cyera’s prior round and marks a valuation that the company says has tripled over the past year. This is a major increase from the company’s $6 billion valuation from 6 months ago.
The company is positioning the raise as a response to accelerating enterprise adoption of AI—particularly agentic AI—alongside rising concerns that safeguards and governance are lagging behind deployment speed. Cyera said the new capital will support product development, international expansion, ecosystem partnerships, and hiring as customers seek stronger visibility and control over sensitive data used across modern AI-driven environments.
Cyera reported 3.4x revenue growth and said it now secures data and AI for 20% of the Fortune 500 across sectors including financial services, retail, media and entertainment, healthcare, technology, and telecom. Over the past year, the company said it has grown to more than 1,100 employees, expanded operations to 15 countries, and deepened partnerships with Microsoft Purview, AWS, and Cohesity.
On the product side, Cyera said it was the first to combine Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and identity into a unified platform. This year, the company introduced AI Guardian, which it described as an expansion into a broader security offering built for organizations adopting AI at scale, with continuous risk detection and automated safeguards designed to protect sensitive information wherever it resides.
KEY QUOTES:
“AI is reshaping the foundations of how every organization operates, and our mission is to ensure that this transformation happens securely. Enterprises want to move quickly, but they also recognize that AI without data security and governance is a risk they cannot afford. This funding strengthens our ability to protect the world’s most sensitive information and help organizations unlock the full potential of AI with confidence. Securing AI isn’t just a technology challenge, it’s the new cornerstone of enterprise trust, and Cyera is committed to leading that shift.”

“AI is fundamentally changing the enterprise risk landscape, and data has quickly become one of the fastest-growing and least understood attack surfaces. The move toward unified data security platforms reflects how enterprises are thinking about securing sensitive information as AI adoption accelerates. An AI-native approach aligns with the need for clearer visibility and stronger governance as digital systems and data usage continue to evolve.”
Adam Fletcher, Chief Security Officer, Blackstone
“As someone responsible for safeguarding the information security strategy and digital infrastructure of a global energy company and a critical part of U.S. infrastructure, I see firsthand how foundational data security has become. Organizations need clear visibility and strong controls to protect sensitive data across increasingly complex environments. That clarity is essential to securing people, assets, and reputation, and to maintaining the trust and resilience required to operate safely and reliably, both at home and around the world.”
