Leadership Comments

“Global 2000 enterprises are telling us the same thing: they need to trust what AI agents can see and do before they can scale them,” said Yotam Segev, cofounder and CEO of Cyera. “AI infrastructure is moving faster than the security architecture around it.

“Securing AI will be one of the defining categories in enterprise technology over the next decade,” said Irit Kahan, Managing Director within Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. “Cyera was the first to bring data and identity together, and as agents multiply faster than anyone can track, the gap between what they’re trusted to do and what they can actually reach is becoming increasingly dangerous.

Market and Business Growth

Cyera's platform is used by enterprises including Paramount, Chipotle, and Valvoline.

The company has expanded its security platform from protecting enterprise data to monitoring AI agents and managing non-human identities. Its Agent Guardian and Cyera Endpoint products provide visibility into AI agent activity across cloud and endpoint environments.

What Happens Next?

Cyera plans to expand its AI Security product roadmap, deepen its presence in the federal market and continue international growth across EMEA and APAC. The company will also continue developing security capabilities for enterprises using AI agents.
