Cyera raises $400 million from Goldman Sachs, bringing 2026 funding to $1.4 billion
The latest investment extends Cyera’s Series G and comes as the Israeli cybersecurity company expands from data security into AI agents and non-human identities, with a valuation of more than $12 billion.
Israeli cybersecurity company Cyera has raised another $400 million, this time from Goldman Sachs Alternatives, as the company seeks to build a security layer around the growing use of autonomous AI agents inside large enterprises.
The investment is an extension of Cyera’s Series G, which was led by Evolution Equity Partners. It comes only three months after the company raised $600 million at a $12 billion valuation, bringing the total capital raised by Cyera to more than $2 billion.
The latest investment does not represent another new valuation for the company, which says it is currently valued at more than $12 billion. Instead, it underscores the growing investor interest in the security problems emerging as companies move beyond using AI as a tool for employees and begin deploying software agents that can act on their own.
Those agents can use corporate identities, call software tools, query databases and access sensitive information without a person approving every individual action. That creates a problem for security systems that were largely designed around human employees and conventional applications.
Cyera is attempting to address that gap by bringing together two areas that have traditionally been managed separately: understanding where sensitive data is located and controlling which people, machines and software have access to it.
“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, Cyera’s cofounder and CEO. “AI infrastructure is moving faster than the security architecture around it. This investment accelerates our work to bring data and identity together, so enterprises can give agents access with confidence and keep that access aligned with business intent.”
The company said the new capital will fund development of its AI security products, as well as expansion in the U.S. federal market and further growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
Cyera has been expanding beyond its original focus on data security. Its Agent Guardian and Cyera Endpoint products are designed to track the behavior of AI agents, including the tool calls and database queries that take place between an agent receiving a prompt and producing a response.
The company has also sought to add control over the identities used by software rather than people. Its acquisition of Oasis Security brought non-human identity management into the platform, allowing Cyera to connect information about sensitive data with information about which identities can access it.
The company was founded in 2021 by Segev and CTO Tamar Bar-Ilan. Its valuation has risen rapidly. Cyera was valued at $3 billion in 2024 and $6 billion in 2025 before reaching $9 billion in January 2026 and $12 billion in June.
The pace of fundraising has been similarly striking. Cyera raised $400 million in January and another $600 million in June, before the latest $400 million investment from Goldman Sachs. The company has raised more than $2 billion in total funding and has expanded to more than 1,500 employees across 18 countries.
Goldman Sachs said the investment reflects its view that securing AI will become a major enterprise technology category as the number of autonomous agents grows.
“Securing AI will be one of the defining categories in enterprise technology over the next decade,” said Irit Kahan, a managing director in Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. She said the gap between what AI agents are trusted to do and what they can actually access is becoming increasingly significant.
