Cyberstarts is preparing to invest approximately US$300 million in cybersecurity company Cyera. The investment is part of a funding round expected to total roughly US$800 million. The round would value Cyera at about US$20 billion.
Funding history
Cyera raised US$600 million in June 2026 at a US$12 billion valuation. Evolution Equity Partners led that round, and Cyberstarts participated. Goldman Sachs Alternatives added a US$400 million extension in September 2026.
Founder and investor ties
Cyera was founded in 2021 by Yotam Segev, Tamar Bar-Ilan, and Yonatan Itai. The founders are Talpiot program graduates and veterans of Unit 8200. Cyberstarts wrote Cyera's first seed check of US$4.2 million at a US$15 million valuation.
What Cyera does
Cyera's platform scans cloud storage, databases, and enterprise systems to locate and classify sensitive data. It monitors data use and potential exposure. The technology now also tracks AI agents and the tools and databases they query.
Since 2024, Cyera has completed six acquisitions with a combined estimated value of about US$1.35 billion. The largest was Oasis Security, a non-human identity management company, valued at about US$1 billion. The acquisitions have broadened the company's platform into data loss prevention, identity management, and AI system protection.
