What is Cyera?
Cyera is an AI-native data security platform that helps enterprises discover, classify, govern, and protect sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, on-prem, and AI environments. The platform uses AI-powered classification that automatically adapts to and learns your business, delivering 95%+ precision without manual rules or ongoing tuning. Cyera provides unified data security posture management (DSPM) that continuously scans hundreds of petabytes across IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, DBaaS, and on-premise environments using an agentless architecture that deploys in minutes.
Key features include automated risk remediation with 30+ out-of-the-box actions, AI-native classification that eliminates regex blind spots, Data DNA context that enriches data with owner, location, regulations, sensitivity, PII, and business impact information, and automated prioritization with AI-driven severity scores. The platform offers auto-remediation capabilities that trigger native actions or automation workflows in platforms like Tines and Torq, one-click fix actions with built-in guardrails including previews and blast-radius insights, and auditor-ready compliance evidence generation mapped to regulatory controls.
Cyera is designed for security leaders, CISOs, SecOps professionals, and data security teams at enterprises managing large, complex data environments. It serves organizations like Paramount Pictures, Valvoline, Vector, and ACV who need to discover their data attack surface, control data use, monitor and detect risks, and quickly remediate issues. The platform is built for AI security with capabilities including Shadow AI defense (AI-SPM), AI Protect for active agent and app visibility, Access Trail for user-aware AI data access detection, and Omni DLP for real-time data loss prevention that cuts false positives by up to 95%.

Frequently asked questions about Cyera
How does Cyera help organizations adopt AI safely?
Cyera provides a trusted data foundation for AI adoption by giving teams clear visibility into what sensitive and proprietary data exists, why it matters, and how it is accessed and used, including by AI systems. This enables organizations to innovate with AI while minimizing the risk of data leakage, misuse, and compliance exposure.
Does sensitive data need to leave my environment to use Cyera?
No. Cyera can be deployed entirely within your cloud or on-prem environments so sensitive data remains in place and under your control. For teams that prefer a managed approach, Cyera also offers a secure SaaS deployment that delivers rapid time to value without compromising security controls, privacy, or classification accuracy.
Does Cyera support on-prem environments?
Yes. Cyera provides the same AI-driven classification, context, and remediation capabilities for on-prem environments as it does for cloud, SaaS, and DBaaS data stores, ensuring consistent data security across your entire dataverse.
Can Cyera scale to large, complex data environments?
Yes. Cyera is built for enterprise scale, using an agentless architecture to continuously scan and classify data across hundreds of petabytes without impacting performance. Organizations can rely on consistent results as data volumes and environments grow.
How accurate is Cyera's data classification?
Cyera uses an AI-native classification engine that adapts to each environment, identifying both common sensitive data and data unique to your business. This approach eliminates traditional blind spots and delivers 95%+ precision without manual rules or ongoing tuning.
What actions can teams take once risks are identified?
Cyera enables remediation at scale with 30+ out-of-the-box actions. Teams can revoke access, mask sensitive data, trigger predefined workflows, or route issues directly to data owners, all with the context needed to resolve risks quickly and confidently.
What makes Cyera different from traditional data security tools?
Cyera's AI-native classification automatically adapts to and learns your business, combining classification, context, identities, usage and movement into actionable intelligence. Unlike traditional classification that relies on static rules and lacks context, Cyera understands the dimensions of your data and enriches it with context, delivering 95%+ precision.
How quickly can organizations see value from Cyera?
Cyera deploys in minutes and delivers value in hours, with less than 1 day to value. Customers report seeing sensitive records within the first week, identifying riskiest items to focus on first, with rapid value realization. One customer scanned 82M+ on-prem files in under 40 days.
What compliance standards does Cyera support?
Cyera instantly generates auditor-ready evidence from continuously classified data and access trails, mapped to regulatory controls across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem data stores. The platform supports PCI DSS compliance for protecting cardholder data and supports DORA compliance. With 2,400+ integrations, it adapts to varying regional privacy laws.
How does Cyera Omni DLP differ from traditional DLP solutions?
Omni DLP is AI-native and real-time, built from the ground up to protect how data flows today across files, apps, cloud environments, and AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT. It cuts false positives by up to 95%, adds real context with Data DNA about who's using data and why, auto-builds and tunes policies that improve themselves, and unifies policies across your environment without requiring rip-and-replace of existing tools.
