About Cyera

Cyera sells a unified platform to know, secure, and govern all data, identities, and AI agents in real-time. Cyera governs every machine and agent identity and what it can reach. Cyera Agent Guardian secures the AI agents an organization uses by governing what they can access and do. Cy Agents are AI agents that Cyera provides to help a security team find, triage, investigate, and remediate data risk.[12][14]

AI Guardian is Cyera's unified AI security and AI governance solution. Cyera AI-SPM, short for AI Security Posture Management, is a capability within AI Guardian that automatically discovers, inventories, and governs all AI assets across an enterprise. Cyera AI-SPM automatically discovers, classifies, and inventories AI assets, including copilots, agents, and web apps. AI-SPM is the posture layer that discovers, inventories, and governs AI assets and their data access at rest, including copilot security for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce AgentForce, and GitHub Copilot. AI-SPM currently discovers and inventories AI assets across Amazon Bedrock Agents, Salesforce AgentForce Agents, Azure AI Foundry Agents, and M365 Entra ID. AI-SPM works in tandem with Cyera DSPM to provide visibility, and AI Runtime Protection extends Cyera Omni DLP to provide real-time data leakage prevention.[15][16][18]

Cyera AI Runtime Protection is the enforcement layer within AI Guardian that monitors and defends AI systems in real time. Omni DLP covers data leakage prevention across all channels, Browser Shield covers prompt-level security at the browser, and AI Firewall covers API-level AI governance of custom AI applications. Omni DLP is the AI brain for an organization's existing DLP stack. Omni DLP connects to existing DLP providers via API. Browser Shield is a browser extension that protects sensitive data when employees interact with public AI tools. AI Firewall provides real-time AI governance for custom or homegrown AI applications, including internal chatbots, autonomous agents, and agentic AI workflows built on Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, or Snowflake Cortex AI. AI Firewall requires a single API integration in application code.[15]

Cyera classifies data across all major cloud providers, SaaS applications, databases, and on-prem file systems, including AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. Cyera's platform enables on-demand classification with natural language prompts and creates AI models without needing a rescan. Cyera automatically scans cloud and on-prem data stores using agentless discovery and AI-powered classification. Cyera maps data assets to organizational and regulatory retention requirements, flags violations, and recommends defensible deletion actions. Cyera automatically recognizes non-production datastores and identifies when they contain sensitive production data such as customer, patient, or employee records.[17][19][20]

Cyera uses an AI-powered classification engine to identify personal data across structured and unstructured systems. Cyera connects with more than 2,400 enterprise applications, data platforms, and internal systems. Cyera offers a customizable Privacy Request Center with forms tailored by geography and language and built-in identity checks. Cyera automates access, deletion, and opt out workflows.[18][21]

Ask Cy turns natural-language requests into working output inside the Cyera platform: answers, reports, and dashboards. Cy connects DSPM, DLP, identity, and AI security context in a single answer. Cy runs on enterprise-grade LLMs that are not trained or fine-tuned on customer data. Cy Agents are six specialized agents built into the Cyera platform: Cy Learn, Cy Detect, Cy Triage, Cy Investigate, Cy Remediate, and Cy Assist. Cy Triage analyzes DLP and AI alerts using data and business context. Cy Detect connects data, access, and business context to reveal material exposure and critical attack paths.[14][22]

Cyera Access Trail correlates AI activity to identity, data sensitivity, and business context. Data Lineage maps sensitive files end-to-end across AI workflows. AI Employee Security is a solution for seeing how employees use AI, protecting sensitive data at the moment of interaction, and catching insider risk before it spreads. Cyera uses agentless, API-based integrations that require no changes to AI infrastructure. Cyera's breach readiness work assesses a targeted set of incident-response-centric controls against frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, and COBIT.[3][12][15][16][18][23]
