The company

From Unit 8200 to a $12B valuation in five years.

Cyera builds a data security platform (DSPM) that discovers, classifies, and protects enterprise data across cloud environments, positioning itself as the trust layer for enterprise AI adoption. Founded in 2021 by veterans of the IDF’s Unit 8200, the company is headquartered in New York with R&D in Tel Aviv, and reports passing $150 million in ARR.

The valuation path is the story: $3B (2024) → $6B (2025) → $9B (January 2026, $400M round led by Blackstone) → $12B (June 2026, $300M led by Evolution Equity Partners, with Georgian, Greenoaks, Lightspeed, Sequoia, Sapphire, Redpoint, Cyberstarts, Coatue, Accel, and Spark). Total raised: more than $2 billion. Along the way it acquired Genie Security (~$50M) and Ryft (~$100M, est.).

The GFD read: Cyera’s funding news built a DR of 70, but it ranks for just 4 keywords with 213 monthly organic visits — press momentum without search capture. At an 80x ARR multiple, every point of digital authority it doesn’t own is being claimed by competitors with a fraction of its funding. The most interesting gap in cybersecurity marketing right now.
