The company, at a glance
Quick answer
Four intel pages. One integrated platform.
The complete Cyera platform — every linked card is a full intel page, from the DSPM classification flagship to AI & AI-agent security.
DSPM
See & classify data everywhere.
Agentless AI discovery and classification of sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem; all other Cyera tools run on it.
Omni DLP
Stop data loss, less noise.
AI-native DLP from the Trail Security acquisition (Oct 2024, $162M), using Cyera’s DSPM classification to cut false-positive noise.
AI Security
Secure the AI, and the agents.
AI Guardian finds shadow AI and inspects prompts; Agent Guardian secures agent tool calls, backed by Oasis Security (~$1B, Jul 2026).
Data Access Governance
Right-size access — human & non-human.
Maps human and non-human identities to sensitive data and right-sizes over-permissioned access, powered by Otterize (eBPF) and Oasis.
One classification engine
Platform & engineCyera’s AI-native, agentless data classification engine, which powers DSPM, Omni DLP, AI Security and Data Access Governance alike.
Breadth built by acquisition
Platform & engineCyera grew by acquisition, Trail Security and Oasis Security among them; check how well the modules integrate, as DSPM is most proven.

Why “AI-native classification” is the whole story
Most organisations don’t know where their sensitive data actually lives, and you can’t protect what you can’t see. Cyera bet on AI-native, agentless discovery and classification as the data-first foundation — the layer its DLP, AI security and access governance all run on.
AI Data Classification
An agentless, AI-native engine that discovers and classifies sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, IaaS and on-prem; Cyera claims >95% autonomous accuracy. The moat.
DSPM — Posture & Risk
Surface exposed, misplaced or over-permissioned data. Cyera is a Gartner Representative Vendor in the DSPM Market Guide (2025); no DSPM Magic Quadrant exists.
Protect the Data (Omni DLP)
Omni DLP, from the Trail acquisition, protects data in motion, at rest and in use, and uses DSPM context to cut the false positives that bury legacy DLP.
Secure the AI & the Agents
AI Guardian finds shadow AI and protects prompts and responses; Agent Guardian governs each agent tool call and query using Oasis non-human identity. The newest area.

Every term on these pages, in one place- Cyera
- AI-native data security: finding, classifying and protecting sensitive data, including in AI flows.
- DSPM
- Data Security Posture Management: continuously discover, classify and risk-assess sensitive data.
- AI data classification
- Cyera’s moat: an agentless engine that classifies sensitive data autonomously (it claims >95% accuracy).
- Omni DLP
- Cyera’s DLP from the Trail Security acquisition (Oct 2024, $162M), quieter thanks to DSPM context.
- AI Guardian (AI-SPM)
- Cyera’s AI-SPM: discovers shadow AI and inspects prompts and responses for sensitive-data leakage.
- Agent Guardian
- Cyera’s control over every tool call and query an AI agent makes, using Oasis non-human identity.
- Data Access Governance (DAG)
- Who, human or non-human, can reach which sensitive data, right-sized; powered by Otterize and Oasis.
- Non-human identity (NHI)
- Service accounts, tokens, keys and AI agents; Cyera’s Oasis buy (~$1B, Jul 2026) targets them.
- CNAPP
- The broad cloud-security category Wiz leads. Cyera is data-first, not a CNAPP, and pairs with Wiz.
- Representative Vendor
- Gartner’s label in a Market Guide; Cyera is one for DSPM (2025). There is no DSPM MQ.
- Acquisition-built breadth
- Cyera bought Trail, Otterize, Shape AI and Oasis, raising integration questions; DSPM is most proven.
- The India hook
- Cyera has no confirmed India office, but DPDPA data-residency is the sharpest reason to adopt it.
Buy it like you’ve done this before
The procurement playbook TechBag runs with IT buyers — steps, licensing cheat-sheet, and the pitfalls that cost quarters.
Scope (& the data-first vs CNAPP fit)
Your data estate and priorities set the scope. TechBag is candid that Cyera pairs with Wiz’s CNAPP, and compares Varonis and Securiti.
Start with DSPM (see your data)
Connect Cyera’s agentless engine to discover and classify sensitive data, giving a prioritised map of exposure and over-permissioned access.
Turn understanding into control
Add Omni DLP, AI Security and Data Access Governance off the same classification, and validate the acquisition-built modules as you go.
Secure the AI era
As AI use grows, turn on AI Guardian for shadow AI and prompts, and Agent Guardian to govern what agents do via Oasis non-human identity.
Compare honestly
Want a full CNAPP? Wiz, paired not replaced. Deep on-prem and DAG heritage? Varonis. A broad data command centre? Securiti (Veeam-owned).
Buy through the channel
Cyera is premium and quote-only; TechBag adds scoping, DPDPA data-residency help and INR/GST invoicing with local support.
The licensing cheat-sheet
| Product | Licensing model | How you enter | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| DSPM | By quote (data estate / assets) | AI discovery & classification; posture & risk | See & classify data everywhere |
| Omni DLP | By quote / add-on | Data in motion, at rest, in use; DSPM-context | Stop data loss, less noise |
| AI Security | By quote (new) | AI Guardian (AI-SPM+runtime) + Agent Guardian | Secure AI usage & AI agents |
| Data Access Governance | By quote / add-on | Human + non-human access mapping & right-sizing | Least-privilege to sensitive data |
Quote-only: DSPM sized by the data estate, with DLP, AI Security and access governance quoted as add-ons — TechBag models the mix for your size and quotes in INR with GST.
Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters
Expecting a full cloud-security platform (it’s data-first)
Cyera is best-of-breed at data security but is not a full CNAPP like Wiz. It pairs with a CNAPP rather than replacing it; for workload and config security, that is Wiz’s lane.
Reading ‘Gartner’ as an MQ Leadership claim
No Gartner Magic Quadrant for DSPM exists, only a Market Guide naming Cyera a Representative Vendor (2025). ‘MQ Leader for DSPM’ is simply wrong; state it precisely.
Underweighting the ‘young + acquisition-built’ integration question
Cyera was founded in 2021 and built much of its breadth by acquisition (Trail, Otterize, Shape AI, Oasis). The DSPM core is the most proven; test how well newer modules fit together.
Treating AI Security / Agent Guardian as fully mature
AI-SPM, AI-runtime and AI-agent security are emerging categories with focused specialists. Cyera’s AI Guardian and Agent Guardian are new: pilot them with oversight.
Missing the DPDPA data-residency hook (and no India office)
Cyera has no confirmed India office; presence is via partners. Its classification shows where sensitive data lives, the core of DPDPA residency; confirm residency specifics.

Category momentum — estimated market growth
Illustrative CAGR synthesis**Directionally consistent with public analyst forecasts; verify exact figures before quoting. The takeaway: AI security and non-human identity compound fastest — exactly where Cyera (AI Guardian, Agent Guardian, the Oasis buy) is placed.
AI-native DSPM (data-first security)
The big shift in data security: AI-native DSPM that discovers and classifies sensitive data everywhere.
What it means for you
A data-first DSPM (Gartner Representative Vendor, 2025) whose classification is the moat.
Securing AI usage & AI agents
As AI and AI agents spread, enterprises must find shadow AI, protect the AI runtime and secure what agents do.
What it means for you
Cyera’s AI Guardian and Agent Guardian bring data-classification context to AI security.
Non-human identity (NHI)
Service accounts, tokens, keys and AI agents outnumber humans and are an under-governed path to sensitive data.
What it means for you
Cyera’s Oasis buy (~$1B, Jul 2026) governs non-human identity and agentic access to data.
DLP reborn on classification (less noise)
Legacy DLP drowned teams in false positives because it lacked data context — the new wave rebuilds DLP on accurate classification.
What it means for you
Cyera’s Omni DLP runs on DSPM classification, with far less of the noise of legacy DLP.
Data security posture over data at rest only
Buyers want continuous posture (exposure, misplacement, over-permissioned access), not a one-off scan.
What it means for you
Cyera’s DSPM ranks data risk and feeds DLP, AI security and access governance.
Data residency & DPDPA (India)
DPDPA and global residency rules make knowing where sensitive data lives foundational: a classification problem.
What it means for you
Cyera pinpoints where sensitive data resides, the India hook; INR/GST via TechBag.
