WASHINGTON, 8 January 2026 — Data security firm Cyera said it has raised US$400 million in a late-stage funding round, lifting its valuation to US$9 billion, as demand surges for AI-driven tools that help enterprises protect sensitive data.
The latest valuation marks a sharp increase over the past year. Cyera was valued at US$3 billion in November 2024, before rising to US$6 billion in its previous funding round in June, when it raised US$540 million.
The Series F round was led by funds managed by Blackstone, bringing Cyera’s total capital raised to more than US$1.7 billion, the company said.
Existing investors, including Accel, Coatue, and Lightspeed Venture Partners, also participated in the round.
The rapidly rising valuation reflects strong investor appetite for data security companies, as enterprises expand their use of generative AI while facing escalating cybersecurity risks. A wave of cyberattacks resulting in data leaks and financial losses globally has further driven demand for advanced digital protection services.
Cyera develops software that enables organisations to find, classify and secure sensitive data across both cloud-based and on-premise systems, helping them monitor risks and comply with regulatory requirements.
The company said proceeds from the latest funding round will be used to accelerate product development, support global expansion, and deepen strategic partnerships.
