Israeli data security startup Cyera secured a $400 million Series F round led by Blackstone Growth, valuing the company at $9 billion just seven months after its previous $540 million round at a $6 billion valuation.
Cyera, an Israeli data security platform specializing in cloud-native data protection, raised $400 million in Series F funding led by Blackstone Growth. The round values the company at $9 billion, marking a 50% increase from its $6 billion valuation in June 2025 when it secured $540 million.
Founded by Yotam Segev and Tamar Bar-Ilan, Cyera develops AI-powered tools that automatically discover and classify sensitive data across cloud environments, helping enterprises manage security posture and compliance. The rapid valuation increase reflects heightened enterprise demand for data security solutions as cloud migration accelerates and regulatory pressures mount.
Blackstone Growth's lead investment signals continued institutional interest in cybersecurity infrastructure, though the valuation surge warrants scrutiny. Cyera operates in a competitive landscape against established players like Palo Alto Networks and Varonis, requiring demonstrable differentiation beyond automated data mapping. The company hasn't disclosed specific customer growth metrics or product adoption rates since its last funding round.
Cyera plans to allocate the new capital toward expanding its AI detection capabilities and go-to-market operations. The funding comes amid increased venture activity in data security, with competitors including Laminar and Symmetry Systems raising significant rounds in 2025.
