New York–based data security startup Cyera has reinforced its position as one of the fastest-growing companies in the cybersecurity space, announcing a $400 million Series F funding round that values the firm at $9 billion. The latest raise comes barely six months after the company secured $540 million at a $6 billion valuation, underscoring the strong momentum behind its rapid expansion and growing market relevance.

With this new round, Cyera’s total funding has climbed beyond $1.7 billion, reflecting sustained investor confidence in its business model and growth prospects. The Series F round was led by funds managed by Blackstone, alongside continued backing from prominent existing investors such as Accel, Coatue, Lightspeed, Redpoint, Sapphire, and Sequoia, among others.

Cyera specializes in data security posture management, a solution designed to help organizations gain visibility into where sensitive data is stored across cloud environments and databases. Its platform enables companies to monitor how data is accessed and used by employees and applications, while also identifying potential security gaps that could expose them to breaches or misuse.

The company’s rise has been closely tied to the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, which has significantly increased both the volume of enterprise data and concerns around data leakage. According to Cyera, these dynamics have helped it attract roughly one-fifth of Fortune 500 companies as customers and more than triple its revenue over the past year, fueling strong investor interest and driving its latest valuation leap.
