Introducing AI Guardian to Secure AI at The Source

Today is August 4th, the day that the Data and AI security space has officially changed.

We at Cyera unveiled AI Guardian, the first complete AI security solution to secure all the AI tools being used within your enterprise. This suite of AI security products, designed to help enterprises accelerate secure AI adoption, is grounded in a data-centric approach that’s now become synonymous with who we are here at the company. With this launch, we’re not just only extending our platform - we’re uniting Data and AI Security.

The time is now.

AI is evolving from isolated experiments into core enterprise infrastructure. From public AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek, to embedded AI such as Microsoft Copilot and Google Workspace’s Gemini, and even custom or blended solutions powered by proprietary LLMs or platforms like AWS Bedrock - the AI revolution is no longer coming, it’s here.

According to Forrester, 61% of organizations are already using GenAI or predictive AI, yet 23% have seen a rise in AI-related cyberattacks. That’s not a coincidence*. The scale of innovation has outpaced the controls traditionally used to secure it (it kind of reminds me of the early public cloud adoption days - only faster). 

In case you are wondering what the top three AI security concerns that we are hearing from customers the most are, look no further.

1. Unsanctioned AI
2. Securing Prompts & Responses 
3. Agentic AI security

And while many vendors have rushed to offer fragmented tools to the market - policies here, blocklists there - what’s been missing is a unified platform that understands what truly powers AI: data. Cyera is that platform. It is the only platform that can secure public, SaaS and homegrown AI solutions, largely due to our architecture footprint in cloud, SaaS, and unified platform that consists of both DSPM (which helps understand data) and Omni DLP (which helps protect data) as well.

At Cyera, we’ve always believed that data is the new control plane. AI Guardian builds on this foundation to secure AI by securing the data that fuels it - wherever that data lives or flows, and whether it is at rest, or in motion.

‍AI Guardian was designed with customers, for customers

AI Guardian brings two groundbreaking capabilities to market:

• Cyera AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM): Here Cyera auto-discovers the AI tools (public, SaaS, homegrown, and shadow AI - within the customer environment. Leveraging Cyera’s deep understanding of customer data, the security team can see the full data context, and know what data is being used within each AI tool. Then govern access, with precision, with Cyera’s ability to know all human, machine, and agentic identities accessing AI, and the customer’s data.

‍

• Cyera AI Runtime Protection: Here, Cyera monitors every prompt & action through logging and searching all prompts, responses and agent actions. Cyera detects abuse and policy drift to catch misuse, prompt injection, and data leakage - with clear context & severity scoring. Cyera then stops unauthorized access in real-time, blocking out of policy prompts & responses, and stopping dangerous agent actions.

Together, they create a loop of awareness and enforcement, working alongside Cyera’s DSPM and Cyera Omni DLP products to deliver full-stack protection across both data and AI.

A New Way Forward: Data and AI Security

Enterprises don’t need another bolt-on point solution. They need a way to adopt AI responsibly-with clarity, confidence, and control. That’s why we’re not just shipping a product; we’re catalyzing a new market: Data and AI Security.

This new category recognizes that AI and data are inseparable - and that protecting one without the other is incomplete. It demands solutions that go beyond model monitoring to understand how AI systems interact with sensitive data, across cloud, SaaS, and homegrown environments.

At Cyera, we’re building for this future, because enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between velocity and vigilance. And we’re here to give them both.
