Why leading CISOs choose Cyera for hybrid data security

Instant data discovery with zero operational complexity

Deploy instantly without connectors and get a full data inventory at any scale. Forget complicated setups and endless maintenance. Reduce overhead, cut costs, and focus on minimizing risk from day one.

AI-native classification for proprietary and sensitive data

AI-native classification uncovers sensitive and proprietary data that legacy tools miss. See your entire data estate, cut false positives, and group raw data into business-aligned topics. Link data to owners for quicker, more confident decisions.

Unified data, identity, and access intelligence

Map every asset to every identity, whether human, non-human, or agent. See not just who can access data but who actually did. Apply recommended policies to strengthen controls and drive compliance.

Prioritize high-impact risks with AI severity scoring

AI-powered severity scoring connects sensitivity, identity, exposure, and organizational context to spotlight what matters most. Your team can focus on the highest-impact risks, not just alerts.

FAQs

How does Cyera’s deployment speed compare to traditional DSPM solutions?

Cyera offers a significantly faster time-to-value, with deployment taking only minutes. Unlike legacy solutions that often require weeks of hardware setup and manual configuration, Cyera provides actionable insights within 48 to 72 hours through both agentless and connector-based deployment options.

What makes Cyera’s data classification more precise than legacy tools?

In addition to traditional methods where appropriate, Cyera uses a combination of LLMs and advanced analytics to achieves over 95% classification precision. These methods not only classify traditional sensitive regulatory data but also business-specific proprietary information and IP in unstructured files. This breadth and precision allow organizations to discover up to 40% more sensitive data while drastically reducing the operational burden of false positives.

Can Cyera handle data security at enterprise scale for hybrid environments?

Yes. Cyera’s architecture is designed to handle structured and unstructured data at multi-petabyte scale across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid systems. Unlike legacy tools that rely on slow full scans that could take months or years, Cyera maintains continuous visibility without causing system performance degredations.

What on-premises systems and databases does Cyera support?

Cyera provides deep visibility across a wide range of on-premises systems, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MongoDB, IBM DB2, NetApp storage, and Windows file shares (SMB). It also supports high-scale environments like Dell PowerScale (Isilon).

How does Cyera unify data, identity, and access intelligence?

Cyera maps every data asset and activity to specific human, non-human, and AI agent identities. This provides an enriched view of security posture: identifying what the data is, who has access to it, and—most importantly—who is actually using it, enabling effective entitlement management, risk prioritization, and remediation at scale.

“Cyera is one of those tools that almost instantaneously you can see the value. we were able to save money on storage by reducing and removing billions of records from our infrastructure.”

Pete Chronis

Former CISO at Paramount

“We configured everything in one day. then it took about two days for scanning. By the end of the scanning, we already analyzed and classified all data.”

Dmytro Shamenko

Head of Infrastructure, Carmoola

“The magic of Cyera is the data discovery component, and there's always a light bulb moment of not really understanding how much data you actually have, and then being able to have it at your fingertips so that you can action against it.”
