Securing the foundations of AI

Cyera Research studies how AI systems and agents access, use, and expose sensitive data. We uncover emerging attack paths, identify key trends, and share actionable insights so teams can securely deploy AI at enterprise scale.

( how we do it )

The research behind secure AI adoption

01   Break It

Vulnerability Research

Graph with dashed vertical and horizontal axes crossing at the origin, showing several dark lines radiating from the center, each with one or two dark dots placed along them at varying distances from the origin.
We study how security fails when AI, data, and identities intersect, from intent drift to unauthorized access and code execution. 
All Insights
02   Measure It

Data Labs

Three concentric circles with the outermost solid and the two inner dashed, each with a dark dot on the perimeter representing orbiting points.
We analyze patterns across thousands of companies to understand how humans and agents access, use, and expose data differently.
All Reports
03   Unpack It

Threat Intelligence

Wireframe illustration of two nested cubes sharing vertices, with solid and dashed lines showing edges and depth.
We reconstruct high profile attacks to trace how identities are abused, access expands, and data moves — and what it means for security teams.
