Cyera, a data security company, has launched AI Guardian, a comprehensive solution designed to secure various types of artificial intelligence (AI) systems by monitoring the data they interact with, both at rest and in motion. This new offering expands Cyera’s platform to address the growing security and operational risks enterprises face as they scale AI initiatives.
AI Guardian is anchored by two core products: AI-SPM and AI Runtime Protection. AI-SPM provides granular inventory of AI assets, while AI Runtime Protection monitors and responds to AI data risks in real-time. This launch comes as enterprises rapidly expand their AI adoption, with Forrester reporting that 61% of enterprises use generative AI or a combination of generative and predictive AI. The same report indicates that in the last 12 months, 23% of enterprises experienced an increase in AI-based cyberattacks, and 20% had innovation halted or slowed due to unforeseen AI risks.
“Data is the heart and soul of AI—secure it, and enterprises can keep pushing boundaries without losing control or risking exposure,” stated Yotam Segev, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyera. “That’s why we built AI Guardian on the same principles as our Data Security Platform – we’re going beyond surface level visibility and the basic question of ‘what AI is being used’ to uncovering who has access and what data is being used. With this level of protection every business can move AI forward with clarity, confidence, and control.”
AI-SPM and AI Runtime Protection integrate with Cyera’s existing DSPM and OmniDLP products, respectively, to provide enterprises with comprehensive visibility into their AI risks. The solution offers broad coverage across public AI systems (e.g., ChatGPT), embedded SaaS AI (e.g., Microsoft Copilot), and homegrown models (e.g., LLMs built on Amazon Bedrock). It provides deep visibility into sensitive data accessed by AI models, users, applications, or agents, alongside real-time detection and response capabilities to automatically identify and block prompt injection, data misuse, and unauthorized access. Additionally, AI Guardian supports proactive compliance readiness by aligning with regulations such as the EU AI Act and US executive orders through policy enforcement and auditability.
Alongside AI Guardian, Cyera also launched Omni AI, a conversational AI tool designed to provide rapid data security insights. Omni AI analyzes enterprise data surfaces to identify remediation opportunities, suggest data minimization actions, and generate security reports using natural language prompts. AI-SPM is currently in private beta, AI Runtime Protection is available for early access, and Omni AI is accessible via private beta.
Cyera’s platform aims to provide organizations with a complete view of their data’s location, usage, and security, thereby reducing risk and maximizing data value across cloud, SaaS, databases, AI ecosystems, and on-premise environments. The company has secured over $1.3 billion in funding from investors including Accel, Coatue, Cyberstarts, Georgian, Lightspeed, and Sequoia. Recent innovations, such as Cyera’s Omni DLP, extend the platform with adaptive, AI-native data loss protection, offering real-time intelligence and contextual understanding of data movement and usage within the enterprise. The Forrester “Artificial Intelligence Market Insights, 2025” report was published on April 25, 2025.
