Goldman Sachs invests $400m in Cyera
Goldman Sachs Growth invests $400 million in Israeli cybersecurity company Cyera, extending its Series C round to a total of $1 billion. The investment, announced on September 22, 2026, values Cyera at over $12 billion. CEO Yotam Segev stated the move was driven by the strategic opportunity to bring Goldman Sachs on board, not an immediate cash need. The additional capital will also enable Cyera to pursue acquisitions, including the recent $1 billion acquisition of Oasis Security.
Goldman Sachs Growth arm has invested $400 million in Israeli AI and data security company Cyera, the company announced on September 22, 2026. The investment extends Cyera's $600 million Series C round, announced in June, bringing the total round to $1 billion. Cyera is now valued at over $12 billion. CEO and co-founder Yotam Segev said the decision to raise capital was driven by the opportunity to bring Goldman Sachs on board as a strategic investor, not by an immediate need for cash. Segev told The Wall Street Journal that investor interest reflects rising demand from enterprise customers, noting Cyera recently signed its first deal with a customer paying more than $10 million annually. He tempered the growth outlook, saying a significant portion of the potential market is still far from widespread adoption. The additional capital will also enable Cyera to pursue acquisitions; earlier this month it completed the $1 billion acquisition of Oasis Security, which specializes in managing non-human digital identities. Segev said Cyera is aiming for an IPO but feels no urgency to execute the move.
