What happened
Cyera announced on September 22, 2026 a $400 million investment from Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The company described it as an extension of its Series G, which was led by Evolution Equity, and put its valuation at over $12 billion. The Wall Street Journal reported the deal the same day and said the extension followed a June Series G that valued the company at $12 billion.
Cyera said the money would support new capabilities on its AI Security product roadmap, deeper expansion in the federal market, and international growth across EMEA and APAC. The release said the acquisition of Oasis Security brings non-human identity management into the same system as Cyera's visibility into AI agent activity. The Journal reported that the company had raised more than $1.9 billion in 15 months. The release named Accel, Blackstone, Cyberstarts, Georgian, Lightspeed and Sequoia among its backers and did not state a per-share price.

Why it matters
The sources give over $12 billion for the extension and $12 billion for the June Series G, so the reported valuation is in line with the previous mark. New money came in without a visibly higher price.
Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives joined an existing Series G rather than a new round. The release does not state whether any existing shares were sold, so the sources give no new liquidity route for employees or early holders.
