What happened
Globes reported on September 22, 2026, in an article on Goldman Sachs' investment in Cyera, that the Israeli AI and data security company was aiming for an IPO and working toward readiness, but felt no urgency to carry out the move. The article presented this as its own paraphrase of CEO Yotam Segev rather than a direct quote and named no outlet for the remark. No listing date, venue or filing was mentioned.
The remark came alongside the news that the growth arm of Goldman Sachs invested $400 million in Cyera. Globes said the investment extended a round announced in June, bringing it to $1 billion at a valuation of $12 billion, with the company now valued at over $12 billion. Segev said the main reason for raising was the opportunity to bring Goldman Sachs on as a strategic investor, not an immediate need for cash. Globes also reported that Cyera completed its $1 billion acquisition of Oasis Security earlier in September, paid in cash and stock.
Key points
- Globes reported Cyera is aiming for an IPO and working toward readiness.1
- The article said the company feels no urgency to execute the listing.1
- Segev said Goldman was brought in as a strategic investor, not for an immediate need for cash.1
- The $400 million Goldman investment brought the round to $1 billion at a $12 billion valuation.1
Why it matters
An IPO is stated as an aim, with readiness work under way, but Globes gives no date, venue or filing. For holders, the sources describe a goal, not a set route to a public market.
Segev described the raise as a strategic-investor decision rather than an immediate cash need, and the article says there is no urgency to list. Neither statement describes the company as pressed on timing.
