The fast-growing data security vendor is doubling down on partner enablement in 2026, an executive recently told CRN.
Cyera, which recently disclosed plans to double down on partner enablement, announced Thursday it has raised another $400 million in funding and extended its valuation to $9 billion.
The fast-growing data security vendor announced the closing of the new Series F round, which was led by funds managed by Blackstone.

A top player in the red-hot space of data security posture management (DSPM), Cyera has expanded to offer data loss prevention (DLP) while also launching products focused on protecting data related to AI usage.
Founded in 2021, the $400 million in new funding brings the company to a total of more than $1.7 billion raised to date. Cyera had most recently announced raising $540 million in new funding at a valuation of $6 billion in June 2025.
The new fundraise follows the announcement in November that Cyera had promoted Steve Rog, a cybersecurity veteran and longtime executive with the company, to CRO.
In an interview with CRN at the time, Rog said the partner opportunities going forward are expansive amid stunning growth for Cyera’s data and AI security platform.
In terms of its work with the channel, Cyera will also invest heavily in partner enablement over the coming year, he said.
“We are now getting into a motion where we’ve taken the enablement that we’ve built internally, and we’re now taking that to the channel community to enable them in many ways. We’re doubling down on that effort. We will do all of our business through the channel community — 100 percent,” Rog said. “So we are very much committed to the channel community.”
The company is eyeing an expansion into working with MSPs, as well, he said.
MSP is “not something we do with partners yet today, but is definitely of interest to a growing number of partners,” Rog said.
