Cyera Acquires Ryft to Secure AI Data Access
Cyera, the AI security platform, has acquired Ryft, an Israeli startup that built an automated, agent-ready data lake. The acquisition, estimated at $100 million to $130 million, folds Ryft's managed layer for authorization, classification, optimization, compliance, and traceability into Cyera's DSPM-focused stack. Ryft, founded in 2024 and backed by Index Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners, is already deployed with customers including Sonos, Unity, and Voodoo. The combined product promises instantly traceable, secure data access for agentic AI without forcing data migration or vendor lock-in. Ryft CEO Yossi Reitblat will lead AI security efforts at Cyera, accelerating a unified control plane for agent-driven workflows and addressing the unique identity and auditability challenges posed by autonomous agents.
