Cyera agrees to acquire Oasis Security for $1B to safeguard proliferating AI agents

AI 中文解读

Cyera豪掷10亿美元收购Oasis Security，专为AI“数字员工”上安全锁。如今企业里各种AI工具（比如自动客服、流程机器人）越来越多，它们像“隐形员工”一样在后台干活，但需要访问公司内部系统。如果没有严密的身份管理，这些“机器员工”一旦被黑客盯上，就能轻松窃取机密数据。Oasis正是干这行的——专门监管这些非人类身份，追踪它们的行为，并严格控制系统之间的访问权限。Cyera原本是数据安全公司，收购后计划把Oasis的技术整合成统一的身份与数据安全平台。这对普通人意味着什么？企业用AI时，你的个人信息、财务数据会更安全，因为AI背后的“机器员工”有了更严格的权限管控，不会越界访问。同时，这笔收购也透露一个信号：随着AI工具爆发式增长，保护它们的安全市场将越来越火，未来我们使用各种AI服务时，背后多了道无形的防火墙。

Data security company Cyera, which recently raised $600 million at a $12 billion valuation, announced Tuesday that it signed a letter of intent to acquire Oasis Security for approximately $1 billion in a deal expected to be paid mostly in cash, with the remainder in Cyera shares. Oasis focuses on non-human identities, primarily AI agents. As the number of AI agents proliferates, companies must deploy cybersecurity software that monitors these agents’ behavior and grants them permission to access other software. Founded in 2022, Oasis has raised about $195 million from Accel, Craft Ventures, Cyberstarts and other investors. The deal highlights a surging market for cybersecurity providers defending enterprises against AI-weaponized threats. Cyera, which shares investors Accel and Cyberstarts with Oasis, has been on an acquisition spree, recently purchasing Index Ventures-backed Ryft and the less-than-one-year-old Genie Security. Post-acquisition, Cyera plans to integrate Oasis’s technology into a unified identity and data security platform. Although Cyera recently surpassed $150 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), the company is far from profitable, TechCrunch reported last month. The five-year-old company has raised about $2.3 billion in total funding. var playerInstance_jwplayer_6a6959e374bf5 = jwplayer( "jwplayer_6a6959e374bf5" ); playerInstance_jwplayer_6a6959e374bf5.setup({ playlist: "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/nsQAyeWN", });
