Acquisition

Cyera to acquire Oasis Security for $1B, uniting data and identity security

July 28, 2026

Deal Value

$1B

Non-human identities inside large enterprises have surged nearly 500% in six months, outpacing tools built for human users.

  • Data security unicorn Cyera agreed to acquire Israeli startup Oasis Security for $1 billion, with roughly $700 million in cash and the rest in Cyera shares.
  • Oasis Security, founded in 2022 by CEO Danny Brickman and CPO Amit Zimerman, both veterans of IDF intelligence unit 81, builds a platform to discover and secure non-human identities like AI agents, API keys and service accounts.
  • The acquisition follows Cyera's $600 million raise at a $12 billion valuation just weeks earlier in June, giving it the cash to fund the cash-and-stock deal.
  • Oasis had raised $195 million total, including a $120 million Series B in March 2026, backed by Accel, Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts and Craft Ventures.
  • Cyera says non-human identities inside Fortune 500 companies grew nearly 480% in the last six months alone as companies plug AI agents into everyday workflows.
  • The deal reflects a broader shift in cybersecurity: as AI agents gain real permissions to touch sensitive data, vendors are racing to merge data visibility with identity governance into a single control layer rather than sell them separately.
  • The purchase ranks as the second-largest cybersecurity M&A deal of 2026 tracked so far, trailing only Accenture's roughly $3.2 billion majority stake in Dragos.
