Advancing security through data-driven research

Where data reveals both risks and the path to protection

AI adoption has gone mainstream

But security & visibility hasn't caught up

79%

of organizations already use OpenAI tools, yet nearly half admit they have little to no visibility into how AI is used.

76%

say AI adoption is driven by operational efficiency, with 73% citing decision-making improvements and 70% task automation.

76%

say autonomous AI agents are the hardest to secure, while 42% have only minimal visibility into their use.

Where Data, AI & Risk Collide

Cyera Research Labs explores the most pressing challenges organizations face as data becomes more distributed and AI becomes more autonomous.

AI & Data Systems

How AI models use and generate data. We study access control, data lineage, and privacy in generative systems.

Data Security & Governance

Modern approaches to classify, protect, and govern sensitive data across clouds and AI pipelines.

Vulnerabilities & Exposure

Taking responsibility, acting decisively, and taking ownership to overcome obstacles that drive purposeful results.

Industry  Trends

Tracking how finance, healthcare, and tech adapt to changing regulations and AI integration.

Access & Identity Analytics

Mapping who can reach what. Understanding identity relationships to prevent access-based breaches.

Emerging Technologies

Researching the future: AI-native governance, zero-trust data models, and autonomous data agents.

The Changing AI & Data Landscape

Data Without Boundaries

Clouds, tools, and pipelines generate endless data-and unseen risk. Shadow data and unclassified assets grow faster than traditional security can track.

AI Everywhere

Generative models and autonomous systems now touch every workflow. Few know what data they access or create-expanding the attack surface across humans and machines.

Access Is the New Perimeter

Data risk isn’t about location-it’s about reach. Mapping and controlling access defines the next generation of data protection.
