Cyera to Buy Oasis Security for $1B as AI Agents Multiply Machine Identities
Cyera signed a letter of intent to acquire Oasis Security for about $1 billion, mostly cash, folding non-human identity management — the service accounts, tokens, and keys AI agents consume — into its data-security platform. Agent deployments now spawn privileged credentials faster than existing IAM tooling tracks them, and identity is consolidating into data security rather than staying a separate category. Cyera has passed $150 million in ARR on $2.3 billion raised at a $12 billion valuation, and this is its third acquisition of the year after Ryft and Genie Security.

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.
Why this matters
- → AI agents' credentials now outnumber human logins — traditional IAM can't keep pace
- → Identity management consolidating under data-security platforms, not standalone tools
- → Cyera's $1B bet signals $12B+ market opportunity in securing non-human attack surface
