Cyera is acquiring Oasis Security, combining two Sequoia-backed companies into a single AI security platform. Cyera, founded by Yotam Segev, Tamar Bar-Ilan, and Yonatan Itai, maps where sensitive data lives and who can reach it. Oasis, founded by Danny Brickman and Amit Zimerman, secures non-human identities: API keys, service accounts, OAuth tokens, and agent-to-agent credentials that carry real permissions and real blast radius. Both companies drew founders from Talpiot and Unit 8200, the same IDF programs that produced Wiz. Sequoia backed both at Series A.
The technical logic is direct. Every AI agent creates or uses non-human identities that act with real permissions and do not behave like human identities. Legacy IAM tooling was never built for this. Oasis built what it calls agentic access management to address exactly that gap, going from founding to enterprise-scale deployment in under three years. Cyera brings the other half: knowing what sensitive data exists and what is actually at risk when an agent reads, writes, or acts on it. Together they cover the full path an AI agent takes through a company environment, from the identity it presents to the data it touches.
The go-to-market case is as important as the product fit. Cyera has built enterprise distribution that typically takes a decade. Oasis's product now runs through that engine immediately. The piece worth reading in full is not the conclusion but the investment memo reasoning: Sequoia's Bogomil Balkansky identified the Oasis-Wiz-Cyera founder parallel before Oasis was even founded, in 2021, and that early pattern recognition shapes how both firms think about what a complete AI security platform requires next.
