NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GenAI adoption is outpacing control. According to Cyera’s 2025 State of AI Report, 83% of organizations now use AI in daily work, yet only 13% say they have strong visibility into how it touches enterprise data. And with the rise of autonomous agents, continuously transforming how data moves, this is creating risky blind spots for security teams tasked with protecting sensitive information across human and machine identities.
Today, at its flagship conference DataSecAI25 in Dallas, Cyera launched Access Trail, giving organizations detailed insight into every data touchpoint. Alongside new innovations and enhancements, Cyera is uniting its AI-powered data classification, human and non-human identities, access activities, and AI security to deliver the visibility, control, and confidence organizations need to enable safe AI adoption at scale.
Introducing Access Trail: Keeping track of every data touchpoint
With one year of data retention, Access Trail gives businesses straightforward, low-cost access to billions of access events per year. It uses Cyera’s AI-native data security platform to link every action to data sensitivity, ownership, business context, and important information like where the data is, how long it will be kept, and what security controls are already in place.
Security and compliance teams can now:
- Demonstrate Compliance with Evidence: Automatically generate verifiable audit reports, retained for at least one year, that replace manual reporting and demonstrate control effectiveness.
- Investigate Insider Threats: Identify privilege misuse and risky behavior in near real time by correlating access patterns and actions with data sensitivity.
- Monitor How AI Uses Data: Monitor AI-driven data access and transformations to maintain control, transparency, and trust in AI operations.
- Reduce Risk Through Least Privilege: Proactively detect and remediate excessive or unused permissions with activity-based insights to enforce least privilege.
Access Trail, which is now in Early Access, makes things clear by giving you the whole story behind every data touchpoint. And when problems are found, businesses can fix them fast with Cyera’s automated remediation features, such turning off access or giving data owners meaningful messages.
New Features Across Cyera’s Data Security Platform Help Build the Future of Secure AI
Cyera also revealed improvements to AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) and AI Protect, building on the first reveal of AI Guardian in August.
AI-SPM is currently in Early Access (EA), which lets users find and keep track of all kinds of AI while also mapping data risk across their deployments.
AI Protect is now available to the public (GA) for Microsoft 365 and other applications. It lets security teams find and automatically stop problematic actions, such as unauthorized agent actions or prompts that don’t follow the rules.
These two improvements give businesses a single view of all of their AI assets and the exact data that each user and system may access.
Cyera’s AI Assistant Changes the Way Businesses Look at and Protect Their Data
Cy, Cyera’s new GenAI assistant that lets anyone ask questions about their data in plain language, is also in private beta today. Now, team members of all skill levels can swiftly finish difficult activities like making reports and answering tough questions about how secure their data is.
Teams can just ask questions like:
“Show me the problems I can fix today that will have the biggest effect with the least amount of work.”
“Make a report on data retention for the current fiscal year.”
“Summarize how Cyera has helped lower risk in the past three months.”
“Which third-party users are most likely to put my data at risk?”
Cy goes a step further by making reports and summaries that can be shared on demand, turning complicated data sets into straightforward, useful information.
Working Together to Build the Community to Solve Problems in the Industry
As the industry comes together to remain ahead of the changing security landscape, Cyera launched the DataSecAI Portal. This is a comprehensive portal that connects leaders in data security, compliance, and AI with the tools, resources, and network they need to make real progress.
The DataSecAI Portal builds on Cyera’s events and educational programs, which have already reached more than 15,500 industry professionals around the world. It gives users access to Cyera’s AI Security School, Data Security School, and exclusive content and webinars that are meant to speed up community learning and collaboration.
