Cyera

Cyera is an AI-native data security company whose Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform discovers, classifies, and secures sensitive data across cloud service providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), SaaS applications, data warehouses, and on-premises stores using an agentless architecture that scans hundreds of petabytes without impacting performance. Cyera exposes a versioned REST API (api.cyera.io, with an EU region at api-eu.cyera.io) secured with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect and short-lived JWT bearer tokens, a published Model Context Protocol server (Cyera MCP over DataPort, a per-customer managed Snowflake warehouse) for natural-language querying of data-security findings, and a SafeBase-powered trust center covering SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of Lightspeed Venture Partners and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Cyera the way a machine reads it — 7 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Cyera scores 36.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 25/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Cyera

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Cyera. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Cyera API

Versioned REST API (v1 / v3) for programmatic access to Cyera's data discovery, classification, access-exposure, and risk findings. Secured with OAuth 2.0 client_credentials (Cl...

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
