Cyberhaven

Cyberhaven, founded in 2016 by computer scientists and security experts from MIT and EPFL, operates from Silicon Valley as an AI-powered data security company. It has reached unicorn status with a $1 billion valuation and $250M in funding, ranking #51 on the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500. The company counts 4 of the top 5 Forbes AI 50 firms among its customers and analyzes billions of workflows through its platform. The threat model is straightforward: data moves - through insider actions, AI agents, cloud workflows - and traditional perimeter defenses lose track. Cyberhaven's unified platform combines data security posture management (DSPM) , data loss prevention , insider risk management , and AI security , all anchored by deep data lineage . The system traces sensitive data wherever it lives and moves, applying context-aware controls rather than static rules. Agentic AI capabilities are part of the product stack, reflecting the shift toward autonomous workflows that require real-time visibility. Technical domains span data lineage, insider risk, AI security, and enterprise-grade DLP. The team is built around a core conviction that understanding where data comes from - and where it's going - is the prerequisite for securing it. That lineage-first approach shapes engineering decisions across the platform, from classification to enforcement.
