Cyral

Cyral was a cloud-native data security company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, that delivered enterprise data security and governance across modern data services including Snowflake, MongoDB, S3, Kafka, and Oracle. The company's lightweight, agentless interception technology provided visibility, control, and security for the data cloud without requiring agents on database servers, enabling DevOps and security teams to collaborate and prevent data leakage. Cyral's platform automated workflows to operationalize data assurance while reducing risk, complexity, and cost for managing structured data. The company was acquired by Varonis in March 2025 to reinvent database activity monitoring.
