Cyata's product finds the AI agents at work across a customer's cloud, software-as-a-service, and identity systems, shows what each one does, and limits what each is allowed to touch. Its founders previously worked at Check Point, Cellebrite, and the Israeli military-intelligence Unit 8200. Its researchers had published flaws in agent tooling, including a critical bug in LangChain, software used to build AI applications. About seven months after Cyata's public launch, Check Point bought the company in a set of acquisitions estimated at around 150 million dollars in total. Cyata's public customer proof is one eCapital case study and practitioner testimonials on its homepage. The request-a-demo link on Cyata's homepage now routes to Check Point's contact page.

The analyses are statements of opinion, not statements of fact. Machine analysis produced the scores, summaries, and matrix placements by weighing the public sources each page cites, and reasonable people can weigh the same sources differently.
