MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – March 11, 2026 – Cyberhaven, a leader in AI-powered data security, today announced a strategic distribution agreement with Ignition Technology to expand its reach into the United Kingdom market. This partnership aims to provide UK businesses with enhanced access to Cyberhaven’s unified platform, designed to address the growing complexities of data security in the age of artificial intelligence. The collaboration will leverage Ignition Technology’s established network of cybersecurity partners to deliver Cyberhaven’s data security posture management (DSPM), data loss prevention (DLP), insider risk management (IRM), and AI security solutions.
The demand for robust data security solutions is escalating as organizations increasingly adopt generative AI (GenAI) tools. A recent report from Cyberhaven Labs on AI Adoption & Risk revealed that 82% of the top 100 most-used GenAI SaaS applications are classified as presenting “medium,” “high,” or “critical” risk. This highlights a significant gap between traditional enterprise risk standards and the current landscape of AI tool usage, where employees are frequently inputting sensitive data into applications that lack adequate security measures. Addressing these risks is becoming paramount for businesses navigating the benefits and challenges of AI integration.
“In this shifting landscape, Cyberhaven has emerged as a critical solution for protecting data in the AI era,” said Nishant Doshi, CEO of Cyberhaven. “Without holistic visibility across the full data lifecycle, a deep understanding of data with context – including what It’s, who owns it, and how it’s used – and security that’s easy to deploy and operate, organizations open themselves up to constant data risks. Partnering with Ignition allows us to help more security teams at more organizations protect the crown jewels of corporate IP without compromising innovation from AI technologies.”
Addressing the Growing Need for AI-Driven Data Protection
The partnership between Cyberhaven and Ignition Technology comes at a time when UK businesses are facing increasing pressure to secure their data against evolving cyber threats. According to Cyberhaven, their platform offers a unique approach by combining AI with data lineage, providing security teams with the context needed to make informed protection decisions. This contrasts with traditional DLP tools, which often generate a high volume of false positives and can disrupt legitimate business activities. Cyberhaven claims its platform reduces false positives by 90% and accelerates incident investigations by a factor of five.
Peter Ledger, CEO of Ignition Technology, emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration. “Cyberhaven is a strong addition to our cybersecurity ecosystem, further propelling our mission forward to provide innovative and strategic cybersecurity solutions to the enterprise market,” he stated. “Cyberhaven’s unique ability to capture full data lineage across cloud applications, endpoints, and on-prem systems, delivers the visibility and control organizations need to protect their most critical assets in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. Together, we’re empowering businesses to strengthen their security posture with greater confidence, intelligence, and speed.”
European Expansion and Market Momentum
This move represents a significant step in Cyberhaven’s European expansion, building on substantial growth in 2025. The company reported triple-digit growth over the prior year and achieved a $1 billion valuation following its last funding round, according to the press release. Ignition Technology, an Exclusive Networks company, specializes in security distribution for the SaaS world and aims to enable business transformation through its partner network.

As organizations continue to integrate AI into their operations, the need for comprehensive data security measures will only intensify. The collaboration between Cyberhaven and Ignition Technology positions both companies to address this evolving demand within the UK market.
Looking ahead, the success of this partnership will likely depend on the ability of both companies to effectively leverage Ignition Technology’s partner network and demonstrate the value of Cyberhaven’s AI-powered data security platform to UK businesses. The continued adoption of AI technologies and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats will undoubtedly shape the future of data security, making proactive and intelligent solutions like those offered by Cyberhaven and Ignition Technology increasingly critical.
