Early success stories

A US State Agency was alerted to a threat actor who claimed to have breached its unemployment-benefit accounts. Using the Cerberus AI Research Assistant, the analyst was able to query details from the initial post and instantly locate the post's original dark web source. The AI assistant tool translated the post, generated a synopsis of the thread, and extracted the key details for the wider criminal investigation team.

By pivoting on these AI-derived insights, the analyst was able to secure pivotal, new details about the threat actor's identity and operational methodology. This verified intelligence was delivered to the state's cybersecurity office, significantly accelerating the criminal investigation and enabling rapid, pre-emptive defense measures to protect public data.
