Cyabra

Cyabra is an Israeli social media intelligence company that uses AI to detect fake accounts, bot networks, and influence campaigns across social media platforms. The company was founded by Elad Cohen and other Israeli intelligence veterans, emerging from Israel's Unit 8200 military intelligence ecosystem. Cyabra developed its technology to identify coordinated inauthentic behavior and map influence networks, positioning itself as a defensive tool for brands and governments while also offering offensive capabilities for mapping and countering opposition networks.

Cyabra functions as a dual-use social media monitoring tool within the surveillance network, deployed both defensively to protect the network's narratives and offensively to map and counter opposition networks. Its AI-powered fake account detection and influence campaign mapping capabilities enable the identification of critics and coordination of counter-narrative operations. The company shares personnel and intelligence networks with the broader Israeli surveillance technology ecosystem including NSO Group and Cobwebs.
