Searchlight Cyber introduces an AI Agent designed to automate the summarization of dark web threat actors, enhancing SEO effectiveness.

Searchlight Cyber has introduced a new AI capability, the Searchlight AI Agent, within its dark web investigation platform, Cerberus. This innovative tool leverages Cerberus’ extensive dark web data lake to provide law enforcement and cybersecurity professionals with a concise overview of threat actors. The AI Agent summarises critical information, including a threat actor’s activity, conversation history, aliases, and associations. This capability significantly aids investigators in quickly identifying profiles of interest and determining areas for further investigation. Given the challenges criminals face in maintaining anonymity on the dark web, the Searchlight AI Agent streamlines the traditionally laborious process of attributing activities and profiling offenders.

The Searchlight AI Agent generates reliable summaries based on over 15 years of dark web data, enabling analysts to assess the relevance of a threat actor to their investigations in mere seconds. The summaries encompass various details, such as dark web post analysis, digital identifiers like email addresses and messaging platform IDs, open-source intelligence, and vendor insights from dark web marketplaces. David Osler, Head of Product at Searchlight Cyber, emphasised the value of this contextual data, stating that the AI Agent could save hours of investigative time previously spent sifting through forums and encrypted chats. This latest enhancement is part of a broader series of AI improvements to the Cerberus product, which also includes AI-powered Language Translation, Thread Summarisation, and Sentiment Analysis.
