SpyCloud Investigations: Deep Visibility Into Identity-Based Threats

SpyCloud Investigations provides security analysts and investigation teams with direct access to rich, actionable intelligence from SpyCloud’s vast data collection of breached credentials, infostealer logs, phishing campaigns, cracked passwords, and combolists. Unlike automated detection tools, the Investigations enables in-depth, analyst-driven exploration of complex identity threats. The data is historical, not live – captured from past breaches and malware infections – providing context and holistic attribution that can reveal long-term exposure and patterns of abuse.

Core Benefits of SpyCloud Investigations

SpyCloud Investigations is designed for analysts who need direct access to raw, correlated data to support their workflows. It provides comprehensive visibility into breach and malware-exfiltrated data, tools for uncovering relationships between identities and infrastructure, and flexible options for integrating that intelligence into existing systems. Whether you're pivoting across data points, mapping threat actor behavior, or triaging indicators, Investigations is built to support hands-on analysis – augmenting manual investigation with context, historical insight, and automation where it helps, not where it gets in the way.

IDLink Analytics

Powered by IDLink™ analytics, SpyCloud Investigations automatically connects the dots across exposed assets to build holistic digital identities. Analysts can explore these relationships in an interactive graph and pivot across exposures correlated to their environment and supply chain.

AI Insights

SpyCloud's Investigations Module now features embedded AI Insights – built on decades of SpyCloud's investigative tradecraft and methodologies – to detect insider threats, surface hidden connections, and close investigative gaps, faster than ever.

Analyst-Driven Workflows with Automation Support

Empowers security analysts who need detailed, hands-on insights. It simplifies complex cases by providing clear, actionable intelligence – helping analysts investigate faster and more efficiently, often reducing research time from days to hours with smart automation assisting, but not replacing, human judgment.

Comprehensive Data Access

Query and retrieve detailed breach, infostealer, phishing, and combolist data tied to emails, usernames, phone numbers, and IPs, providing a 360° view of exposure.

Entity and Infrastructure Linkage

Uncover relationships between identities, compromised credentials, malware infrastructure, and threat actor personas to support attribution and ecosystem mapping.

Historical Context and Enrichment

Access historical breach timelines and contextual metadata to understand how and when exposures occurred and evolved.

Time Saving Investigation Efficiency
