Investigations Module

🧨 The Problem

Analysts are drowning in data and starved for clarity. The sheer volume of compromised identity assets and OSINT data makes it nearly impossible to:

Correlate digital breadcrumbs
Attribute threats
Spot insider risks — before damage is done

Most tools demand deep expertise, limiting success to only seasoned investigators.

SpyCloud Investigations gives teams a faster, smarter path from raw exposure to finished intel — helping organizations act before cybercriminals do.

🚀 Product Overview

SpyCloud Investigations is a SaaS-based module that helps cyber threat intel, security ops, fraud, and risk teams uncover and act on identity exposures with speed and confidence.

It delivers deep identity intelligence by transforming breach, malware, and phished data into:

Holistic identity views
Infrastructure mapping
Interactive graph-based investigation

Powered by IDLink™, it automatically links exposures to build complete digital profiles. Embedded AI Insights then detects identity risks and produces executive-ready reports.

🔧 How It Works

SpyCloud Investigations starts with a simple selector (email, phone, IP) and uses IDLink™ to automatically:

Pivot across exposed identity assets
Reveal deep relationships
Visualize the identity as a connected graph

You can explore those links interactively and uncover previously invisible exposures.

AI Insights then analyzes the full identity and generates a complete PDF summary for stakeholder escalation or incident response.

🤖 AI Insights

📄 What is AI Insights?

AI Insights closes the investigation loop by automating the final step — compiling raw identity exposures into executive-ready, exportable reports.

It detects:

Identity reuse across breaches and logs
Credential overlap
Suspicious browser behavior
Synthetic identity patterns
Indicators of insider threats

The result? Finished intelligence in seconds, not hours.

🧬 How IDLink Works

🔗 IDLink Accelerates Identity Correlation

IDLink runs background pivots after a simple query (email, phone, username), linking:

Backup emails
Passwords (hashed + cracked)
PII, usernames, and logins
Over a dozen asset types

It filters out irrelevant assets, shows only high-confidence matches, and builds the most complete view of the subject.

📊 Analyst Advantage

With IDLink-powered Investigations, analysts typically see:

8× more identity records
2× more malware infections
14× more cracked passwords
5× more linked emails

These lifts translate to faster attribution and better confidence in conclusions.
