Every crisis, protest, or issue today begins with an online post. In seconds, a single message can ignite outrage, shift public sentiment, or destabilize trust, long before anyone has the chance to ask whether the post is true, who started it, and who spread it.
To meet this growing threat, Cyabra announces the launch of its AI-powered Narrative Alerts, a real-time intelligence system designed to detect and alert you to harmful narratives before they escalate into real-world consequences and undermine trust and stability.
The Rising Threat of Narrative Manipulation
Social media has collapsed the distance between creation and consequence. What begins as a simple conversation can evolve into a coordinated influence campaign, amplified by bad actors who use fake accounts, bot networks, deepfakes and other AI-generated content that mimic real users and authentic content with frightening precision.
These narratives are more than mis- and disinformation: they’re emotional weapons. They tap into bias, exploit outrage, and fracture communities. And by the time teams notice, the damage is often already done.
The World Economic Forum ranked disinformation among the greatest short-term risks to global stability. Governments, enterprise companies, and institutions are all grappling with an unmanageable scale of conversation, meaning billions of posts across dozens of platforms and thousands of languages. Traditional monitoring tools can’t keep up with the velocity or complexity of this new threat landscape.
“The danger is far greater than a single crisis, or a single influence operation attack,” said Cyabra CEO, Dan Brahmy. “It’s in how fast these harmful narratives move. How coordinated networks can hijack a conversation and weaponize it before you have a chance to respond. By showing which actors are involved, how activity is coordinated, and which narratives are spreading, Cyabra’s Narrative Alerts enables proportionate, evidence-led action when clarity matters most.”
Introducing Cyabra’s Narrative Alerts: A New Early Warning System
Cyabra’s Narrative Alerts is built on the company’s proprietary AI, trained to identify not only what people are saying, but how, where, and why those narratives spread – or are being spread. By continuously monitoring billions of online conversations across social media and news, Cyabra’s platform detects coordinated behavior, bot activity, and manipulated narrative, flagging anomalies before they spiral into full blown attacks. Cyabra’s Narrative Alerts detects mis/disinformation, extremism, hate, harrsment, incitement, scams, impersonations, inappropriate content (sexual or violent), and many other types of harmful narratives.
With real-time alerts and contextual insights, organizations gain visibility into:
- Where a narrative begins
- Who is amplifying it
- How fast it’s spreading
- What impact it could have
Each alert arrives with the full context needed to act decisively, empowering communication, security, and intelligence teams to respond before reputations, trust, or stability are compromised.
Narrative Intelligence: What’s Trending – And What’s Coming
In contrast to traditional social listening tools that track sentiment or mentions, Cyabra’s Narrative Alerts delivers narrative intelligence: the ability to connect the dots between actors, behavior and content across multiple ecosystems, tracking themes, trends, hashtags, and different types of content (text, image, video).
By filtering billions of data points through Cyabra’s authenticity and coordination models, the Narrative Alerts pinpoints the moments that matter, allowing users to stay ahead of the storyline rather than chasing it.
“You can’t out-watch the speed of social media,” said Rafi Mendelsohn, Cyabra’s Chief Marketing Officer. “You need an AI that never blinks, one that spots manipulation in real time and alerts you before the narrative takes hold, so you can rest easy and know you’re in full control.”
Who It’s For: From Elections to Brands
Cyabra’s Narrative Alerts serves both public sector and private sector clients, providing tailored early-warning capabilities for each use case.
- For governments and public agencies: Narrative Alerts bring clarity to complex online information environments: tracking emerging influence operations, election interference, propaganda, and extremism across all platforms and languages. It strengthens institutional resilience by uncovering the actors and communities driving coordinated disinformation before it undermines public trust.
- For brands and enterprise companies: Narrative Alerts protects reputation and consumer confidence. It detects boycott campaigns and fake engagement before crises go viral, saving teams valuable time and resources while keeping the company’s narrative authentic and controlled. Narrative Alerts enables brands to respond proportionately, protect reputation, and avoid costly overreaction
In both arenas, Cyabra acts as a trusted radar for online manipulation, helping organizations detect, understand, and defuse threats in real time.
Powered by Authenticity, Driven by AI for Good
The launch of Narrative Alerts builds on Cyabra’s core mission: to restore trust in digital discourse. Developed by information warfare and cybersecurity experts, Cyabra’s platform already monitors billions of social interactions daily, distinguishing between real and fake voices across more than 100 languages.
From identifying deepfakes and AI-generated content to mapping bot networks and sentiment clusters, Cyabra’s technology uses AI for good: protecting both brands and democracies from manipulation at scale.
“Our goal has always been to uncover the good, bad, and fake online,” said Brahmy. “With Narrative Alerts, we’re giving organizations the power to act before a trend becomes a crisis.”
The Future of Online Defense
As AI continues to blur the boundaries between authentic and artificial content, narrative manipulation will only grow more sophisticated. Cyabra’s Narrative Alerts represent a new layer of digital defense: one that matches the speed, scale, and intelligence of the threats it’s built to confront.
Whether it’s protecting national elections, defending corporate reputations, or preserving public safety, Cyabra’s message is clear: You can’t stop what you can’t see. Narrative Alerts makes the invisible visible, before it’s too late.
