The rapid growth of AI-generated content, coordinated inauthentic activity, and sophisticated digital manipulation has transformed the online information environment. Organizations increasingly require advanced intelligence capabilities to determine whether digital activity is authentic, identify the sources driving narratives, and understand how information spreads. Gartner® has formally defined and assessed this market for the first time, naming Cyabra a Market Shaper in its inaugural Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence — Startup Vendors.
“Being recognized as a Market Shaper in the inaugural Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence — Startup Vendors marks an important milestone for Cyabra and for a category we have spent years helping to define”, said Cyabra Co-Founder and CEO Dan Brahmy. “Organizations need to know not only what is being said online, but also who is driving it, how it is being amplified, and whether the signals they are seeing are authentic or manufactured. Narrative intelligence builds on the social listening tools teams already rely on, adding a deeper understanding of authenticity, influence, and coordinated behavior. It represents the next evolution of digital intelligence, helping organizations identify the signals they can actually trust. Cyabra was created to track and account for this shift, helping governments and enterprises distinguish organic discourse from coordinated manipulation and facilitating appropriate, evidence-based responses.”
Cyabra’s AI-powered digital trust platform analyzes actors, behaviors, and content across digital platforms to reveal coordinated influence activity, assess authenticity, map emerging narratives, and enable evidence-based mitigation. The Company supports public-sector, national security, enterprise, communications, and risk teams operating in environments where manipulated narratives can impact reputations, markets, public trust, commercial relationships, and stakeholder safety. Cyabra believes narrative intelligence is emerging as a cross-functional capability that can help bridge communications, cybersecurity, corporate risk, legal, investor relations, public affairs, and government response. From protecting brands and executives to identifying information operations and market-sensitive manipulation, the ability to understand narrative authenticity and coordinated amplification is critical to how organizations interpret and respond to the digital information environment.
“The rise of narrative intelligence is now a strategic conversation for public-sector leaders countering information operations, enterprise teams protecting brands and customers, investors assessing a newly forming market, and media organizations working to understand how AI-driven manipulation is changing the information environment,” said David Low, Cyabra’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We view this Gartner recognition as the start of a broader market education moment, not a one-day announcement. We will continue to lean into educating the market on why evidence of authenticity and coordination are fundamental decision-making signals in the digital domain.”
As the digital threat landscape continues to evolve, Cyabra believes demand for proactive narrative defense and authenticity verification will continue to grow across high-profile individuals, brands, enterprises, and other trust- and reputation-sensitive sectors. Cyabra continues to advance AI-driven capabilities designed to help organizations distinguish authentic engagement from manipulation and make decisions based on reliable digital intelligence.
