Our work has direct, real-world impact:
Jumping online after hours to support urgent government requests tracing ransomware payments.


Delivering actionable insights during terrorist financing investigations.


Collaborating across time zones in real time during a major global hack.


Building new processes in days, not weeks, to stop criminals before they cash out.


Analyzing blockchain data to recover stolen savings and dismantle trafficking networks.
