At the Department of State and the CIA, our ability to meet constantly evolving threats depended on our capacity to detect them. Cyabra's dedication to proactive, cutting-edge threat detection aligns perfectly with this mission, and I am excited to work with them as they provide a vital shield against nefarious manipulation efforts online.”
