The Israeli company Cyabra from Tel Aviv introduced an innovative platform that, with the help of machine learning algorithms, is capable of identifying fake profiles and disinformation on social networks. As reported by NEWSru.co.il, the startup plans to go public on Nasdaq with a valuation of 70 million dollars.

Cyabra addresses the challenges posed by the growing volume of disinformation created using artificial intelligence. The company’s platform tracks fake accounts on popular social networks such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.

After the events of October 7, the information war on social networks sharply escalated, and Cyabra detected about 41,000 fake accounts spreading disinformation and fake news aimed against Israel and in support of HAMAS terrorists.

Founded in 2018 by veterans of elite Israeli intelligence units, Cyabra already works with 19 governments around the world, as well as with major media and consumer brands, helping them detect and combat disinformation. The startup actively collaborates with companies such as Warner Media, providing them with tools for monitoring and analyzing data on social media platforms.

Cyabra plans further development and expansion of its staff. The company intends to continue creating products capable of effectively distinguishing real information from fake.
