Bot Network Detection
Identify and map coordinated inauthentic behavior at scale — before it shapes the narrative.
Overview
Cyber Harpoon identifies and maps coordinated inauthentic behavior at scale using our proprietary BADS methodology (Bot Activation Detection System). We detect bot clusters, trace their activation patterns, analyze network topology, and produce forensic timelines that hold up as evidence in legal, security, and public-relations contexts.
Bot networks are no longer crude, easily-spotted spam accounts. Modern coordinated inauthentic behavior spans state-sponsored information operations, commercial astroturfing campaigns, and hybrid networks that blend real and synthetic accounts to manipulate sentiment, amplify narratives, or attack a brand's credibility. Detecting them requires more than keyword filters — it requires behavioral analysis, network graph mapping, and cross-platform correlation.
From a single suspicious spike in engagement to a full-scale influence campaign, we find the coordination signal hiding in the noise. Our reports are built to withstand scrutiny — from internal security teams, outside counsel, platform trust & safety teams, or law enforcement.
