For intelligence analysts
The same universe. A different question.
Cybervestigate lets the same fictional universe produce a different training experience. Analysts are tasked with an intelligence requirement, then judged on how they evaluate sources, hold competing explanations, and brief a decision-maker.
Capabilities
-
Intelligence requirements
Start from the question a customer, commander, or client actually asked.
-
Source evaluation
Grade what a record can support, including sources that disagree.
-
Alternative hypotheses
Keep a competing explanation alive until the evidence retires it.
-
Collection gaps
Name what you still do not know, and what would change the call.
-
Confidence assessments
State how much weight the assessment can bear.
-
Actor profiling
Describe an actor from behavior and infrastructure, within the evidence.
-
Strategic implications
Say what the case means beyond the individual incident.
-
Executive reporting
Brief findings a decision-maker can use without the full file.
Same operation, intelligence tasking
Operation Glass Harbor
An intelligence requirement asks what the infrastructure, identities, social accounts, cryptocurrency transactions, and underground forum persona behind a business email compromise imply for the organizations they target — and how confident that assessment should be.
Investigators work this same operation as a criminal case. Read the investigation.
Method
How Cybervestigate Works
Five stages, from the first briefing to the debrief against ground truth.
-
1
Receive the case
The learner receives an allegation, intelligence requirement, incident report, victim complaint, or briefing.
-
2
Investigate
They search Cybervestigate's simulated internet, collect evidence, interrogate records, correlate identities, examine artifacts, and request information.
-
3
Analyze
Build timelines, link entities, document hypotheses, evaluate sources, and identify gaps.
-
4
Report
Write findings and assessments supported by evidence.
-
5
Debrief
Compare decisions with the scenario ground truth and receive feedback.
Begin with the case.
Operation Glass Harbor is the investigation. The debrief comes after the work.
