Mission
focused:
For nearly a decade, we have been driven to disrupt cybercrime at the source, while ensuring individuals can live a safe digital life.
From innovating solutions that prevent identity-based attacks to supporting efforts that find missing and exploited children to taking down criminal operations – we’re turning the tables on cybercriminals.
Our mission is clear: make the internet safer for everyone.
Why cybercrime disruption is a business imperative
Cybercriminals are operating like professional enterprises – fast, agile, and globally connected. To outpace them, defenders must adopt the same playbook: collaboration, intelligence sharing, and preemptive action.
SpyCloud works to:
Prevent targeted attacks stemming from stolen identity data like credentials, session cookies & PII and deliver Responsible Disclosures of breach data to minimize impact.
Support the intelligence communities efforts to takedown large criminal enterprises and threat actors with comprehensive investigations and enriched training.
Team up and enable those bringing justice to victims of cybercrime through intelligence sharing.
How SpyCloud disrupts cybercrime
We infiltrate criminal communities to recapture breach data, malware logs, phished data, and infrastructure details – before they can be used for attacks.
analytics
We convert raw data into enterprise-grade identity intelligence that gives the insights needed to drive comprehensive investigations and proactive defense.
We work hand-in-hand with MSSPs, national CERTs, law enforcement agencies, and technology platforms to dismantle cybercriminal tools and tactics.
The impact
“With SpyCloud, we can often solve cases in a matter of hours rather than days, months, years when we have the right data point to dig into.”
Specialist Investigator,
Global Online Child Sexual Exploitation Unit
“I'm driven by the injustice and the responsibility that I have to defend the least among us – the poor and the downtrodden. The victims that we look at, they have no ability to defend themselves really against these groups.”
Jason Lancaster,
SVP Investigations, SpyCloud
“[Working at SpyCloud] you can have a broader impact, I think because you’re never really focused on making a case. As a law enforcement agent, there are often times where you think you're leaving more on the table, and working here you can make that broader impact -- you're more laser focused on greater outcomes rather than case by case.”

SpyCloud Sr. Investigator, Retired FBI Agent

We won’t stop 'til bad actors do
From financial fraud to investigating missing and exploited children, SpyCloud is committed to helping the most vulnerable and working to bring justice to victims. Here are some recent examples of our work.
When individuals who qualified for additional assistance during COVID due to unemployment went to file their taxes and were informed their taxes had already been filed and their return had already been cashed – bad actors were taking funds directly from those in need.
Such was the case of an elderly woman who was the victim of $3,000 Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) fraud that paid out to someone impersonating her. SpyCloud was able to identify the fraudster and right the wrong.
Every case doesn’t make it on the federal law enforcement’s radar, but every one of those that we help adds up and it all matters – it matters to the victims a lot.
A global online child exploitation unit leverages SpyCloud data and Investigations API 99% of the time to help dig into victim and perpetrator leads and more comprehensively investigate.
SpyCloud’s data has been instrumental in rescuing nearly 120 victims and identifying approximately 75 perpetrators for prosecution. This is often years of following breadcrumbs and the figures are considered extremely conservative estimates.
“To be in the room and see a case break-open and find a child who is being exploited, it’s a great feeling and SpyCloud’s intelligence is part of that process most of the time.”
– Specialist Investigator
Euroboss is a threat actor that SpyCloud investigators identified related to a number of schemes and pervasive phishing.
In partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Cybercrime Atlas Group we looked into a number of domains that were impersonating other companies and enabling phishing activity.
We brought to bear a large number of resources – dozens of people from different companies – to work together and were able to identify this scheme and bring justice in the face of fraudulent activity.
