What Authentic8 Silo is
Authentic8 Silo is a cloud-based digital investigation workspace for government and commercial intelligence teams conducting sensitive investigations. It is designed to keep analyst identity hidden and systems isolated through collection, analysis, and sharing. Activity can pass through more than 700 in-region nodes, including residential, mobile, data center, and dark web connections. Workspaces can combine the Silo for Research browser with apps such as Telegram, Signal, Maltego, LibreOffice, and Obsidian. Research tools include capture and annotation, translation, automated collection, multi-site search, encrypted storage, and case management. The Marketplace offers first- and third-party apps and extensions, and APIs connect with threat intelligence feeds, case management, and reporting pipelines. Nexus AI provides source-grounded responses and identity-shielded queries; Authentic8 says prompts are not used for model training. Administrators can manage permissions by role, team, and investigation, with activity recorded in encrypted, tamper-evident logs. Silo requires no installation and runs in a browser. Pricing starts at $1,450 per user per year, and a 30-day trial is available.
