Pivot & Discover

One indicator, an entire threat graph.

Start with any atomic — IP, domain, cert hash, email — and expand laterally across every joined dataset in a single query.

From one seed to full actor infrastructure.

Analysts waste hours stitching CSVs across WHOIS, DNS, CT logs, and passive reverse-IP tools. SapherData pre-joins the graph — one query returns the web.
