Group-IB has launched Prevyn AI, the new cognitive core of its Unified Risk Platform.

The product is aimed at security teams that need to respond faster to attacks spreading across connected systems. It is available to existing Threat Intelligence and Managed XDR customers at no additional cost.

Prevyn AI spans two parts of Group-IB's security offering. In Threat Intelligence, it supports what the company describes as agentic research. In Managed XDR, it is positioned as an assistive tool for investigations and response.

The system draws on Group-IB's intelligence data lake, built from cybercrime investigations, regional research through its Digital Crime Resistance Centres, and work with international law enforcement bodies. According to the company, this dataset is designed to help the software reason about attacker behaviour rather than rely mainly on open-source information.

Two modes

Within Threat Intelligence, Prevyn AI coordinates 11 specialised agents focused on areas including malware analysis, threat actor tracking and dark web monitoring. Group-IB said the agents are modelled on investigative logic used in high-tech crime cases.

The approach is intended to help identify attacker intent and infrastructure staging before an attack begins. Internal evaluations showed an improvement of more than 20% in research quality across accuracy and analytical depth, according to the company.

In Managed XDR, the system is designed to reduce manual work for security operations teams. Prevyn AI can analyse alerts, draft incident reports and prepare structured remediation workflows, while human users decide whether to act on the recommendations.

That emphasis on human approval is central to the product's design. Every recommendation requires approval before execution, a model Group-IB said aligns with governance frameworks including DORA and the EU AI Act.

Governance focus

The launch reflects a broader shift in cyber security operations as companies look for ways to handle attacks that move faster than manual processes can manage. Vendors across the sector are adding generative and agent-based AI tools to existing platforms, but governance concerns have led many buyers to favour systems that keep people in control of final actions.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Singapore, Group-IB sells security products to customers in sectors including government, retail, healthcare, gaming and financial services. Its wider portfolio includes fraud protection, digital risk protection, business email protection and external attack surface management.

Its Digital Crime Resistance Centres operate across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific. That regional structure feeds intelligence into the broader platform and forms part of the company's pitch that local threat knowledge matters in cyber defence.

Commenting on the launch, chief executive Dmitry Volkov said the company added the product to help security teams keep pace with faster-moving threats. "Threat Actors are already operating at machine speed, and defenders cannot respond at the pace required when investigations remain manual. The name Prevyn comes from 'pre-vision'. Our goal is to move security from reactive to predictive, helping teams identify Threat Actor intent and infrastructure before an attack even launches," he said.
