Cloudburst Technologies and Chainalysis Announce Groundbreaking OSINT Integration, Enabling Focused Deep and Dark Web Coverage in Blockchain Investigations
NEW YORK, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cloudburst Technologies (www.burst.cloud), the market leader in off-chain intelligence data for the digital asset market, and Chainalysis (www.chainalysis.com), the blockchain analysis company, are proud to announce a strategic partnership aimed at rethinking the role of deep and dark web data in cryptocurrency investigations. This groundbreaking integration will provide a robust new approach in identifying and mitigating illicit online activities that touch on digital assets.
Unified Solution for Enhanced Security
The partnership brings together Cloudburst Technologies’ cutting-edge deep and dark web monitoring capabilities–tailored to crypto fraud and crafted using AI–with Chainalysis’ state-of-the-art blockchain analysis platform.
