How Flashpoint Is Reinventing Cyber Threat Investigations with AI

Why Investigation Workflows Matter in Cyber Threat Intelligence

Every security and threat intelligence team has its own rhythm. Usually, an investigation begins with a trigger: maybe an alert, a suspicious domain, or chatter about an attack tool. From there, analysts track clues, gather evidence, connect the dots, and work with others to explain what’s happening and why it matters.

Flashpoint’s Investigations Management module was built for these real-world needs by:

• Keeping everyone on the same page (no matter the region or role)
• Linking context, evidence, and notes—no more tab chaos
• Letting teams build out cases for weekly briefs or long-term research

Earlier this year, Flashpoint added AI Summarization for Investigations, helping analysts instantly draft summaries from the intel they collected across Flashpoint sources. Now, the evolution goes a step further: Investigations is becoming a true AI-powered research environment, unifying automation, interaction, and insight directly into the core of cyber threat response.

What is an AI-Powered Threat Investigation Workspace?

A truly effective AI-powered investigation workspace is not just a case tracker with a chatbot tacked on; it’s a responsive environment purpose-built for modern security analysis. 

Flashpoint’s Investigations Management AI Workspace gives analysts the space and tooling to focus on what matters most—without disrupting how they already operate. Here’s how:

Upload Your Own Evidence

Drop in PDFs, screenshots, doc files, and more into your investigation and get instant context alongside Flashpoint-sourced intel. Combining internal findings with external sources for a more complete picture.

Item Selection: Summarize What Really Matters

Structured key findings across indicators, compromised credentials, actor chatter, finished intelligence, team notes, uploaded content, and more—without manual stitching. Plus, choose which item types you want included in each summary, giving you control over the context the AI processes and highlights.

Go Deeper with Smart Suggestions

Get intelligence prompt suggestions based on the items in your investigations, so you’re never starting analysis with a blank slate, and explore angles you hadn’t considered before.

Ask Follow-up Questions

Chat with the AI to explain findings, explore leads, validate assumptions or prep communications for stakeholders, without switching tools.

Automate Delivery and Reporting

Set your workspace to send summaries and exports on a recurring basis – daily, weekly, or custom – to keep your team aligned and informed, without extra reminders or manual exports.

The goal isn’t to replace security analysts—it’s to amplify them–with a workspace that’s grounded in their workflows, understands their context, and turns data into an interactive story.

How Analyst Teams Use Investigation’s Workspace

From fast incident triage to deep-dive research, teams are already shifting their workflows:

• Incident Response: When an alert hits, the analyst pulls evidence (phishing PDF, domain intel), drafts summary findings via AI, and quickly briefs the response team. Less lag time. More actionable detail.

• Weekly Threat Reporting: Analysts log new intel in their investigation folder as the week unfolds. Every Friday at 9:00 AM ET, Flashpoint’s Investigations AI-powered workspace automatically compiles the latest findings into a clear, shareable summary and export.

• Prepping for Investigation: AI prompts help analysts probe deeper—exploring new leads, confirming findings, coaching what goes into the team’s final report, or what their next steps are – turning the workspace into an interactive research assistant.

• Collaborating Across Teams: Shared summaries (grounded in verifiable evidence) mean stakeholders work smarter, syncing up faster without repeated clarifications.

With Flashpoint’s AI workspace:

• Analysts stay focused on threats, not formatting
• Urgent questions get timely answers
• Investigations are reusable and scalable across teams, not archived and forgotten
• Reporting bottlenecks shrink, but analyst expertise grows

How Flashpoint’s AI is Different

AI is only as good as the data it’s built on. There’s no shortage of “AI assistants” in cybersecurity right now. But most rely on generic models, scraped content, or siloed data and fall short when applied to the nuanced world of threat intelligence.

Here’s what sets Flashpoint apart:

1. Built on real, Primary Source intelligence: Our AI operates on the same raw, human-curated intelligence that powers the rest of the Flashpoint platform—stealer logs, actor insights, breach data, deep forum conversations, technical IOCs, and more.
2. Deeply integrated into workflow: AI fits naturally into how analysts already work, enhancing structure, surfacing context, and accelerating decisions. It’s there when it counts: helping teams get to the “so what” faster, not just check a box.
3. Always human-guided: Every summary, prompt, and answer can be validated, explained, and traced so analysts stay firmly in control.
4. Private and context-aware: You decide what gets included in your investigation and what the AI can see. Uploaded documents, notes, and questions stay within your workspace and are not used to train external models.

We’re building toward a future where AI is woven into every stage of threat intelligence, helping teams move faster, smarter, and get to the point. Learn more about Flashpoint’s AI strategy and vision.
