What it is
Authentic8 Silo is a cloud-based digital investigation workspace for government and commercial intelligence teams handling sensitive investigations. It separates analyst identity from activity and isolates systems during collection, analysis and sharing. Silo routes traffic 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. Investigation tools include capture and annotation, translation, automated collection, multi-site search, encrypted storage and case management. Marketplace apps, extensions and APIs connect with threat-intelligence feeds, case systems and reporting pipelines. Nexus AI provides source-grounded responses and identity-shielded queries; prompts are not retained for model training, according to Authentic8. Administrators can set permissions and capture encrypted, tamper-evident activity logs. Browser access requires no installation. Plans include a 30-day free trial; paid pricing starts at $1,450 per user per year.
