As digital threats grow more sophisticated, Cyabra continues to help governments and enterprises detect coordinated manipulation and protect digital trust.

New York, NY, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Cyabra, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYAB) (“Cyabra“ or the ”Company“), an artificial intelligence (“AI“)-powered platform that helps governments and enterprises detect coordinated manipulation and protect digital trust, today announced it has been named a “Sample Vendor” in 10 separate 2026 Gartner Hype Cycle reports[1]. The citations span Digital Banking Transformation, Generative AI, AI Governance, Life Science Enterprise Technologies, Artificial Intelligence in Insurance, AI in Supply Chain, Digital Marketing, Intelligent Health, Public Safety and Law Enforcement, and Emerging Technologies.[2]

Across these reports, Cyabra is named under two categories: TrustOps, cited in the Digital Banking Transformation, Artificial Intelligence in Insurance, and Digital Marketing reports. Disinformation Security, cited in the Generative AI, AI Governance, Life Science Enterprise Technologies, AI in Supply Chain, Intelligent Health, Public Safety and Law Enforcement, and Emerging Technologies reports

Cyabra believes its inclusion across two related categories in 10 unrelated industry reports reflects the breadth of demand for coordinated manipulation and authenticity detection as organizations across sectors confront synthetic and inauthentic activity online.

In its Hype Cycle for Digital Marketing, 2026, Gartner assigns the TrustOps category a benefit rating of ”Transformational”, its highest benefit rating, with mainstream adoption expected within two to five years. In its Hype Cycle for AI Governance, 2026, Gartner assigns the Disinformation Security category a benefit rating of ”High”, with mainstream adoption expected within five to ten years. Cyabra believes this reflects a broader shift, as organizations move from treating online manipulation as a communications afterthought to a core operational and governance risk.

Cyabra was recognized as a Market Shaper in the inaugural 2026 Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant™ for Narrative Intelligence - Startup Vendors. Cyabra's full announcement of that recognition is available here. Cyabra believes its inclusion in these reports, together with its recognition in the Emerging Market Quadrant™, reflects both the breadth and depth of the market's shift toward evidence-based authenticity and coordination detection.

Independent of Gartner's research, Cyabra believes it is well positioned to serve this expanding market. The Company's platform analyzes actors, behaviors, and content across digital channels to identify coordinated inauthentic activity and translate it into evidence-based action, and Cyabra has continued to expand its footprint across regulated industries, government agencies, and global enterprises.

“Being named a Sample Vendor across ten Gartner Hype Cycle reports this year is the kind of signal our investors and the broader market watch closely. We believe that it points to a category that's expanding well beyond any single industry, at a moment when enterprise and government investment in this space is accelerating,” said Dan Brahmy, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyabra.

“What this tells the organizations we talk to is that coordinated manipulation isn't a problem they can defer. It's become a cross-functional risk that communications, security, and risk teams all now must plan for”, said David Low, Cyabra's Chief Marketing Officer.
