How Cobra AI Works

Intelligence, Defined

Cobra AI is the cornerstone of IYE’s investigative framework. As our proprietary tool, it is utilised to collect critical intelligence, mitigate risks, conduct thorough investigations, and address the unique challenges faced by our clients.

Whether the objective is to resolve a financial crime, identify a perpetrator, verify an investment, conduct international background checks, or develop a bespoke risk mitigation strategy, Cobra AI offers unrivalled reach, depth, and expertise in both analysis and investigation.

Recognised globally as an unparalleled intelligence resource by leading organisations across business, finance, and risk management, Cobra AI frequently plays a pivotal role in decoding complex scenarios, evaluating risk, supporting strategic decision-making, and guiding legal, or law enforcement actions.

Investigation resources

Clients gain access to Cobra AI’s powerful suite of advanced investigative technologies – including facial recognition, financial asset tracing, anti-money laundering solutions, fraud detection systems, forensic due diligence, and cross-border legal expertise – designed to protect and advance commercial, and investment interests.

How it works

Cobra AI’s unique strength lies in its ability to interrogate over 20 billion dynamic and continually evolving data sets, sourced from a global network of strategic partners and intelligence channels built over four decades.

Leveraging advanced AI and multi-layered recognition technology, Cobra AI aggregates, verifies, refines, and transforms complex data into actionable intelligence.

What sets us apart…

What truly sets Cobra AI apart is not just access to vast information—but how that information is analysed, contextualised, and interpreted.

We prioritise the quality of our information by ensuring that our team of experts thoroughly examines and verify every piece of data before it is shared with our clients.

Facial recognition technology

Facial recognition—Cobra AI’s flagship capability—brings a critical layer of verification to complex investigations by enabling the accurate identification of individuals from photographs and video footage.

Establishing a person’s true (or false) identity is essential to uncovering credible, relevant intelligence. This may include detecting aliases, uncovering links to fraud, corruption, money laundering, financial misconduct, or other dishonest or criminal activities – past or present.

Such intelligence often proves decisive, shaping the direction of investigations and supporting precise, risk-aware decision-making in sensitive commercial or legal contexts.

What problems we solve

Advanced identity risk

We go beyond traditional KYC providers to uncover proxy users, synthetic IDs, and complex identity masking, including deep fakes, and address verification.

Crypto funds recovery

Unlike blockchain tracing tools that stop at wallets, Cobra AI connects crypto trails to real-world banking infrastructure – enabling recovery after the chain ends.

Jurisdictional complexity

We work with global law enforcement partners (e.g. Interpol, Europol, cybercrime units) and jurisdictional legal teams to act
 where others can’t.

Identify perpetrators

Expose the true identity and location of perpetrators
 and known associates, including mules, to support internal fraud investigations or wider legal or law enforcement actions.

Anti-Money laundering

Cobra AI applies sophisticated investigation techniques to expose increasingly complex modus operandi
 used by criminals to avoid detection.

Risk & Compliance

Reduces business and account holder risk, strengthens compliance, limits exposure to regulatory scrutiny, and protects brand reputation.

Tailored to your needs

Cobra AI is designed to protect, detect and advise, using unprecedented investigation methods to combat risk and criminality in all of its forms.

Cobra AI’s extensive resources can be customised to deliver highly specialised, sector-specific risk mitigation and investigative strategies. This not only enhances operational efficiency, but also provides our clients with a distinct competitive advantage and a clearly defined USP.
