Description

Cognyte Software Ltd is an Israeli company that develops analytics software and is known to be a notorious surveillance vendor. Cognyte, currently located in Herzliya, Israel, shares an address with Verint and now provides cyberintelligence services similar to those previously offered by Verint. An investigation by Haaretz uncovered that Cognyte's mass surveillance technology has been sold to Myanmar in recent years. Its software was also unlawfully utilized by Brazil’s intelligence agency to monitor and intimidate prominent politicians, journalists, judges, and environmental officials in the country during Jair Bolsonaro’s far-right administration. In 2022, Cognyte sold a portion of their intelligence analytics software to the Volaris Group, a Canadian private equity firm, for US $47.5 million. The company also brought on Nadav Argaman, the former director of Israel’s internal security service Shin Bet, as a strategic senior advisor to continue developing closer ties to Israel’s intelligence establishment.
