How it works

From synthetic identity to adversary intelligence.

Build the person. Deploy controlled exposure. Observe who approaches. Engage within policy. Correlate what they reveal across the full attack stack.

01 / Persona

Create someone believable.

A synthetic identity begins as a coherent person—not a disconnected inbox. Every detail supports the same role, history, organization, and digital life.

02 / Exposure

Create controlled exposure.

Selected parts of Sarah’s synthetic identity can be made reachable or discoverable. Every surface is deliberate, governed, and built to protect real people—not target them.

03 / Contact

Observe who approaches.

Every inbound signal returns to the persona timeline so sequence and context survive across human, identity, web, edge, and agentic channels.

04 / Conversation

Observation becomes interaction.

stickysweet conducts controlled exchanges within persona and safety boundaries so an approach can reveal intent while analysts retain visibility, evidence, and stop control.

Hi Sarah, this is Alex from Microsoft support. I need you to verify your account before access is suspended.

SARAH · GOVERNED AGENT · 14:14

I can’t share credentials. What team are you with, and what case number should I give our internal IT desk?

EXTERNAL · 14:15

Global Account Services. Case MS-88419. Use the verification page I sent.

05 / Adversary

Make them reveal more than an alert can.

A conversation adds context to identity, application, and edge signals: who the contact claims to be, what they want, how they operate, which infrastructure supports the approach, and where the sequence is likely to go next.

Campaign intelligence

These are not three independent alerts.

Three alerts can be one adversary. stickysweet correlates persona, identity, edge, infrastructure, and behavioral signals into one campaign view so the SOC sees the operation—not just the events.

07 / Analyst experience

Move from event to understanding.

The intelligence model gives security teams a campaign view across related activity, while agentic analysis extracts observables, intent, and relationships faster than manual event-by-event triage.

TRADITIONAL ALERT
“What happened?”

One event. One channel. One point in time.

STICKYSWEET INTELLIGENCE MODEL
“Who is doing this, what are they trying to achieve, and who else are they targeting?”

Human, identity, web, edge, infrastructure, AI, behavior, and campaign context.

The operating architecture

One connected intelligence system.

Each layer preserves context for the next, turning controlled identity exposure and sensor activity into a proprietary SOC dataset that can be understood at campaign scale.

From attention to data advantage

Turn adversary attention into full-stack intelligence.

Generate proprietary telemetry your SOC can correlate, hunt, retain, and operationalize.
