Cyabra has appointed Keith E. Noble, Ph.D. as Vice President of U.S. Government Sales as the company expands its public sector operations amid growing demand for narrative intelligence across federal, state and local agencies.

Noble will oversee the expansion of Cyabra’s AI-powered narrative intelligence platform across government entities. The company supports governments and public institutions addressing influence operations, information warfare and coordinated online manipulation.

Cyabra said its public sector business has recently reached several milestones, including expanded government distribution through a strategic distribution relationship with Carahsoft, the addition of a major European public sector client and recognition as a Market Shaper in Gartner’s inaugural June 2026 Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence — Startup Vendors.

The company said the Carahsoft relationship is intended to streamline procurement for public sector institutions while the European customer will use Cyabra to combat regional digital threats.

“Governments worldwide are confronting an unprecedented threat environment online, driving a growing need for proactive narrative intelligence,” said Cyabra Chief Revenue Officer Emmanuel Heymann. “Our growth, marked by key wins and industry recognition, reflects how vital our capabilities have become to public sector institutions and Keith’s deep background in national security and open-source intelligence makes him uniquely equipped to lead our U.S. public sector expansion as we scale to meet this demand.”

Noble brings more than 20 years of experience leading complex, multi-jurisdictional operations across four continents. He has built and directed large-scale intelligence enterprises at the CIA’s Open-Source Center, driven data strategy and advanced analytics at the U.S. Department of State and co-founded an international open-source intelligence firm in Abu Dhabi serving government and private sector clients across the Middle East.

The company said Noble’s background in national security, open-source intelligence and data analytics will support efforts to expand the use of Cyabra’s platform among public sector organizations seeking to identify and understand coordinated and inauthentic online activity.

“I have seen first-hand the kind of disruption that misinformation can have on public institutions,” said Noble. “With tools like generative AI lowering the cost of producing inauthentic content, public sector leaders need clear, structured insight into online threats. Cyabra’s technology is designed to help distinguish authentic discourse from orchestrated manipulation, helping leaders to make confident, data-driven decisions.”

Cyabra’s technology analyzes billions of digital interactions across multiple social media platforms and is designed to distinguish authentic human conversations from orchestrated malicious influence operations. The company said the technology provides public sector organizations with actionable data and narrative intelligence to understand how narratives spread online, who is driving them and develop evidence-based responses to coordinated manipulation.

The platform analyzes three foundational elements of information integrity: actors, behaviors and content. Cyabra also offers an AI agent designed to automatically investigate coordinated online activity, helping institutions identify what is organized and meaningful while deprioritizing activity that does not require attention.

Cyabra said it expects demand for proactive narrative defense and authenticity verification to continue growing across the public sector as the digital threat landscape evolves.
