Closing the gap between automation and expertise in cyber investigations.
We expect discipline, accuracy and reliability from cyber security professionals. They should be able to expect the same from the tools they rely on. Cyber Knowledge Engineering Ltd is a new Irish startup that is working to build cyber security automation that reflects the knowledge and capabilities of domain experts.
“Knowledge gaps in cyber investigations manifest themselves in procedural weaknesses, technical errors, analysis mistakes, misinterpretations, and reporting deficiencies. These knowledge gaps create cascading costs, including time waste, backlogs, inadmissible evidence, flawed analysis, and wrongful outcomes. To overcome these knowledge gaps, there is a need for systematic solutions that enable cyber investigation capabilities to keep up with technological changes and scientific advances while continuously improving quality.”

CKE is building capabilities that enhance cyber investigations with accessible, accurate and reliable knowledge, applied automatically at critical junctures in the investigative process.
Our Approach
Accurate and Reliable
These are not optional in cyber investigations. At CKE our solutions are developed with accuracy and reliability as non-negotiable requirements.
Before any solution is published to a client, it must undergo thorough and rigorous testing against exceptional performance standards. We’re experienced investigators, and we don’t publish tools unless we would use them ourselves.
Human Centered
Modern technology is driving trends to automate increasingly higher portions of our technical work. In cyber investigations we cannot replace the investigator with automation. If you’re a forensic examiner, AI doesn’t testify in court, you do.
At CKE we build solutions to empower and support investigators in their work, while maintaining the central importance of the human professional in the investigative process.
Transparent
Cyber investigation tools cannot produce results based on opaque processes. Processes must be transparent and results must explainable, often in a court of law. If a result cannot be explained, it cannot be trusted.
All CKE solutions are designed to enable introspection into how and why specific results are obtained and presented to the investigator.
Why CKE?At CKE, development of our solutions is led by domain experts with deep expertise in cyber security and digital forensics.
Built by experts for experts, our solutions directly reflect the pressing needs and requirements of cybersecurity and digtial forensics professionals.
Coming soon in 2026.
CKE is a new startup. Our core capabilities are currently in development, and we expect to release our first offerings in Q2 to Q3 of 2026. Stay tuned for more.
