BforeAI

BforeAI was co-founded by CEO Luigi Lenguito alongside Chief Automation Officer Luciano Allegro and CTO Sebastian Cesario. The firm is headquartered in New York with a second office in Puteaux, France. It delivers a predictive cybersecurity platform called PreCrime, which monitors over 500 million infrastructures continuously and uses behavioral AI to forecast malicious domains and impersonation campaigns before they are weaponized. The platform spans multiple threat vectors — phishing, spoofing, impersonation, ransomware, and brandjacking — and serves clients across financial services, manufacturing, retail, and entertainment. BforeAI integrates via API with existing endpoint detection systems, including Microsoft Defender and CrowdStrike Falcon Insight, and automates takedowns through registrars, hosters, and ISPs, with 93% completed before malicious content appears. It partners with disruption networks such as Spamhaus and VirusTotal. A disclosed case study cites an Italian bank — Volksbank — saving $800,000 in 15 days by stopping more than 20 phishing and impersonation attacks. BforeAI has been named in over 40 Gartner reports, including the Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2024 and Cool Vendors for AI in Banking and Investment Services. The firm claims a false-positive rate below 0.05% and 98% top-level domain coverage. In addition to its enterprise platform, BforeAI runs an invite-only "Prediction Tour" for CISOs to discuss the future of cybersecurity over private dinners. BforeAI’s structural distinction lies in its fully automated, preemptive architecture. Rather than relying on reactive blacklists, crowdsourced phishing reports, or post-incident analyst reviews, the firm's predictive models detect and neutralize attacker infrastructure before campaigns begin — reframing cybersecurity from a detection-and-response function to a left-of-boom disruption capability.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does BforeAI's PreCrime platform do?

PreCrime is a predictive cybersecurity platform that monitors over 500 million digital infrastructures. It uses behavioral AI to anticipate malicious campaigns — phishing, spoofing, ransomware, or impersonation — before they strike. The platform automates detection, disruption, and takedown by working with registrars, ISPs, and threat-sharing networks like Spamhaus and VirusTotal.

How does PreCrime differ from traditional detection-and-response tools?

Traditional security vendors typically rely on reactive feeds — crowdsourced phishing reports, domain blacklists, and manual analyst reviews after damage has occurred. BforeAI flips that model by predicting attacks before they launch, using infrastructure fingerprinting, cloaking detection, and global malicious-infrastructure correlation. It claims to predict campaigns an average of 18 days ahead of other threat intelligence providers.

Does BforeAI integrate with existing security stacks?

Yes, PreCrime connects via API and complements endpoint detection and response (EDR) software such as Microsoft Defender and CrowdStrike Falcon Insight. It is designed to run alongside existing tools, providing preemptive threat intelligence while EDR monitors for active breaches.

Is PreCrime fully automated?

The platform runs 24/7 without manual intervention. Users access a dashboard for ongoing performance metrics, but threat identification, verification, and takedown processes execute automatically. BforeAI states that 93% of takedowns are completed before malicious content becomes active.

What is BforeAI's false-positive rate?

BforeAI claims a false-positive rate below 0.05%, with more than 98% coverage of top-level domains. The firm emphasizes precision to avoid overwhelming security teams with noise, a common complaint among reactive intelligence feeds.

Who are BforeAI's leadership and investors?

The company is led by co-founders Luigi Lenguito (CEO), Luciano Allegro (Chief Automation Officer), and Sebastian Cesario (CTO). The website lists investors and partners but does not disclose specific fund names or recent funding rounds publicly.

What does BforeAI's partnership ecosystem look like?

BforeAI maintains disruption partnerships with organizations including Spamhaus, VirusTotal, and NetBeacon. These collaborations allow the platform to seed detected infrastructure with detection markers across the threat-sharing ecosystem, suppressing attacker campaigns even if the technical infrastructure remains online.
