Cyber threat intelligence
Structured analysis of adversaries, campaigns, capabilities, intent, and the evidence needed for defensible assessments.
About Shadowall Group
An independent
think tank.
Shadowall Group is an independent think tank and open research platform developing and sharing research at the intersection of cybersecurity, national security, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies.
Our purpose is to turn complex security questions into structured knowledge that can inform practitioners, researchers, institutions, and decision-makers.
01 / Capabilities
Six connected fields. One research mission.
Detection engineering
Threat-informed detection methods, lifecycle governance, correlation logic, and operational frameworks for defenders.
AI-security research
Research across AI system security, agentic risk, assurance, red teaming, governance, and defensive applications of AI.
National-security & hybrid warfare
Assessment of cyber operations, influence activity, economic and information pressure, geopolitical risk, strategic intent, and infrastructure resilience across hybrid conflict environments.
Strategic advisory
Clear, evidence-led perspectives that help leaders frame uncertainty, prioritize risk, and make security decisions.
Emerging technologies
Strategic analysis of quantum technologies, autonomous systems, advanced AI, space and cyber convergence, biotechnology, neurotechnology, human-machine interfaces, and other developments reshaping security and sovereignty.
02 / Leadership
Accountable research begins with identifiable contributors.
FOUNDER / RESEARCHER / CONTRIBUTOR
Yuval Sinay
Yuval Sinay founded Shadowall Group as an independent think tank and open research platform connecting cybersecurity, national security, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. His research interests include cyber threat intelligence, detection engineering, cyber attribution, AI security, hybrid and cognitive warfare, and the translation of complex security questions into practical defensive knowledge.
As founder, researcher, and contributor, he sets the research agenda, develops and maintains public knowledge repositories, and is responsible for the platform’s editorial standards and corrections.
03 / Research methodology
Evidence-led, transparent, reproducible where possible.
From question to defensible judgment.
Shadowall’s methodology adapts established principles from intelligence analytic tradecraft, threat-informed defense, cybersecurity risk management, and open research. It emphasizes source quality, uncertainty, alternative explanations, traceability, and practical defensive relevance.
- 01
Define
State the research question, intended audience, scope, assumptions, and boundaries before collecting evidence.
- 02
Collect
Use lawful public sources, technical documentation, primary evidence, reproducible data, and relevant authoritative standards.
- 03
Evaluate
Assess source credibility, recency, independence, corroboration, potential bias, and important information gaps.
- 04
Analyze
Separate facts from assumptions and judgments; test alternatives; identify uncertainty and competing explanations.
- 05
Validate
Map technical claims to observable evidence, test defensive recommendations, and seek review where appropriate.
- 06
Publish
Present key findings, methods, limitations, sources, confidence, publication date, and practical implications.
- 07
Maintain
Monitor material changes, record corrections, update conclusions when evidence changes, and preserve revision history.
Methodological references: ODNI analytic standards, NIST CSF 2.0, and MITRE threat-informed defense. Shadowall is independent of these organizations and does not claim their endorsement.
04 / Independence
Research is not for sale.
Shadowall Group is independently initiated and operated for open research, education, and collective defensive benefit—not to sell editorial conclusions or accept payment in exchange for predetermined findings. Funding, sponsorship, material assistance, or significant conflicts connected to a publication will be disclosed with that work.
This statement describes editorial purpose and independence. It does not represent that Shadowall Group has registered charity or nonprofit legal status.
05 / Open research
Knowledge should strengthen collective defense.
Shadowall Group publishes frameworks, reference material, defensive tools, and analytical methods openly whenever responsible disclosure and security considerations allow. The work is intended to encourage scrutiny, collaboration, learning, and practical defensive use.
