Philosophy & Ethics
At Alethea, we believe that organizations deserve clarity in a chaotic digital landscape. Our work is grounded in the idea that timely, accurate intelligence—rooted in real expertise—can help leaders navigate online risks with confidence. We don’t sensationalize threats or offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we equip teams with the tools, context, and guidance they need to make informed decisions, protect what matters most, and stay ahead of emerging challenges.
Dedication
In a largely unregulated space, ethics is at the forefront of everything we do.
Integrity
We will not create, conduct, or condone a disinformation campaign.
Discernment
We do not support clients who undermine institutions that protect us from social media manipulation and online harms.
Our Difference
Alethea surfaces digital threats long before your social listening tool shows they’re trending. Our AI models and analyst insights draw from a unique mix of data sources—collected across the spaces where narratives take root—to detect relevant risks and deliver clear, strategic guidance to mitigate them.
