Disruption as a Force for Good: Why We Built PreCrime™ to Stop Threats Before They Strike

When we started BforeAI, we knew we didn’t want to build just another threat intelligence company. The world already had enough tools that were reactive, that alerted security teams after an attack was underway, or worse, after it had already succeeded. Our conviction was simple: if we know how attackers work, and if we can observe and predict the signals of their preparation phases, we should be able to disrupt the attack before it starts.

That idea became PreCrime, a predictive engine for cyber disruption. But prediction alone isn’t enough. Disruption is where the impact happens. It’s where technology, intelligence, and purpose converge to stop harm before it reaches its victims.

The Problem with “Detect and Respond”

Traditional cybersecurity has long followed a detect-and-respond model. You wait for an alert, you analyze the signal, you triage it, and you respond, often minutes, hours, or days after the threat is already live.

But let’s be honest. Given the level of sophistication of modern cyber threats and their ability to quickly cascade into deeper problems, that’s too late.

Phishing campaigns, impersonation attacks, and credential theft schemes happen in seconds. Once the scam is live, the damage spreads quickly: stolen credentials, unauthorized access, brand trust destroyed, and users left confused, defrauded, and exposed.

That’s why we don’t just predict and alert. We disrupt.

What Disruption Really Means

At BforeAI, “disruption” is an actual feature of our PreCrime platform, not a word to describe how we are changing the market (although that’s true, too). In our context, disruption means breaking the kill chain at its earliest possible stage. We do this through a unique mix of:

• AI-powered early identification of malicious infrastructure as it’s being set up
• Automated verification of impersonation and threat intent
• AI agent-based takedown management
• Instant distribution of confirmed threats to our disruption network, which includes:
  • DNS resolvers (like Quad9)
  • Endpoint security vendors
  • Safe browsing engines
  • Threat feeds
  • Other filtering and enforcement platforms

As soon as a domain is confirmed as malicious, even if the phishing kit hasn’t been fully deployed, we move to neutralize it. In over 80 percent of cases, the takedown or disruption occurs before the infrastructure even contains content.

That means no phishing email gets sent, no user gets tricked, and no brand gets hurt.

Disruptions: Real-World Impact, Measurable at Scale

Let’s talk numbers.

Through our partnership with Quad9, we are currently blocking more than 20 million DNS requests per day to malicious domains that impersonate brands. These are access attempts from real users, people who could have become victims, stopped at the DNS layer thanks to our predictive data.

And that’s just one partner.

With more distribution nodes in place, from browser security engines to mobile OS filters and threat intel consumers, we estimate the amplification of our disruption data to be 20 to 50 times higher, meaning hundreds of millions of scam attempts are blocked daily. These numbers reflect not just the scale of the threat, but also the scale of the opportunity to prevent harm.

This isn’t hypothetical. This is happening now, and it’s preventing real people from becoming victims.

Why Disruption Matters Beyond Brands

Yes, brand protection is a big driver in all of this. When someone impersonates your company, they’re hijacking your reputation to commit fraud. They’re turning your logo, your name, and your customer trust into a weapon. Our customers rely on PreCrime to stop that, not just to defend their brands, but to protect their customers and their market credibility.

But there’s another side to this.

Scams hurt people. They target the vulnerable: elderly users, less technical consumers, people in distress. They lead to financial losses, identity theft, psychological damage, and shame. We’ve all seen it. Some of us have lived it through people we care about.

At BforeAI, we take that personally. We’re not just stopping phishing kits. We’re preventing human consequences.

Disruption is not just a technical feature. It’s a social imperative. We’re using AI not just to protect organizations, but to shield the public from deception. That’s what motivates our team. That’s what makes the mission matter.

Applied Innovation with a Mission

I’ve been building infrastructure and AI systems for a long time, and one thing I’ve learned is this: innovation isn’t about sophistication. It’s about impact.

We don’t build technology to impress. We build it to work. PreCrime was designed to deliver real-world results, and it does.

• It catches threats before they’re live
• It neutralizes them before users can reach them
• It partners with the right enforcement networks to scale fast
• It creates predictive, distributed protection, not just alerts

Every time a domain is flagged, every time a DNS query is blocked, every time a phishing site never goes live, we’re winning.

And we’re doing it with zero intrusion, zero client integration, and zero added friction for end users.

What’s Next for Disruption

This is just the beginning. The threat environment is constantly evolving, and so are we. We’re investing heavily in:

• Expanding our disruption partner ecosystem, including new collaborations in browser-level filtering, mail gateways, registrars, and mobile networks
• Reducing our detection-to-disruption window to near real time.
• Enriching our feedback loop with telemetry to continuously fine-tune our detection models
• Making disruption smarter, faster, and more preemptive every day

In the near future, we aim to cover not only domain-based scams but other abuse vectors: fake social profiles, scam ads, rogue mobile apps, and more.

Final Thoughts on Disruption

Disruption isn’t just a feature of our platform. It’s a principle.

It means doing the work to stop threats before they reach users. It means using AI not for novelty, but for public safety. It means turning brand protection into a shield for everyone, from corporations to grandparents.

At BforeAI, we’re building technology to serve that mission. And that, to me, is the most fulfilling kind of innovation.
