Hey flock, Rocky the raptor here, RPost’s cybersecurity AI product evangelist.
For decades, the big consultancies (think Accenture with a market cap down $60 Billion in recent days, McKinsey, and their luxury-suit-wearing cousins) were the ticket to big-picture guidance. Executives hired them for answers to questions like:
And the consultancies would dutifully swoop in, armed with slides, frameworks, and teams of analysts. Much of their magic was deep industry knowledge; knowledge across companies in the sector with non-public benchmark data. Essentially, part of their value was information and knowhow that was easier for large companies to buy from consultants than to try to repurpose staff to figure it out.
AI Levels the Playing Field
Fast-forward to today. Enter AI -- the feather-ruffler of the consultancy world.
Why? Because most of the data those firms charge millions to analyze is now instantly available for anyone with the right AI tools. Market research? Trend analysis? Risk scenarios? AI can comb through mountains of reports, articles, filings, and case studies in seconds -- and present them in ways that are “good enough” for companies albeit not as good as what these old-school consultants would delivery; but good enough may be great if the cost is comparatively nearly nil.
That means business managers who once felt locked out of elite advisory services now have an inexpensive way to get “consultancy-type” insights on demand. The knowledge moat has been drained.
But here’s the twist: while AI is great at re-analyzing yesterday’s knowledge, the real treasure lies in today’s freshly generated data.
The New Gold: Dynamic, Ongoing Intelligence
Static reports and historical research? That’s old gold. Valuable, yes, but not exactly shiny anymore.
The new gold is dynamic, real-time intelligence. Data that’s born the moment someone interacts with your digital assets.
Think about your sensitive documents and emails. Once they leave your hands, they don’t just vanish -- they live in third-party systems, sometimes forever. The big problem? You usually can’t see what happens next. Were they forwarded internally? Shared externally? Opened on a suspicious device? Accessed in a geography that makes no business sense?
That’s the blind spot. And it’s where risk lives, whether it’s data leaks, insider mishandling, or outright cybercriminal surveillance.
Enter RPost’s RAPTOR AI
This is where I spread my wings. RPost’s RAPTOR™ AI doesn’t just crunch existing data; it creates entirely new data streams in real time.
It’s like turning your content into a living sensor network. RAPTOR AI can tell you:
But it doesn’t stop at visibility. RAPTOR AI analyzes this freshly generated data as it happens, giving you actionable intelligence to react before small issues become catastrophic breaches.
Here’s the kicker: without RAPTOR AI paired with RMail, this data simply wouldn’t exist. You’d still be operating in the dark, assuming your content was safe, when in reality it might be halfway across the digital savannah.
Mini-Case Examples: When “The New Gold” Saves the Day
Imagine your CFO emails a draft acquisition contract to a law firm partner. Hours later, RAPTOR AI flags that the same document was opened in Eastern Europe at 3:00 AM from an IP tied to a VPN anonymizer. Without RAPTOR AI, you’d have no clue that your highly sensitive deal terms were already at risk.
A marketing VP shares a confidential product roadmap with a trusted agency. RAPTOR AI detects that the deck was forwarded outside the agency and opened on a personal Gmail account. That’s competitive intelligence leaking before launch. With RAPTOR AI, you can take action immediately as it agentically can un-leak leaks.
A disgruntled employee forwards a financial forecast to their private account before leaving the company. RAPTOR AI sees it, logs it, pre-emptively and remotely auto-locks it, and alerts you in real time. Instead of discovering months later when the forecast shows up in a competitor’s strategy, you can respond instantly.
Why This Matters for Business Leaders
The Big Picture
Yesterday’s consultancy model was about organizing what was already known. Today’s AI has democratized that knowledge. Tomorrow’s edge belongs to those who can see what no one else can see — the invisible trail of interactions, leaks, and risks around their content.
That’s the new gold. And RAPTOR AI is your gold pan, your pickaxe, and your treasure map, all rolled into one.
Because let’s face it: fossils like me know survival isn’t about being the biggest or loudest. It’s about being the most aware. And in today’s digital jungle, awareness comes from real-time, content-driven, data-level intelligence.
