Targeted actor search
Stores and accounts linked to a specific seller, account or group of domains are searched.
For questions that go beyond a standard scan.
Questions such as the network behind a seller, where a product comes from or who owns a group of domains start with a research request. Authex plans the research, scans the sources and brings the results together in a report.

FAQ
Questions about Custom Research
Can several researches run at once?
One research runs per account at a time. Starting a new one stops the open research.
Does a research repeat on a schedule?
No. Custom research is a one-off request; ongoing monitoring uses the scans of the relevant solution.
Where are the results kept?
The report is stored with the research, and results that need tracking are moved into findings.
