Products & Solutions
Maltego Graph
The core investigation platform, offering visual link analysis for large-scale, multifaceted investigations. Investigators can pull data from built-in OSINT sources, commercial intelligence feeds and internal databases simultaneously, mapping connections between entities such as people, domains, IP addresses and organisations. Available as both a desktop application and browser-based tool.
Maltego One
A browser-based investigation platform launched in October 2025 that unifies the full Maltego product suite under a single login. It requires no desktop installation or manual setup, supports end-to-end encrypted case management and is designed to make advanced OSINT analysis accessible to investigators at all experience levels.
Maltego Search
A quick OSINT lookup tool for starting investigations from a starting point such as an email address, alias, phone number, name or domain. Designed to accelerate the initial phase of a person-of-interest investigation without requiring a full graph-based workflow.
Maltego Monitor
Provides real-time monitoring across 200+ social media platforms with AI-driven sentiment analysis and customisable dashboards. Originally acquired as Social Network Harvester in 2024, it enables investigators to track keywords, actors and risk signals continuously rather than reactively.
Maltego Evidence
Enables anonymous collection and preservation of social media evidence using sock puppet accounts, maintaining chain of custody documentation for use in legal proceedings or internal investigations. Originally acquired as PublicSonar in 2024.
Maltego Data
A unified data access layer providing out-of-the-box access to curated OSINT and commercial intelligence datasets covering person-of-interest investigations, cyber threat intelligence, dark web, cryptocurrency tracing and corporate research. Operates on a credit-based consumption model.
