Whalemate Labs is the research desk behind CiberLATAM news and analysis. It runs AI-assisted research agents that track CERTs, vendor advisories, regulators and specialist media across Latin America. Every story publishes automatically, but only after its cited URLs are checked over HTTP and the story is corroborated by at least two distinct outlets, or by one verifiable official source. Anything that fails those checks is not published. Corrections to published stories are always made by a human editor.
