Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT) (“Cognyte”), a global leader in software-driven technology for investigative analytics, today announced the availability of a new threat trends report, “Crime Goes Digital Native: The Impact of Gen Z & Alpha on Law Enforcement.”

WHAT: “Crime Goes Digital Native” shows how the next generations – Gen Z, Gen Alpha and soon Gen Beta – are rapidly reshaping the nature of crime and public safety.

WHO: The report will be useful for the following readers:

• Law enforcement leaders and investigators
• Cybercrime, digital forensics and intelligence units
• Public safety agencies and fusion centers
• Homeland security, justice and regulatory officials
• Policymakers focused on tech, youth behavior and public safety
• Schools, universities and campus security teams
• Child protection and youth-focused organizations
• Trust & safety, security and compliance teams at tech platforms
• Social media, gaming and AI companies
• Researchers studying crime, youth behavior or digital ecosystems

WHERE: The report is available for download here.

WHY: Gen Z and Gen Alpha – and soon Gen Beta – are not just “kids online.” They are AI-fluent, toggling between platforms and spending time in digital spaces that are difficult for law enforcement to monitor, from encrypted group chats to gaming worlds and disappearing DMs. While regulators are still trying to keep pace with crypto crime, deepfakes and rapidly evolving online platforms, younger users are already creating new norms that speed up how scams, influence campaigns and emerging threats take hold.

This is not simply a cultural shift; it is a structural one, changing how crimes occur and pushing law enforcement to rethink investigations, prevention and digital preparedness. The report offers a clear, timely view of that shift – and why agencies need to adjust now.
