Outtake is a digital risk protection company that finds and removes threats to an organisation that live outside its own network: impersonation, fraud, phishing sites, fake domains, malicious apps and dark web activity. It uses autonomous AI agents to search for these threats, investigate who is behind them and take them down.
The platform is built for brands, executives and institutions targeted by attackers who borrow their name, likeness or products.

What Outtake Does
Attackers increasingly work with cloned domains, fake ads, fraudulent apps, executive impersonation, doxxing, counterfeit storefronts and resold access, none of which pass through a company’s firewall. Outtake watches more than 100 platforms, marketplaces and dark web sources for these signals and traces each one back to the wider adversarial network that produced it, so a takedown removes the operation rather than a single page.
The work is done by agents running in parallel, with no ticket queue or analyst gate between detection and takedown, and Outtake reports an average takedown time of 14.4 hours. Results feed an organisation’s existing security stack rather than replacing it.
Products
Brand Protection
Brand Protection deals with the cloned domains, fake ads and fraudulent apps that trade on a company’s identity. It recognises phishing sites by their copied visual identity rather than their URL, and fake apps that copy its branding while leaving out the company name, then files takedowns across every infrastructure provider involved.
Executive Protection
Senior leaders are targeted with impersonation, fraud, credential theft and blackmail. Executive Protection looks for doxxed home addresses and leaked personal data, and for deepfakes and cloned voices across text, image, video and audio, with roughly 15 minutes from signal to alert.
Product Protection
Companies with free tiers, trials or paid API access face abuse such as trial credit harvesting, grey market storefronts and token fraud. Product Protection monitors these access channels, finds forum threads reselling harvested API tokens, and maps the resale network behind a single unauthorised listing.
Location Protection And Narrative Intelligence
Location Protection monitors threats to venues and events. Narrative Intelligence follows coordinated narratives back to the actors spreading them.
How It Works
The platform is built from a small set of components that share one store of context.
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Agentic Search | Continuously monitors the customer’s digital footprint across social platforms, messaging, domains, the dark web, advertising, app stores and code repositories, handling text, image, video and audio natively. |
| Digital Reservoir | Holds context on entities, suspicious variants, fraudulent assets, adversaries and takedown evidence, so each new case draws on everything seen before. |
| Threat Graph | Maps adversarial networks and links coordinated narratives to their actors. |
| Recon Agent | Takes a single signal, traces it to its origin and expands it across the adversarial network. |
| Adaptive Workflows | Routes each threat into a response path. Reinforcement learning from each completed takedown improves both the routing and the next search and investigation. |
| Security operations integration | Findings flow into the customer’s SIEM, SOAR and ticketing systems through standard integrations and the Model Context Protocol. |
