About

Outtake builds an agentic digital-risk protection platform for enterprise security teams, covering digital identity surfaces and coordinated impersonation threats across the web. Its differentiator is a unified, always-on layer that investigates and disrupts cross-channel campaigns instead of forcing teams to stitch together point tools and manual workflows. Customers include enterprises such as OpenAI, Pershing Square, Fortescue, and AppLovin, as well as federal agencies.

Market

Outtake competes in digital risk protection and AI-powered cybersecurity, protecting brands, executives, locations, products, and online identities across websites, app stores, social media, advertisements, marketplaces, and dark-web sources. Its positioning is differentiated by autonomous agents that investigate connected threat campaigns and execute or coordinate takedowns, rather than relying primarily on analyst queues; the company reports average takedown times of roughly 14 hours and emphasizes continuous improvement through agentic search and reinforcement learning. The closest named competitors include Allure Security, ForceField, and DuckDuckGoose, while ZeroFox, Bolster AI, and BrandShield are overlapping digital-risk and brand-protection providers.

Target Customers

Outtake targets enterprise organizations and high-profile brands with significant digital attack surfaces, including mobile-advertising platforms, luxury retailers, AI companies, and government agencies. Its primary buyers and users are CISOs, cybersecurity teams, security operations personnel, and legal or brand-protection teams that need to investigate and remove impersonation, fraud, phishing, and related threats at scale.

At a Glance

Problem

Outtake addresses the growing difficulty of protecting an organization’s digital identity and reputation from AI-enabled fraud. Attackers can rapidly create convincing impersonation accounts, lookalike domains, cloned apps, fraudulent ads, and other deceptive assets across many channels. The underlying operational pain is that detection and remediation have traditionally been a manual, analyst-heavy process, while AI-driven attackers operate faster and at greater scale. The clearest use case is brand impersonation and phishing: finding the connected infrastructure behind a fake domain or social account and removing the broader campaign before it harms customers, executives, or the brand.

The economics are primarily about response speed, labor capacity, and campaign scale. Outtake says its systems scanned 20 million potential cyberattacks in 2025, while its platform describes legacy protection as an analyst queue that cannot keep pace with modern threats. A single campaign can involve 40 or more connected nodes across five or more platforms, making one-at-a-time takedowns inefficient and prone to whack-a-mole remediation.

Product / Service

Outtake offers an agentic digital risk protection platform in which autonomous AI agents search across an organization’s digital surface, investigate threats, map relationships among assets, and execute remediation. Its open-source-intelligence collection scans public environments for relevant text, images, video, and audio, while its threat graph links domains, apps, social accounts, advertisements, hosting, registration patterns, and other signals to expose the operation behind an attack. The platform is positioned as a unified enterprise service with integrations into registrars, hosts, social platforms, app stores, ad networks, and security operations tools.

The benefit is automated response at machine speed rather than a ticket queue or analyst gate. Outtake reports a 99.4% takedown confirmation rate and a 14.4-hour average resolution time, with reinforcement learning intended to make the agent fleet more effective as it handles additional takedowns. Beyond brand protection, the platform covers executive impersonation, location and event threats, product abuse, token fraud, and other forms of digital risk.

Market

Outtake competes in cybersecurity, specifically the emerging digital risk protection market spanning brand protection, digital identity protection, external threat intelligence, anti-phishing, and automated takedown services. Its positioning is broader than a single brand-monitoring tool because it combines agentic search, threat intelligence, investigation, and response across domains, social platforms, apps, advertisements, and the dark web. CB Insights identifies Allure Security, ForceField, and DuckDuckGoose as top competitors, while adjacent alternatives include Bolster, Proofpoint, and ZeroFox.

Outtake is not pre-revenue. Founded in 2023, it names OpenAI, Pershing Square, AppLovin, and federal agencies as customers, and reported sixfold year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue and more than tenfold customer-base growth. The company raised a $40 million Series B in early 2026, bringing total funding to $60 million, and said its systems scanned 20 million potential cyberattacks in the prior year. Absolute revenue, customer count, and pricing were not disclosed, but the funding, named customers, usage, and recurring-revenue growth indicate early commercial traction rather than a pre-revenue company.
