Outtake

Outtake is a cybersecurity company that operates an agentic digital risk protection platform. Its autonomous AI agents detect, investigate and remove digital identity fraud across external surfaces, including impersonation accounts, malicious look-alike domains, cloned or rogue apps, fraudulent ads and dark web activity. The platform is organized into four protection solutions: brand protection (fake domains, cloned apps, malicious ads), executive protection (impersonation, doxxing, PII leaks, extortion), location protection (event, venue and on-site threats) and product protection (unauthorized resale, trial abuse, token fraud). Work is surfaced through a single console covering detection through takedown, with the company stating it removes analyst queues and ticketing from the workflow.

The company also ships email-related capability: in September 2025 it launched Verify for Email, positioned against business email compromise, bringing cryptographic verification to email. Outtake Labs, its research arm, publishes OSINT and digital risk research and reports on topics such as agent-to-agent trust, brand and executive impersonation, prompt injection and agent manipulation, entity exposure, and digital risk protection intelligence; 2026 outputs include the "State of Digital Risk" report, "State of Executive Impersonation" report and research on agentic attack surfaces.

Outtake was founded in 2023 by Alex Dhillon, previously an engineer at Palantir for nearly five years. The company is based in New York City, with its site citing Brooklyn, NY. As of January 2026 it had 35 employees.
