About us

Who Are We?

We protect AI-based financial automation systems from manipulation, misuse and intentional attacks with AI.

What we do

We discover and prevent financial fraud based on forged documents, manipulated transactions and stolen or synthetic identities.

Our first company, Cognitive Security, was sold to Cisco in 2013. It provided the foundation for what is now Cisco’s Cognitive Threat Analytics (CTA) platform which protects some 25 million users in Fortune 1000 companies.
