The Threat Landscape

The agentic internet arrived before security was ready

51%

of all global internet traffic in 2024 was automated bots outnumbering human activity for the first time in history

703%

surge in phishing attacks powered by AI, targeting brand, executive, and partner identities at machine scale

300%

increase in AI bot activity in the past year alone most of it operating without any identity verification or trust layer

Research Focus Area

Where the agentic internet and digital trust collide

Agent-to-Agent Trust

How AI agents identify, authenticate, and decide whether to trust another agent and the attack vectors that emerge when they can't.

Brand & Executive Impersonation

OSINT-driven research into how threat actors clone brand identity, spoof executives, and weaponize digital presence against employees and customers.

Entity Exposure & Readiness

Mapping the hidden connections between brands, partners, and affiliates to surface emergent exposure before attackers exploit it.

Prompt Injection & Agent Manipulation

Studying how malicious content in the wild forums, feeds, and search results hijacks AI agent behavior at scale.

Digital Risk Protection Intelligence

Tracking the dark web, open internet, and agentic platforms for signals that indicate imminent brand, employee, or infrastructure attacks.

Agentic Security Fleet Research

Building the operational playbooks, detection models, and response frameworks that power Outtake’s fleet of agent security agents.

Why it Matters Now?

Three forces reshaping
the threat surface

01

The internet went agentic

AI agents now outnumber humans online. They act, decide, and communicate autonomously with no inherent trust layer, no verified identity, and no built-in safeguards against manipulation. The attack surface isn't just bigger. It's a different shape entirely.
02

Brand is a target, not just an asset

Attackers don't just breach systems they impersonate brands, clone executives, and embed in the trust that organizations spend years building. In the agentic internet, a single injected prompt can redirect a customer, compromise a partner, or expose an employee.
03

Speed of AI outpaces human response

The window between threat detection and response is collapsing. Security teams need agents that can see, decide, and act faster than the attackers without waiting for what already happened.
