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.
Three forces reshaping the threat surface
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.
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.
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.
Built to advance digital trust in an untrusted internet
Outtake Labs is the dedicated research arm of Outtake. Our mission is to advance digital trust in the era of the agentic internet through rigorous OSINT and Digital Risk Protection research powered by the industry's most trusted fleet of agentic security agents.
We don't just study the threat landscape. We operate inside it surfacing emergent risks, building detection frameworks, and delivering intelligence that security and brand teams can use the moment it leaves our lab.
