Put AI agents on payments and trades. Proof, consent, and a signed record on every move.

Every agent gets a cryptographic identity. Every transaction it initiates gets human or agent consent, bound to the amount and the counterparty, and written to a record your auditors can verify. The same proof covers your customers and your back office.

Fake the face. Clone the voice.
You still can't sign.

A wire clears today because someone on the call looked and sounded right. We make the release require a cryptographic cosign from two real people. A deepfake produces no key, so the money stays put.

People·The approver

The person releasing the money proves who they are with a key only they hold. No face to trust, no voice to fake.

Actions·The release

Every high-value transfer is signed and human-cosigned, policy-bound, in a tamper-evident record. No signature, no release.

The case this reconstructs (25.6 million dollars wired across fifteen transfers after a fully deepfaked video call) is cited in the evidence rail, not drawn here.

The consequential action

An authenticated agent can still move the money.
So the transaction needs consent, and a signed record.

A valid credential gets an agent in the door. It says nothing about whether the wire is safe to send. So every consequential transaction takes consent, human-in-the-loop or a supervising agent, bound to the amount and counterparty, and lands in a record your auditors can verify.

Consent bound to a transaction's exact amount and counterparty, sealed to a verifiable recordAn AI agent initiates a transaction with a specific amount and counterparty. Consent from a person and a supervising agent is cryptographically bound to those exact parameters, and the released transaction is sealed into an auditor-verifiable, tamper-evident record. A transaction whose amount or counterparty does not match the consent is held and not released.BOUND TRANSACTIONAMOUNT$2,400,000COUNTERPARTYacct 0x7F4A2C1BPERSONhuman in the loopSUPERVISINGAGENTagent in the loopCONSENT BOUND TO THIS AMOUNT AND COUNTERPARTYSEALED · AUDITOR-VERIFIABLErecord 0x9F3D2A7BINTENT MISMATCH · HELD$9,900,000acct 0x3C9B7D04

Actions·The consent

A person or a supervising agent approves the transaction, bound to its exact amount and counterparty. Not a blanket approval.

Actions·The record

Every transaction and approval is signed into a tamper-evident record your auditors can verify, without taking our word.

The losses

Reports held flat.
More of them are working.

The number of fraud reports barely moved. What changed is how often a report ended in a loss, from 27 percent to 38 percent in a single year. The dollars followed.

The kill chain

Walk the attacker's path.
We protect every step.

The red-team view, not a scare story. Four moves, the way the money actually leaves, and what stops each.

  1. 01

    A call to the contact center. A cloned voice, a stolen SSN, the last four of everything. The IVR lets it through.[3]

    Protect
    Voice

    Cryptographic caller verification, not knowledge questions or a voiceprint. A cloned voice has nothing to present.

  2. 02

    A deepfake executive on a video call. An urgent wire. A treasury approval that clears an email and a callback.[2][4]

    Protect
    People/Actions

    Per-transaction cryptographic cosign. Every signer is a real, proven person, and a deepfake can't sign.

  3. 03

    Credential stuffing and attacker-in-the-middle proxies on the banking web and app.[5]

    Protect
    Web

    Origin-bound FIDO2. Stolen-credential lists and proxy kits have nothing to replay.

  4. 04

    A service-account secret on the payment rail, unrotated for years, stolen and replayed.[6][7]

    Protect
    Machine

    Per-call signed identity (RFC 7523). The private key never leaves the caller, so there's no standing secret to steal.

The credential that drains the payment ledger won't belong to a person.

Coverage

Every surface a customer, an approver, or a service touches.
One rail under all of them.

Voice and People carry the fraud story, so they lead. The other six aren't a feature list. They're the rest of the attack surface, covered.

Voice

Contact center and IVR. Cryptographic proof, not KBA or a voiceprint.

People

Wire and treasury approvals, and the help desk. A deepfake produces no signature.

ActionsPer-transaction cosign. Policy-bound, tamper-evident.
Web

Banking web and app login. Origin-bound, credential-stuffing-proof.

Machine

Payment-rail service accounts. Every call signed.

Bot

Back-office RPA and servicing bots. Ephemeral tokens, full attribution.

Agent

Servicing and fraud-ops AI agents. Scoped and revocable.

Workload

Core and payment workloads. Bound to where they run.

Frontline

Branch and teller. One phishing-resistant identity, federated.

The regulatory picture

Regulators are writing the rules against deepfakes.
We were built for them.

NYDFS now steers covered entities off SMS, voice, and video toward proof a deepfake can't produce. PCI 4.0 extends phishing-resistant MFA to everything touching cardholder data. We cover the hard ones, and what comes next.

IN FORCE

NYDFS . 23 NYCRR Part 500[8]

Section 500.12 reached full scope on November 1, 2025: MFA for all access to all information systems. To beat AI deepfakes, DFS guidance steers off SMS, voice, and video toward physical security keys and digital certificates.

Phishing-resistant FIDO2 across customers, employees, and privileged access, aligned to NIST SP 800-63-4 AAL3, federated into your IdP.

IN FORCE

PCI DSS 4.0 . Req 8.4.2[9]

Since March 31, 2025, MFA is mandatory for all access into the cardholder data environment, not just admins, and it must be phishing-resistant and replay-resistant.

Origin-bound, replay-resistant authentication for every CDE-touching system and terminal.

GUIDANCE

FFIEC . Authentication and Access

FFIEC guidance calls single-factor authentication inadequate for high-risk access and flags the risk of push-payment fraud.

Phishing-resistant MFA across the channels the guidance covers. We line up with the authentication expectation. The fraud-monitoring expectation is a separate control we sit alongside.

Why now

The threats and the rules are escalating together.

Every major incident pulls the next regulation tighter. Here is two years of it, and what we protect against each.

How we fit

We make the stack you already run provable, end to end.

A skeptical CISO has heard the pitch. Here is exactly how we slot in.

  • 01

    We federate into your Okta, Entra, Ping, or ForgeRock and make every identity on them cryptographic.

  • 02

    We prove the right person authorized the transfer. Your scam monitoring covers the customer talked into authorizing it themselves.

  • 03

    We remove the need to trust a face or a voice at all.

  • 04

    We're the identity control plane. Your fraud-decisioning stack stays the risk brain.
