Protecting humans
from AI-native threats

Protecting organizations by continuously detecting, investigating, and containing social engineering threats across every attack surface.

Humans are now the weakest link

Social-engineering, phishing, and spoofing scams resulted in ~$50B globally in losses in 2025. The UN reported cyber fraud in East Asia alone caused $18–37B in losses. AI is turning deception into an industrial-scale operation.

01

The Human Is the Target

Cybersecurity hardened software for two decades, but the highest-ROI target is still the human. AI is making humans dramatically easier to exploit at near-zero marginal cost.

02

AI Supercharges Attackers

Attackers now generate convincing voices, faces, writing styles, fake websites, and emotionally tailored messages. The FBI warned of AI-powered impersonation of senior U.S. officials in 2025.

03

Multi-Channel, Multi-Surface

A modern attack begins with a spoofed email, moves into a messaging app, borrows credibility from a compromised colleague, escalates through a professional network or voice call, and ends in wire fraud or account takeover.

The Solution

Multi-surface defense for an AI-native world

Common Defense protects every major trust surface: personal and work email, messaging apps, social platforms, professional networks, and voice and video calls.

The combined intelligence layer

Cross-Channel Data Moat

Most security tools only see one surface. Common Defense sees the interaction between surfaces — the highest-signal indicators of social engineering appear only when multiple weak signals combine.

Real-Time Attack Intelligence

Every attack encountered improves the system. The network effect of aggregated telemetry creates a compounding advantage that gets harder to replicate over time.

Human Trust + Adversarial Graph

The system models not only known contacts and identities, but how attackers sequence persuasion, urgency, impersonation, and escalation. Much harder to replicate than a spam filter.

Product Breadth = Retention

The more accounts, contacts, and devices connected, the more valuable the product. That improves retention and makes it harder to replace with single-surface substitutes.

How the funnel works
Identity and signature checks clear the bulk in milliseconds. The detection model handles most of the rest. Only the genuinely hard cases reach the slow, expensive LLM.
Bar length = approximate share of all messages that reach this stage — the cheap early stages clear the rest in milliseconds.

World-class AI research meets adversarial security

Common Defense is built by a team of world-class AI researchers and red-team security experts with a track record of securing more than $300 billion of value for 1,000+ organizations, in adversarial domains such as Web3 and AI.

Defending against AI-powered social engineering requires red-team intuition, fast response loops, and deep judgment about adversarial behavior. As AI erodes trust across every digital channel, we're building the defense layer that keeps people and organizations safe.
