Attackers scale with AI.
Now you can, too.

AI has pushed the cost of running an attack close to zero, while analyst headcount stays flat. With generative AI, the time needed to craft a convincing phishing email fell from about 16 hours to 5 minutes (IBM X-Force, 2023). Attack volume compounds and review capacity does not. Overwatch uses AI agents to run collection, triage and automated intelligence investigations, so a team’s capacity grows with the threat.

One platform matters because attackers already work across all three dimensions. A single threat actor can show up as a compromised account in the security queue, a fraud pattern in payments and a fake merchant application in onboarding. Teams in separate tools each see one piece, but leveraging digital forensics and threat intelligence can help show the network behind the threat. That is why Overwatch treats fraud threat intelligence and cyber threat intelligence as one discipline, collecting and prioritizing signals across cyber, fraud, brand and merchant risk on one system.

Overwatch builds AI agents for threat intelligence that do the investigative work an analyst would do, around the clock. Every investigation records the sources consulted and the evidence found, so the result can be traced and defended. Hard cases can be escalated to Overwatch analysts.

No. Overwatch takes on the manual collection and triage that consume most analyst time, so your team spends its hours on the decisions only people can make. Overwatch’s own analysts can validate complex cases and answer requests for information.

Yes, and its coverage goes wider than the dark web. Overwatch monitors deep and dark web forums and marketplaces, Telegram and other messaging channels used for fraud, ransomware leak sites, paste sites, newly registered domains, app stores and social platforms, including the non-English communities where much of the activity targeting enterprises begins. Monitoring is mapped to each customer’s brands, assets and domains, with compromised credential monitoring for its staff and customers. Overwatch’s dark web monitoring for financial institutions also tracks compromised cards and BINs.

Overwatch runs automated merchant due diligence with AI agents that review each merchant the way an experienced analyst would. They resolve the descriptor to a live site, inspect the storefront and policy pages, examine hosting and registration signals, trace the checkout and payment flow and check the criminal underground, then return a written verdict with risk indicators and evidence. Card networks, acquirers and payment facilitators use it for automated merchant onboarding, reviews, and ongoing merchant risk monitoring across thousands of merchants.

Overwatch is used by cyber threat intelligence, fraud and financial crime, brand protection, merchant risk, third-party risk and physical security teams. Customers include card networks, banks, fintechs, consumer platforms and media companies, among them Visa. The same intelligence engine is tuned for each team's domain.

Overwatch Data was founded by Arjun Bisen (CEO) and Zara Perumal (CTO). Arjun spent fifteen years in global risk at Stripe, Google and Twitter, including leading Stripe's fraud intelligence and onboarding risk team. Zara has spent more than a decade working on AI and cybersecurity, including as tech lead for Google's Threat Analysis Group.
