What Outseer does

Outseer is a privately held fraud prevention technology company that provides an all-cause fraud prevention platform to financial institutions globally. The company was formed in June 2021 as a spin-off of RSA Security's Fraud & Risk Intelligence Business Unit under private equity owner Symphony Technology Group, with co-investors including Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Clearlake Capital, and AlpInvest. Outseer positions its platform as addressing both the technical attack surface (account takeover, unauthorized payments) and the emotional attack surface (scams, social engineering) through a single unified system rather than fragmented point tools, with stated protection of 100+ billion transactions and 450+ million accounts annually across more than 50 countries.

The platform is composed of three core products — Outseer Fraud Manager (all-cause fraud prevention across login to transaction), Outseer 3-D Secure (ACS for card issuers), and Outseer FraudAction (24/7 fraud intelligence and takedown service) — built on two platform components: the Outseer Risk Engine (an AI-driven, real-time risk scoring engine that fuses behavioral, device, transaction, and consortium signals) and the Outseer Global Data Network (a multi-decade consortium dataset spanning thousands of financial institutions). Recent additions include platformized Behavioral Biometrics launched in March 2025 and GenAI-based adaptive intervention capabilities. The company operates a SaaS subscription revenue model with enterprise field sales supplemented by the Outseer Beyond partner program, including a strategic distribution relationship with TRINEXIA covering the Middle East, Africa, and India.

Outseer's customer base includes hundreds of the world's largest financial institutions (BMO, ING, Santander, Eurobank, First Citizens, ASB, Kiwibank, Bank Islam, City Union Bank, Bank Muamalat, Isracard, Viseca, among others) alongside thousands of additional clients globally. The company employs 251-500 people, is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts (with a secondary office in Bedford, Massachusetts and operations across EMEA and APJ), is led by CEO John Filby (formerly President of Risk & Compliance at Fiserv), and operates from a research and engineering base that includes CTO and Chief Data Scientist Dr. Yogesh Patel. Disclosed Annual Recurring Revenue stands at $26.3M with a reported valuation of $78.9M as of 2025.
