Why Our Architecture Matters for Security
Enterprise-grade security through transparency, auditability, and continuous improvement.
Security Through Transparency
Our auditable architecture enables comprehensive security reviews. Unlike proprietary black-box solutions, your security team can understand how detection works—critical for enterprise risk management and regulatory compliance.
Customization & Control
Modular architecture allows industry-specific tuning. Train on your domain's unique fraud patterns without vendor dependencies. Full control over detection thresholds, scoring, and integration workflows.
Rapid Threat Response
Monthly model retraining captures emerging attack types. When new deepfake tools emerge (ElevenLabs, HeyGen, etc.), our models adapt within weeks—not the quarterly cycles of enterprise vendors.
No Vendor Lock-In
Open standards and portable models mean you're never locked into a single vendor. Export your trained models, migrate infrastructure, or integrate with other systems without contractual constraints.
