About Verdict Machine
Summary
Verdict Machine builds AI-powered cybersecurity for financial institutions that hold or move digital assets on-chain. It maps each institution's complete on-chain environment, scores its cyber risk, and generates tailored controls, replacing manual security reviews and fragmented point tools. Before any transaction executes, the platform evaluates it against the institution's active policies, covering prevention, continuous diligence, security posture, and wallet screening in one live model.
Go-to-market
Asset managers, digital-asset infrastructure providers, and digital-asset teams at large banks are the primary buyers, engaged through direct sales and proof-of-concept evaluations.

AI cybersecurity for financial institutions' digital assets
Verdict Machine uses AI to understand each financial institution's complete on-chain environment, assess its cyber risk and generate tailored controls. The same live model powers transaction prevention, continuous cyber diligence, security posture and cost-efficient wallet screening. Before execution, Verdict Machine evaluates proposed transactions against the institution's active policies. In our first weeks, we started POCs with asset managers and digital-asset infrastructure providers whose systems move billions of dollars every week for financial institutions. We're now in active evaluations with digital-asset teams at some of the world's largest banks. The founding team launched and led blockchain security at Check Point (NASDAQ: CHKP).
