About Verdict Machine
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).
