NOW SELECTING FIRST DESIGN PARTNERS

We find and close the fraud gaps criminals would exploit — before they do.

Axatar is AI-native fraud red-teaming: continuous, simulated attacks on your fraud controls — built from real fraud-fighting expertise, safe by design.

The shift

AI flipped the economics of fraud.

For decades, scale was the moat — giants defended with massive engineering fleets. That advantage is gone.

Defenders

Ship slowly under release cycles, compliance gates and brand risk. Blind spots surface only after criminals exploit them — when the loss already sits in the P&L.

Attackers

Iterate infinitely at near-zero cost. One successful bypass is a signal to the whole underground: there's a hole here — worth mining at scale.

Every detection vendor grades fraud after launch — and none can objectively test its own stack. Attacking the controls before criminals do, with no conflict of interest, is a lane nobody owns yet.
The platform

Continuous, AI-driven fraud red-teaming.

An AI platform with expert-led engagements that finds and fixes fraud vulnerabilities before they become losses.

Attack Playbooks

Curated, continuously updated fraud scenarios by industry: account takeover, card testing, promo-abuse rings, refund exploitation, synthetic identities, mule payouts.

AI Simulation Engine

Generates realistic adversarial user journeys across web, app & API — varying identity, device, behavior, payment instruments and velocity. Scheduled or event-triggered.

Findings That Ship

Every gap becomes a prioritized Fraud Vulnerability Report: attack path, evidence, dollar impact, fix + effort estimate, and re-test validation.

Safe by design: simulations run as tagged synthetic journeys — flagged test identities, auto-voided orders, zero impact on production models or real customers — guided by a judgment layer encoded from operators who have fought fraud at scale.

Positioning

A lane nobody owns.

Everyone else brings scale, fraud expertise, or a proactive mindset. Axatar brings all three.

Fraud red teams
TheyManual, project-based, banks only.
AxatarAlways-on software — continuous, for any high-velocity business.
Cyber pentest & BAS
TheyAutomated attacks on cyber vulnerabilities.
AxatarAutomated attacks on fraud business logic — a different surface entirely.
Fraud detection
TheyDetects fraud in real time, after launch.
AxatarAttacks controls before launch — and validates the detection stack itself.
Who's building this

Built from the inside.

Alon Wiener
Founder

Nine years at PayPal — from machine-learning scientist building entity-resolution algorithms that still run in production fraud prevention, to leading an AI/ML group within the centralized Data Science organization: managing managers, partnering with executives across Risk, Credit and Compliance, and directing the graph-AI transformation of PayPal's fraud infrastructure. Before that: Shaldag, an elite Israeli Air Force unit, where defense starts with thinking like the attacker.
