As AI-driven impersonations continue to undermine trust, Outtake, a leader in AI-based digital trust solutions, is transforming email security with the launch of Outtake Verify for Email. This innovative browser extension is the first of its kind to cryptographically verify enterprise communications through World ID or passkeys, providing organizations with a robust tool to combat growing email-based threats. According to the FBI, business email compromise (BEC) is expected to cost companies $2.8 billion in 2024, while IBM reports that phishing-related breaches average $4.9 million per incident—highlighting the urgent need for enhanced email security.

Human Authentication Becomes Critical in the Age of AI

“Email was originally designed in the 1970s for communication, not security,” explained Alex Arjun Dhillon, CEO of Outtake. “Unlike traditional systems that rely on probabilistic models and frequent retraining to judge email legitimacy, Verify uses advanced authentication and proof-of-human technology to provide cryptographic certainty—verifying exactly who sent a message and from which device.”

Ajay Patel, Head of World ID at Tools for Humanity, added, “As AI becomes more pervasive, proof-of-human verification is vital, especially in professional environments, to maintain trust while streamlining operations. Partnering with Outtake allows organizations to strengthen email security by clearly distinguishing humans from AI-driven actors.”

Strengthening Email Security with Verify

Outtake Verify combines the World ID protocol and FIDO passkey authentication to confirm sender identity at both human and device levels. This approach complements existing machine-learning security systems and email protocols such as DMARC, enabling faster, more confident decision-making for high-stakes communications—like vendor payments, contract approvals, and executive directives—where uncertainty can lead to costly delays or social engineering attacks.

With AI increasingly integrated into enterprise workflows, differentiating human-sent from AI-generated emails is essential. Verify also lays the groundwork for authenticating communications from trusted AI agents in future workflows.

How Outtake Verify Works

The extension installs via the Chrome management console, integrates seamlessly with enterprise Single-Sign-On (SSO), requires no MX record changes, and currently supports Gmail and Superhuman. Outlook compatibility is planned for Q4 2025. Early enterprise adopters can access Outtake Verify for Email free of charge starting today.

Looking ahead, Outtake aims to expand cryptographic identity verification across employee onboarding, internal communications, and AI agent interactions, further securing enterprise operations against fraud and impersonation.
