The Fraud Market Is Funding Its Way Toward Autonomous IRM

CB Insights just mapped more than 200 companies building the next generation of fraud and trust infrastructure. The pattern in the funding is worth sitting with. The platforms pulling in the most capital have stopped selling single tools. They sell one system that handles risk decisioning, case management, and compliance at once. CB Insights calls it the integrated stack. Fraud detection drew three and a half times the equity capital in 2025 that it raised the year before, and the orchestration platforms that fold identity, monitoring, and compliance into one system post the highest average company-health scores anywhere on the map. Sardine, SEON, and Feedzai lead that group, and they are the ones that have absorbed the most functions.
