Ontic serves enterprise customers including Fortune 50 companies across technology, financial services and consumer goods, and supports U.S. public sector agencies. The company reports client impacts such as a 33% reduction in new staffing needs, halving investigation time at a major tech company, centralizing response across more than 400 locations for a national grocer, and over $4.5M in cost avoidance at a global enterprise over three years. Founded in 2017 and based in Austin, Texas, Ontic is investing to accelerate its AI capabilities and expand its international footprint. The company says its customers collectively generate nearly $30 billion in revenue and employ over 14 million people, underscoring demand for consolidated physical-security solutions. Ontic provides a SaaS-based protective intelligence platform that helps corporate security teams identify, investigate, assess, watch and manage physical security threats.

Ontic serves Fortune 500 and emerging enterprises and also offers strategic consulting, multidimensional services, education and thought leadership through its Center for Protective Intelligence and a Center of Excellence. The Center of Excellence offers program development and training in behavioral threat assessment, threat management and violence prevention for major corporations, educational institutions and government agencies.
