The company reported a **750% surge in agentic traffic** in the first half of 2026, citing its **Digital Identity Network’s 2025 analysis** of **116 billion digital transactions**, which detected **4.9 billion automated bot attacks**—up **59% year-over-year**. KYA aims to detect and contextualize agent-driven activity, distinguishing authorized agents from malicious bots or unauthorized actions in real time by combining browser, device, and network signals with behavioral data.\n\nThe system integrates with existing workflows via APIs and SDKs, enabling organizations to authenticate, review, or reject agent interactions based on risk policies. Applications include fraud prevention in commerce, banking, and account access. LexisNexis highlights use cases like a **global financial institution** using KYA to block agent-driven transactions. Future plans include advanced agent identity verification and agent-to-agent interaction analysis, though current capabilities remain focused on detection and contextual risk assessment.","keyPoints":["LexisNexis adds AI-agent detection to its fraud platform, calling it Know Your Agent (KYA)","Agentic traffic surged **750%** in H1 2026, per LexisNexis Risk Solutions","System integrates with workflows to authenticate or block agent-driven transactions"],"whyItMatters":"AI agents are increasingly used in fraud schemes, and this tool helps businesses distinguish authorized agents from malicious bots in real time, reducing risks in transactions and account access.","category":{"slug":"enterprise","name":"Enterprise & Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/category/enterprise"},"entities":{"companies":["LexisNexis Risk Solutions","ChatGPT","Claude"],"models":[],"people":["Mike Woodberry","Grayson Clarke"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-11-05T14:23:03Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-05T14:23:03Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"LexisNexis Risk Solutions Adds AI-Agent Signals to Fraud Decisions","url":"https://unite.ai/lexisnexis-risk-solutions-adds-ai-agent-signals-to-fraud-decisions","publishedAt":"2026-11-05T14:23:03Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"LexisNexis Risk Solutions adds AI-agent signals to fraud detection platform\", 5 November 2026, https://digestai.news/story/lexisnexis-risk-solutions-adds-ai-agent-signals-to-fraud-detection-pla","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"LexisNexis Risk Solutions adds AI-agent signals to fraud detection platform","datePublished":"2026-11-05T14:23:03Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/lexisnexis-risk-solutions-adds-ai-agent-signals-to-fraud-detection-pla"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
