Know your agent before you decide to trust it

Socure Agent Intelligence helps organizations safely recognize and interact with AI agents acting on behalf of people and businesses. It combines agent traffic detection, agent trust scoring, and agent credentialing to determine when an agent is present, understand who it represents and what it is authorized to do, and assess the risk and trustworthiness of the interaction.

Socure Agent Intelligence is designed to support both sides of the agent ecosystem. Relying parties can use Agent Detection and Agent Trust Score to assess incoming agent traffic, while agent operators and platforms can use Agent Credential to establish verifiable identity and authorization for their agents.

Know Your Agent (KYA) is Socure’s approach to establishing identity, authorization, and trust for AI agents interacting with businesses and digital services on behalf of people or organizations. Analogous to how KYC and KYB establish trust in people and businesses, KYA enables relying parties to understand who an agent is, who it represents, what it’s authorized to do, and whether it should be trusted for a specific interaction.

No. Socure can evaluate both credentialed and uncredentialed agents, and Agent Trust Score is agnostic to agent type, operator, and presentation. A verifiable credential provides stronger evidence about an agent’s identity, operator, delegated authority, and permissions, but Socure can still assess uncredentialed agents using available identity, authorization, behavioral, environmental, and risk signals.

Agent Credentialing enables an operator to register an AI agent and give it verifiable proof of who it is, who it represents, and what it’s authorized to do. Registering an agent with Socure can help that agent establish trust with relying parties, reduce unnecessary friction, and provide stronger assurance that its activity is legitimate and authorized. Socure-credentialed agents receive the highest trust at Socure’s network of 3,000+ customers.

Traditional bot management is primarily designed to distinguish automated traffic from human traffic and stop malicious automation. Socure Agent Detection is designed for a world where AI agents may be legitimate, authorized traffic, but are challenging to distinguish from human and scripted bot traffic because they share many of the same artifacts and behaviors. It goes beyond simply identifying automation to detect, classify, and persistently identify agents, providing the foundation for determining whether an agent should be trusted rather than automatically blocked.

No. Agent Trust Score provides a composite score that helps customers make their own risk and policy decisions. Customers determine how those insights are used, for example, to allow an interaction, introduce additional verification, limit an agent’s capabilities, apply a policy, or deny an action.

Yes. Agent Detection and Trust Score are native RiskOS enrichments that can be used independently or together with other Socure solutions to design decision workflows suitable to your use cases and risk tolerances.
