FAQs
What is agentic commerce?
Agentic commerce refers to transactions or purchase journeys initiated, guided, and/or completed by AI agents instead of humans. Unlike traditional bots with narrow tasks, AI agents like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Amazon’s Rufus, and specialized shopping assistants can browse, query, interpret, and act on digital content autonomously on a user’s behalf. This shift is redefining how consumers discover and purchase products online.
How significant is AI agent traffic growth?
AI agent traffic is accelerating rapidly. DataDome’s 2025 Global Bot Security Report shows AI agents and LLMs now account for 10% of all verified bot traffic—up from just 2.6% in January, representing a 4× increase in eight months. Additionally, 64% of this traffic hits form pages, 23% reaches login pages, and 5% makes it to checkout, signaling clear commercial intent. Major platforms like Google, PayPal, Amazon, and Perplexity are all launching agentic commerce solutions right now.
What are the main security risks of AI agent traffic?
AI agents introduce several new fraud vectors: agent impersonation (malicious actors posing as trusted agents), AI agent takeover (compromised accounts executing fraudulent transactions), MCP server attacks (exploiting Model Context Protocol vulnerabilities), and credential stuffing at agent scale. Traditional security tools can’t distinguish between legitimate agents acting with good intent and malicious bots impersonating agents. This requires intent-based detection that analyzes what traffic is trying to accomplish, not just verifying identity.
What is Bot & Agent Trust Management?
Bot & Agent Trust Management represents the evolution beyond traditional bot detection. Instead of simply asking “Is this human or bot?”, it provides visibility into which AI agents are accessing your infrastructure, verifies agent identity and intent, assigns dynamic trust scores, enforces policies in real time, and enables monetization opportunities. This infrastructure allows businesses to safely enable valuable AI agent interactions while blocking fraud and abuse—creating a competitive advantage rather than treating all automation as a threat.
