Socure links AI agents to verified people and businesses - Help Net Security
Socure has launched Agent Intelligence, a suite that detects AI agents , scores whether they should be trusted, and ties each agent to the verified person or business that authorized it.
Socure has launched Agent Intelligence, a suite that detects AI agents , scores whether they should be trusted, and ties each agent to the verified person or business that authorized it.
Agent Intelligence includes three layers in one platform designed to go beyond simple Know Your Agent (KYA) solutions: Agent Detection, generally available today inside Socure’s existing Digital Intelligence offering, Agent TrustScore, open for beta customers now, and Agent Credential, reaching general availability in Q1 2027.
According to Accenture’s 2026 Consumer Pulse report, 85% of consumers were open to collaborating with an AI agent and 74% were open to having the agent execute specific tasks.
However, most organizations cannot differentiate traffic from new consumer agents: they cannot see them, do not know how many there are, and do not know what they are doing.
Socure delivers them together under one powerful umbrella, backed by our moat: a market-leading global identity graph, AI-powered fraud models that outperform by 40%+, and large-scale identity intelligence strengthened by a customer base of more than 6,000 companies.”
The problem compounds because an agent puts another layer between the action and the person accountable for it, and every verification method in production at scale today was built to evaluate a human.
Socure’s Agent Intelligence solution is the offering that detects, scores, and credentials agents on one identity graph: Operating within Socure’s RiskOS platform, Socure’s Agent Intelligence draws on Socure’s trust infrastructure to assess an agent’s identity.
Organizations can allow, step up, or block based on their own risk thresholds, while platforms deploying AI agents can issue Socure-backed credentials that make their agents more detectable, identifiable, and trustworthy so they get blocked less.
It’s clearly determining if it is an agent, which agent it is, and which human is on the other end of the agent, an evolution of the same problems we’ve been solving at Socure for more than a decade.” Know Your Agent vendors generally address parts of the problem: some detect and classify automated traffic, while others only establish an agent’s identity, link it to a principal, or verify credentials and delegated authority.
A trust score that only worked for Socure-issued agents would be useless to a relying party, so Agent TrustScore evaluates credentials from any issuer and agents that carry no credential at all.

What changed
According to Accenture’s 2026 Consumer Pulse report, 85% of consumers were open to collaborating with an AI agent and 74% were open to having the agent execute specific tasks.
However, most organizations cannot differentiate traffic from new consumer agents: they cannot see them, do not know how many there are, and do not know what they are doing.
Who is affected

Technical details
It’s clearly determining if it is an agent, which agent it is, and which human is on the other end of the agent, an evolution of the same problems we’ve been solving at Socure for more than a decade.” Know Your Agent vendors generally address parts of the problem: some detect and classify automated traffic, while others only establish an agent’s identity, link it to a principal, or verify credentials and delegated authority.
A trust score that only worked for Socure-issued agents would be useless to a relying party, so Agent TrustScore evaluates credentials from any issuer and agents that carry no credential at all.
Agent Intelligence is deliberately agnostic to agent type, presentation and credential issuer.
Response
But most companies still treat agents like bots and block them.
