Fingerprint, an AI-driven device intelligence platform based in the US, has rolled out a new feature called Authorized AI Agent Detection. This tool allows businesses to differentiate between legitimate AI agent activity and fraudulent bot traffic with high accuracy.
The company has developed an ecosystem aimed at identifying and validating AI agent flows. It helps organizations distinguish between authorized automations, such as AI agents performing valid tasks, and malicious bots or scrapers. The initial system includes support for agents from OpenAI, AWS AgentCore, Browserbase, Manus, and Anchor Browser.
This move comes in response to a changing landscape where traditional methods of blocking all bot traffic indiscriminately could disrupt legitimate operations while leaving enterprises vulnerable to fraud. Conversely, permitting unauthorized automation poses significant security and financial risks. Fingerprint’s detection mechanism offers visibility into the identity and authorization status of each visitor, allowing companies to implement targeted controls based on trust.
Verification in line with industry standards
The solution adheres to emerging open standards for AI agent authentication. Fingerprint states that their system currently identifies the largest number of AI agents available.
Authorized AI Agent Detection is beneficial across various enterprise applications, including automation, workforce management, and revenue protection. It enables permissioned AI agents to access internal systems like CRM platforms or financial tools without generating false alarms. In a corporate setting, these agents can handle customer support, issue resolution, and account recovery tasks while safeguarding against misuse. For ecommerce and fintech businesses, the technology permits selective access for AI agents, enabling automated transactions that prevent account hijacking and payment fraud.
The feature is now accessible to Fingerprint’s existing customers. Companies interested in joining the authorized AI agent ecosystem can reach out to the company directly or test the agent verification through the Web Bot Auth playground.
This advancement mirrors wider industry initiatives to establish trust protocols for agentic AI as automated interactions gain more prominence online. Industry watchers expect that by 2026, users will increasingly depend on AI agents to carry out transactions, whether booking flights or making routine purchases.
