LexisNexis adds AI-agent signals to fraud decisions

What is changing?

LexisNexis Risk Solutions introduced Know Your Agent (KYA) intelligence to distinguish AI agents interacting with digital services. According to the company’s distributed press release, KYA combines agent detection with identity, device, behavioral, network and transaction signals, then feeds that context into existing risk decision workflows instead of treating agents as an isolated traffic class.

LexisNexis says some customers already use KYA signals in current risk decisions and that agentic traffic grew by more than 750 percent in the first half of 2026. The figure comes from the company’s own global network analysis. Organizations can route interactions toward allow, authenticate, review or reject responses.

For digital-commerce teams, the change adds continuous context as control shifts between a person and an agent. The product does not guarantee prevention of all malicious activity; thresholds, authorization evidence and false positives still need organization-specific testing.
