The industry is meeting a new kind of actor. Customers are beginning to arrive represented by AI agents rather than logging in, browsing, and transacting manually. These same advanced capabilities are also in the hands of fraudsters and cybercriminals. This shift is happening before our eyes.
What makes agents different is that they don't follow the rulebook. An agent accepts a goal and discovers its own path: exploring, reasoning, chaining together legitimate capabilities, and iterating until it succeeds. This makes agentic traffic activity unpredictable by design, and it renders many of today's fraud and bot-detection tools blind. Agents aren't bots, they adapt, they mimic human behavior, and they operate where rules don't yet reach. The result is a widening gap. Treat every agent as a bot and you add friction that blocks legitimate customers and shuts your institution out of agent-driven commerce. Have no policy at all and you absorb fraud risk blindly.
In this American Banker webinar, Mickey Boodaei, CEO and Co-Founder of Transmit Security, will show why the old rules are becoming obsolete and what it takes to see, understand, and enforce policy across your customer-facing applications, before the window to build that visibility closes. Drawing on what Transmit is observing in live banking traffic today, he'll show you how that visibility is the critical first step: you cannot govern and you cannot protect, what you cannot see.
What attendees will learn:
- Why agentic traffic is fundamentally different from bot traffic, and why it renders current controls obsolete.
- The banking-specific ways agents are already showing up, and where abuse, fraud, and legitimate commerce is coming from.
- Why visibility is the non-negotiable first step, and the practical path from seeing agentic traffic, to understanding its intent, to enforcing policy that lets good agents through and closes the door to the rest.
- The answers to the questions every fraud, security, and identity leader show be asking right now to gauge their institutions readiness.
