• Enables enterprises to detect authorized AI agents, distinguishing legitimate automation from malicious bots and scrapers to strengthen fraud prevention

• Establishes shared infrastructure for authorized AI agents, including those from OpenAI, AWS AgentCore, Browserbase, Manus and Anchor Browser, making Fingerprint the industry’s leading identifier of AI agents on the market

• Allows businesses to safely enable AI-driven workflows, from enterprise automation to logistics and e-commerce, without disrupting trusted automated interactions

Fingerprint, a leader in device intelligence for fraud prevention, announced the launch of Authorized AI Agent Detection, its new ecosystem of AI agents, including OpenAI, AWS AgentCore, Browserbase, Manus and Anchor Browser. The ecosystem enables enterprises to detect authorized agentic AI traffic with 100% certainty, allowing organizations to distinguish trusted, permissioned automation from malicious bots and scrapers. With the launch of Authorized AI Agent Detection, Fingerprint now detects the highest number of AI agents on the market.

As AI agents account for a growing share of automated web traffic, organizations face a fundamental shift in how they evaluate digital interactions. Traditional “block all bots” approaches treat all automation as a threat, often breaking legitimate workflows while still leaving businesses exposed to fraud and abuse. At the same time, allowing unauthorized automation can introduce serious security and revenue risks.

“For years, the goal was simply to stop the bots, but that’s a losing strategy as an increasing number of interactions are becoming automated,” said Valentin Vasilyev, CTO and co-founder of Fingerprint. “The real challenge now is determining whether traffic is legitimate. We built this ecosystem so businesses can stop blindly blocking visitors. Instead, they can now start identifying every visitor, whether they are a malicious bot, an authorized agent or a human. In the AI era, companies that are able to differentiate trusted visitors from suspicious ones will retain their competitive edge.”

“The rapid growth of agentic AI is forcing a fundamental rethink of how identity and trust are established on the web,” said Todd Thiemann, principal analyst at Omdia. “By the end of 2026, I expect users to start relying on AI agents to carry out transactions on their behalf, from booking flights to making everyday online purchases.”

Fingerprint’s Authorized AI Agent Detection gives organizations visibility into who—or what—is interacting with their digital properties. Customers can determine whether an AI agent visitor is authorized or not, and apply controls based on visitor identification rather than relying on generic bot detection alone.

“As AI agents see broader adoption, it’s increasingly important to clearly distinguish trusted automation from malicious activity,” said Tao Zhang, co-founder and CPO at Manus. “We’re pleased to participate in this ecosystem and support efforts to make agent interactions more transparent, secure, and reliable.”

This implementation aligns with emerging open standards for AI agent verification and authentication.

“Open Internet protocols mature through real-world deployment,” said Thibault Meunier, research engineer at Cloudflare and creator of Web Bot Auth. “Operating them at scale is how we validate assumptions, surface edge cases and improve the standard. Cloudflare welcomes Fingerprint’s implementation of AI agent verification and its participation in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standardization process, which helps accelerate practical outcomes for the ecosystem.”

Building Infrastructure for the Agentic Economy

Fingerprint’s new Authorized AI Agent Detection supports real-world AI agent use cases while reinforcing fraud prevention across industries:

• Enterprise automation: AI agents built on platforms such as Manus can access permissioned environments, such as PitchBook, Financial Times or CRM systems, to analyze data without being flagged as a threat.
• Workforce automation: AI agents can safely perform tasks traditionally managed by human teams, including customer support responses, CRM updates, issue resolution, refund processing, and account recovery, enabling businesses to streamline operations while maintaining strong safeguards against abuse.
• Revenue protection: E-commerce and fintech leaders can now selectively permit AI agents to facilitate transactions, creating a frictionless path for agentic buyers while maintaining robust defenses against account takeover (ATO) and payment fraud.

“Businesses want the upside of AI agents, faster support, automated operations, and smoother buying experiences but they can’t afford to open the door to scrapers and fraud,” shared Paul Klein, CEO and founder of Browserbase. “This collaboration makes ‘agent identity’ a first-class concept on the web, so companies can confidently permit trusted agents while blocking the rest.”

“Anchor Browser makes automating real work easier than ever before,” said Idan Raman, CEO of Anchor Browser. “Our partnership with Fingerprint is another step in the right direction by letting agents be deployed reliably and securely anywhere on the web.”
