Socure Launches “Agent Intelligence” Suite to Detect, Score, and Credential AI Agents
What Happened – Socure announced Agent Intelligence, a three‑layer platform that (1) detects AI agents driving browser sessions, (2) assigns each a TrustScore indicating how much they can be trusted, and (3) links every agent to the verified person or business that authorized it (Agent Credential). The detection layer is already live inside Socure’s Digital Intelligence offering, the TrustScore is in beta for select customers, and full credentialing is slated for general availability in Q1 2027. The launch responds to a 1,700 % year‑over‑year rise in AI‑generated traffic and the fact that more than half of all internet traffic is now non‑human, creating a blind spot for organizations that still treat agents as generic bots.
Why It Matters for Trust & Control Assurance – Being able to identify and attribute AI agents directly satisfies the control objective of AI system accountability, a core element of AI‑governance frameworks.
Who Is Affected – Companies that expose digital services to consumers—e.g., e‑commerce, fintech, SaaS platforms, and any organization that relies on web‑based user interactions.
Recommended Actions – Review your AI‑risk register, map Socure’s detection and credentialing capabilities to the AI‑governance control objective of “identification and accountability of automated agents,” and begin collecting evidence of agent detection for audit readiness.

Technical Notes – Agent Detection uses behavioral fingerprinting and confidence scoring rather than a binary verdict; TrustScore provides a risk rating with reason codes; Agent Credential ties the agent to an identity graph that records the authorizing entity. No vulnerabilities or CVEs are disclosed. Source: same
