LexisNexis Risk Solutions announced a new feature called Know Your Agent (KYA) that flags when an artificial‑intelligence agent accesses a government website. The capability works with the company’s ThreatMetrix and BehavioSec platforms, adding AI‑agent signals to existing identity, device and behavioral checks. LexisNexis says global digital transactions saw a 750% jump in agentic traffic in the first half of 2026, raising fraud risk for benefits, tax and licensing portals.
Why it matters
Government agencies can now differentiate AI agents from humans or bots, helping prevent fraud on public benefits and tax services.
