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.
