Incognia launches AI Agent Detection for financial institutions to identify agentic activity and assess the risk behind AI-initiated actions

What changed

Incognia introduced AI Agent Detection on October 6 for financial institutions handling purchases, payments, account changes and other actions initiated by AI agents or automated environments. The product combines agent signals with device, location, account-history and network-risk intelligence to assess whether a particular action is plausibly authorized by the customer. Incognia also announced Web Behavioral Biometrics and an MCP Server for bringing its risk intelligence into compatible AI investigation workflows. The company explicitly distinguishes recognizing a legitimate agent from proving that a user authorized a specific action.
