Back on the #IABConnectedCommerce Summit main stage, Stu Solomon (@SecureWithHUMAN) is unpacking a big question: in a digital world shaped by bots and agentic AI, how do we define and maintain trust?

Bots have taken over the internet. The State of AI Traffic report released Thursday by cybersecurity firm Human Security showed that artificial intelligence and bots have officially eclipsed human users. cnb.cx/4dc5u7a

Otherwise competent engineering teams fail at bot detection because they model the problem as anomaly detection. They think they can make a model of normal human use and then use ML to find the outliers. This dramatically underestimates the adversary. We crushed this problem at @SecureWithHUMAN by completely different means: active, dynamic side channel analysis. That's why our capabilities are *additive* for customers like Google and Microsoft, who have world class AI teams themselves. HUMAN adds extraordinary side channel analysis capabilities that are otherwise unseen outside of nation state cyberwarfare. That's why HUMAN has triggered more takedowns and more arrests than any other botnet defender. No one's getting convicted on some AI model's anomaly detection. AI fraud detection models never *stop* the predators, only delay them. The adversaries adapt, infect new computers, steal more real accounts and identities, and keep going once they hide in the noise again. HUMAN nails proof to the wall. It's the serious choice for everyone who wants to deal consequences to the adversary.

AI agents surged this holiday season! New @SecureWithHUMAN telemetry shows agent traffic targeting e-commerce sites jumped 144.7% during the Black Friday–Cyber Monday period. Read more on our blog: humansecurity.com/learn/blog…

Time for a scary story! There were more than 10 million BADBOX 2.0 infected devices but @SecureWithHUMAN’s Lindsay Kaye and @Google ’s Per Bjork explained how they were able to neutralize 6 million. BUT OM SDK device attestation is key at making this defensible and securing CTV!!

2025 was the year #AI didn’t just join the IT function — AI defined it. Read the full story in @ITBrew: itbrew.com/stories/2025/11/2… As HUMAN CEO, Stu Solomon, noted, “we’ve been going down the automation-orchestration route for years, but what is new is that it’s happening faster.”

Firms Team Up To Reduce Agentic AI Risks for E-Commerce Merchants...@Riskified and @SecureWithHUMAN launch a framework for e-commerce security, targeting fraud, chargebacks, and risks from #agenticAI shopping agents. ecommercetimes.com/story/fir…

As #threatactors run AI models locally, they bypass safeguards and optimize for attacks on Government systems. Stay ahead of #cybersecurity threats by leveraging @SecureWithHUMAN’s defense strategies for public sector security teams: carah.io/27703

Human Security CEO: Agentic AI Will Require ‘Trusted Agents:’ okt.to/x3WFao @SecureWithHUMAN CEO Stu Solomon tells @CRN that the increased autonomy afforded to AI agents will mean a greater need for verifying that the agentic applications are legitimate and secure.

We are integrating our Client-side Defense solution with the @awsmarketplace and Web Application Firewall (WAF) to simplify the way businesses comply with PCI DSS 4.0 requirements 6.4.3 & 11.6.1, which have gone into effect as of March 2025. bit.ly/3XGJ4SO #KnowWhosReal
