Radware Introduces Agent Trust Management to Help Businesses Securely Embrace the AI Agent Economy

New solution captures AI agent intent to continuously assess trust, supporting organizations in more securely engaging with trusted agents while helping to protect applications, business processes and sensitive data

MAHWAH, N.J., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radware^® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a global leader in AI and application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, today introduced Radware Agent Trust Management, a new solution designed to help organizations participate more securely in the emerging AI agent economy by facilitating how trusted AI agents interact with their applications.

As AI agent traffic grows, organizations face a new challenge: blocking agents can result in lost business, while allowing them unrestricted access can expose applications, sensitive data and business processes to new risks. Radware Agent Trust Management addresses this challenge by directly capturing their declared intent, continuously assessing whether their actions remain consistent with that intent and controlling what they are permitted to do. This is designed to move businesses beyond broad allow-or-block decisions and more securely capture the value of agent-driven interactions.

“AI agents are fundamentally changing how applications are accessed and used,” said David Aviv, chief technology officer at Radware. “Organizations need to be able to embrace this shift while maintaining visibility and control over agent activity. Agent Trust Management enables them to establish trust and control what agents can do, so they can participate in the agent economy while protecting critical applications, business processes and data.”

According to Radware’s H1 Global Threat Analysis Report, 77% of organizations are actively deploying or implementing AI agents, yet only 17.2% report full visibility into the AI agents operating within their environments. AI agents are increasingly interacting with applications across industries and performing tasks that can involve sensitive data, transactions and critical business processes. In e-commerce and retail, agents can research products and complete transactions; in financial services, they can interact with applications involving sensitive information and financial activities; and in travel and hospitality, they can search, make bookings and interact with inventory, pricing and loyalty programs. Radware Agent Trust Management is designed to assist organizations in supporting these emerging use cases while maintaining greater visibility and control over how AI agents interact with their applications.

Identifying an AI agent alone does not establish whether it can be trusted. Even a verified agent can have malicious intent, deviate from its stated purpose or attempt harmful actions. Radware Agent Trust Management is designed to go beyond relying solely on identity and observed behavior by also directly capturing an agent’s declared intent through active conversation and continuously evaluating whether its actions remain consistent with that intent. This helps organizations distinguish legitimate agent interactions from potentially harmful activity.

Key capabilities of Radware Agent Trust Management include:

• Understand AI agent activity and intent. Prompt-aware, session-level visibility provides insight into an agent’s identity, declared intent, actions and navigation path, supporting security teams in investigating activity and making informed policy decisions.
• Identify agents across the ecosystem. Multi-signal identification combines request headers, client-side behavioral signals and direct agent responses to identify and classify both Web Bot Auth-compliant and non-compliant agents. Standards-compliant agents are cryptographically verified.
• Continuously assess whether agents can be trusted. Radware captures declared intent through active conversation and uses AI-based behavioral analysis, prompt profiling and anomaly detection to assess whether an agent’s activity remains consistent with that intent. Trust assessments evolve as new signals emerge.
• Control what agents are permitted to do. Permission-based governance is designed to enable organizations to control access to specific workflows, providing more granular options beyond broad allow-or-block decisions. For example, an organization can permit an agent to browse while restricting sensitive actions such as login or checkout.

Radware Agent Trust Management is available now as part of Radware Cloud Application Protection services, extending Radware’s bot management capabilities to address the distinct visibility, trust assessment and governance requirements of AI agents.
