Detect machine-to-machine payment exploits, expose autonomous purchasing vulnerabilities, and fortify your enterprise against the next evolution of automated cybercrime.
The rapid development of agentic commerce — where AI systems autonomously search, negotiate, recommend, and execute commercial transactions on behalf of users or organisations — is introducing new forms of fraud and financial risk. Unlike traditional e-commerce environments, agentic systems can independently make decisions, interact with multiple platforms, process large volumes of information, and initiate transactions with limited human intervention. While these capabilities offer significant opportunities for efficiency and customer experience, they also create novel vulnerabilities across authentication, payment processes, identity verification, and transaction monitoring.
This session examines fraud risk within emerging agentic commerce environments from a practical financial crime and governance perspective. The course explores how autonomous agents alter fraud patterns, how existing control frameworks may become insufficient, and the technical, legal, and operational considerations organisations should address as AI-enabled transaction environments mature. Participants will gain practical insight into how fraud detection, risk management, and governance strategies may need to evolve within increasingly autonomous commercial ecosystems.
