AI agents now handle high-value transactions such as opening accounts, transferring funds and completing purchases, while bypassing traditional controls with valid credentials. Blind to this new class of actor, existing fraud, security and identity defenses leave enterprises unable to see or control a surging share of their own traffic. The recent recipient of the 2026 Morgan Stanley Innovation Award for its work with Morgan Stanley in identity and access management, Transmit Security is now, under Thompson’s leadership, extending its foundation beyond human identity, helping organizations establish trust with both people and their autonomous AI agents.

“AI agents are fundamentally changing how consumers interact with financial institutions and merchants, blurring the boundaries between identity, fraud prevention and cybersecurity,” said Matt Thompson, CEO of Transmit Security. “As consumers increasingly rely on AI agents to act on their behalf, businesses face a new challenge: identifying who, or what, is accessing their applications, understanding the risks and controlling what those agents can do. Existing solutions were designed for human interactions and lack the visibility needed for this new reality.
