LexisNexis Launches Know Your Agent Capability to Identify AI Agents in Government Systems
LexisNexis Risk Solutions on 2026-11-10 released its Know Your Agent (KYA) intelligence capability to help government agencies identify whether a human or an AI agent is logging into or operating digital government systems. The capability is not a standalone product but is delivered through its existing ThreatMetrix and BehavioSec platforms, allowing agencies to integrate it into their existing digital identity, device, behavioral and transaction risk workflows.
According to the company, KYA identifies AI agent characteristics based on signals such as browser and device, with the goal of distinguishing three types of visitors: humans, traditional bots and AI agents. Applicable scenarios include citizen accounts, public benefits, tax systems and licensing portals—government processes where errors carry high costs.
The release follows a version for commercial customers on 2026-11-05. LexisNexis said its Digital Identity Network analyzed more than 116 billion digital transactions in 2025; according to its research, many organizations have already integrated KYA signals into live risk workflows. The company cited data showing that agentic traffic grew by more than 750% in the first half of 2026.

This judgement can sit inside your own product
One line of code; it touches neither your CSS nor your JS. The same pre-settlement judgement can appear in your articles, on your wallet's confirmation screen, or as an endpoint your agent calls before it pays.
