DataDome platform enhancements give businesses control over AI agents

DataDome has announced significant advancements to its platform and partner ecosystem, empowering businesses to manage how AI agents interact with their digital assets. These updates address the growing challenge posed by LLMs, AI crawlers, and automated agents reshaping the internet economy.

Key Enhancements

• AI-Driven Intent Detection: DataDome’s AI engine now identifies, categorizes, and responds to traffic in less than 2 milliseconds, focusing on intent rather than just identity. This helps distinguish between legitimate AI use and malicious automation.
• LLM Detection & Policy Intelligence: The platform automatically groups LLM crawlers and AI agents into a dedicated category, providing visibility into their access patterns. Security teams receive intelligent policy recommendations to respond based on bot behavior and trustworthiness.
• New AI Models: DataDome has deployed additional AI models to detect sudden traffic spikes, blocking over 1.2 million malicious requests in 48 hours. The platform leverages 85,000+ customer-specific models for tailored threat mitigation.

Partner Ecosystem

DataDome has partnered with Skyfire to introduce a Know Your Agent (KYA) identity layer, enabling businesses to:

• Verify AI agent identities
• Block or monetize AI traffic
• Enforce LLM access licensing agreements
• Facilitate payments between AI agents and websites

"AI isn’t a feature—it’s the foundation of everything we do," said Benjamin Fabre, CEO of DataDome. "It’s what powers our ability to stop bots and fraud in real time."

Amir Sarhangi, CEO of Skyfire, added: "AI agents are fast becoming the internet’s most active users... DataDome’s partnership gives businesses the control to identify, manage, and monetize AI agent access in real time."

Why It Matters

With traditional fraud prevention methods falling short, DataDome’s AI-first architecture provides a scalable solution to combat evolving threats while enabling businesses to harness AI agent traffic as a potential revenue stream.
