AI agents are creating a new class of digital interaction, requiring organisations to distinguish legitimate agent activity from malicious automationKnow Your Agent intelligence helps organisations identify agent activity and fold it into broader risk intelligence used to assess digital interactionsBuilt on the unique scale and connectivity of the LexisNexis® Risk Intelligence Network, Know Your Agent intelligence helps organisations prepare for an agentic future.

UNITED KINGDOM, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Risk Solutions has extended its powerful risk intelligence solutions to help organisations understand and assess a new class of digital actor: AI agents operating on behalf of people and businesses.

For decades, LexisNexis Risk Solutions has helped organisations make risk decisions by connecting identity, device, behavioural, network and transaction intelligence at global scale. As AI agents become another participant in digital interactions, the company is extending that same connected intelligence approach to agentic activity.

Know Your Agent (KYA) intelligence adds a new layer of agentic insights to LexisNexis Risk Solutions’ digital identity and fraud prevention platform. It helps organisations recognise when AI agents are interacting with their digital services and can bring those interactions directly into established risk assessment and decisioning workflows, rather than treating them as an isolated risk problem. Many LexisNexis Risk Solutions customers are already using KYA intelligence in their current risk management decision making.

Analysis of global digital transactions by LexisNexis Risk Solutions shows agentic traffic grew over 750% in the first half of 2026 alone. Rapid growth is expected to continue as more people and organisations adopt agents to undertake everyday tasks such as online shopping.

Because most personal agents today do not self-declare as agents, organisations face an immediate challenge: distinguishing agentic activity from other digital traffic. But this is only the first step. Agent detection alone cannot answer key questions organisations ultimately need to resolve: Who or what is the agent acting for? Has that activity been authorised? Is its behaviour consistent with that authority? And does the wider context of the interaction indicate that it is legitimate? 

That context may also change during a digital journey as control passes between a person and an AI agent, making continuous visibility into the interaction increasingly important. This is where the scale and connectivity of the Risk Intelligence Network becomes essential.

AI-agent activity does not need to be evaluated as an isolated interaction. It can be understood in the context of the identities, devices, networks, behavioural patterns and relationships surrounding digital activity, helping to provide richer context for risk decisions. This connected intelligence approach incorporates agent detection into risk decisions in real time, while aiding in creating a foundation for increasingly sophisticated agent identity and authorisation capabilities as agents, standards and use cases evolve.

Autonomous AI agents have the potential to increase the scale and sophistication of fraud, including authorised push payment fraud and account takeover attacks. Malicious agents can learn dynamically from successes and failures, enabling subsequent attacks to become more tailored and prolific.

For organisations, the decision is not whether an agent is universally trusted but whether a specific agent, acting in a specific context, should be permitted to perform a specific action. Legitimate agents will increasingly participate in digital customer journeys, but the appropriate response will depend on what the agent is attempting to do, the context of the interaction, and the organisation’s own risk policies. KYA intelligence helps organisations bring agentic activity into existing decisioning workflows so they can allow, authenticate, review or reject interactions as appropriate.

“Agentic commerce is moving quickly from experimentation into the mainstream,” said Grayson Clarke, chief commercial officer at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “Agentic transactions globally more than doubled again in the last quarter, driven primarily by personal agents. Some businesses are enabling agents to transact on consumers’ behalf, while others are restricting their activities, and many are still determining the right approach. We have already seen firsthand how a global financial institution used our detection capabilities to help identify agentic activity and prevent it from executing sensitive transactions.”

LexisNexis Risk Solutions analysed more than 116 billion digital transactions globally in 2025 through its LexisNexis® Digital Identity Network®, giving it a uniquely broad view of how human, automated and increasingly agentic interactions are evolving. The network detected 4.9 billion automated bot attacks during the year, a 59% increase year over year. That scale reflects the role LexisNexis Risk Solutions already plays in helping many of the world’s largest financial institutions, merchants and digital businesses assess risk across digital interactions.

Mike Woodberry, senior vice president of product and analytics at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, added, “Managing risk in the agentic economy will require more than agent detection alone. The real challenge is establishing context: what is acting, who or what it represents, whether it is authorised and what it is attempting to do. Our vision for KYA is to extend established risk intelligence into the agentic economy, helping give organisations the flexibility to apply the appropriate response to each interaction rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all risk assessment.”

Woodberry continued, “Organisations should not have to build a new risk strategy every time digital interactions evolve. Adding a new layer of agentic insights to our established identity and fraud prevention platform helps customers build on the capabilities they already rely on while preparing for the next generation of digital interactions.”

JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EPG Modular Data Center today marked the topping-out of its Malaysia FIZ (Free Industrial Zone) Factory in Senai Airport City (SAC), Johor. The milestone advances development of a manufacturing base closer to customers in Southeast Asia, expanding EPG’s production capabilities and strengthening its ability to respond to customer needs across the region and beyond.

The ceremony featured the raising of the final structural beam, followed by a tour of the facility. Guests included representatives from the Johor State Government, SAC and other government agencies, as well as business partners, customers, financial institutions and investment firms.

Representing an investment of approximately US$120 million, EPG’s FIZ Factory spans 107,450 square meters, including 70,000 square meters of production space. Scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027, the facility is projected to rank among the largest single-site data center module manufacturing bases in the modular data center (MDC) sector by production capacity. Once fully operational, it is expected to employ more than 800 people locally.

GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL CSOT’s t8 8.6-generation Inkjet Printing OLED (IJP OLED) production line in Guangzhou had entered the equipment move-in phase on October 31. With core production equipment now moving into the facility, the world’s first 8.6-generation IJP OLED production line has entered the final phase before expected mass production in 2027. The announcement was made at a ceremony attended by TCL CSOT executives and suppliers.

“The move-in of the first piece of core production equipment marks the t8 project’s transition to the equipment installation and commissioning phase,” said Feng Zhang, Senior Vice President of TCL CSOT. “This is one of the most advanced facilities of its kind, and installing the state-of-the-art equipment will be a true test of our ability to work with our partners to expand current technical limits. We look forward to working closely with our partners to take on these challenges as we establish t8 as a new benchmark for safety, quality, and efficiency.”

Representing a major strategic investment in the next generation of display technology, the t8 project will play a key role in driving future display development through IJP OLED. With a total investment of approximately RMB 29.5 billion and a designed monthly processing capacity of approximately 22,500 glass substrates (8.6-generation, approximately 2,290 mm × 2,620 mm), the production line will primarily produce displays for tablets, laptops, and monitors, with scope to expand into flexible and foldable displays. Following the start of construction on September 16, 2025, the main factory structure was topped out in just 226 days. Equipment move-in at t8 marks the project’s entry into the final phase before mass production. The project will now proceed through production line installation, integrated commissioning of power systems, and process validation, with mass production expected in the fourth quarter of 2027.

IJP OLED uses an inkjet printing process to deposit organic light-emitting materials onto glass substrates with greater precision through a process known as on-demand deposition. Compared with traditional vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE), IJP achieves higher material utilization for greener, more efficient production, and is widely recognized as a key technological pathway for next-generation displays.

“From a single drop of ink and a small prototype to our G5.5 line (t12) in Wuhan becoming the world’s first IJP OLED mass production line, and now the move-in at our G8.6 production line in Guangzhou, TCL CSOT has spent the past 13 years bringing IJP OLED from the laboratory to the production line. Equipment move-in at t8 marks the start of the final stretch before mass production,” said Weiran Cao, General Manager of IJP-OLED Middle Platform of TCL CSOT.

As the t8 project progresses towards mass production, TCL CSOT will continue to drive wider adoption of the industry-leading IJP OLED technology and further expand the sizes and applications of its OLED portfolio, delivering advanced displays and improved experiences for customers and end users worldwide.
