Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- Examines security failure modes emerging in agentic commerce, where autonomous bots execute purchasing decisions and transactions.
- Addresses why traditional payment controls are insufficient for bot-driven transactions.
- Explores how trust is built and exploited in automated commerce systems.
- Designed for security professionals, risk managers and payment operations leads in retail, e-commerce and financial services.
- Hosted by VikingCloud as a live webinar with practical case studies.
Agentic Commerce and Its Security Implications
Agentic commerce represents a shift in how transactions occur, with autonomous agents gaining authority to make purchasing decisions and execute payments without direct human intervention. This delegation of financial authority to bots introduces security challenges that existing controls were not designed to address. The webinar “When Bots Hold the Wallet: Securing Agentic Commerce” focuses on the specific risks that emerge when machines are trusted to act on behalf of organisations and individuals in commercial transactions.
Security Failure Modes in Automated Transactions
The session examines real-world failure modes already surfacing in agentic commerce environments. Traditional payment security controls assume human oversight at key decision points, creating blind spots when autonomous agents operate with delegated authority. The webinar addresses how attackers can exploit trust relationships in automated systems and why risk assessment frameworks must evolve to account for bot-driven transactions.
New Controls for Autonomous Agent Risk
Beyond identifying vulnerabilities, the webinar provides actionable guidance on implementing new security controls specifically designed for agentic commerce. This includes adapting risk assessment strategies to evaluate the authority granted to autonomous agents and establishing appropriate boundaries for bot-initiated transactions. The practical focus extends to case studies illustrating how these controls function in operational environments.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is relevant for professionals responsible for securing payment systems and managing risk in organisations adopting automated commerce solutions. The target audience includes:
- CISOs and security architects evaluating agentic commerce risks
- Risk managers and compliance officers in financial services
- Payment system administrators and operations leads
- IT leaders and technology decision-makers in retail and e-commerce
- Compliance managers overseeing automated transaction systems
The webinar sits at the intersection of application security, payment security and autonomous commerce, making it particularly relevant for organisations where these disciplines must coordinate to address emerging threats.
