Fastly Partners with Experian to Drive AI Agent Verification at the Network Edge

Fastly

Edge cloud platform Fastly has joined the Experian Agent Trust™ ecosystem to help enterprises verify AI agents and authorize autonomous transactions in real time at the network edge. As agentic commerce rapidly accelerates with automated systems purchasing items directly on behalf of consumers businesses require infrastructure that validates delegated authority without adding latency. Through Experian’s Human to Agent Binding framework, verified individuals are persistently connected to their acting AI agents; Fastly integrates these trust signals directly into existing APIs, payment workflows, and security controls without forcing companies to redesign their backend architectures. Highlighting the importance of establishing seamless verification frameworks, Kathleen Peters, Chief Innovation Officer at Experian, stated: “Agentic commerce represents one of the most significant shifts in digital commerce since the rise of mobile. As AI agents become active participants in online transactions, businesses need infrastructure that establishes trust without slowing down the customer experience.

Experian’s Human to Agent Binding is foundational to that trust, creating a persistent connection between verified people and the AI agents acting on their behalf. Fastly extends those trust decisions to the edge, helping organizations authorize transactions in milliseconds while creating secure, seamless experiences for consumers and businesses alike.” Reaffirming the commercial potential of shifting from defensive security to revenue-generating authorization, Jeff Alpen, Vice President of Fastly’s Partner Ecosystem, added: “As AI agents become an increasingly important channel for digital commerce, businesses need a way to distinguish trusted, authorized agents from everything else. Instead of treating every autonomous agent as something to block, Fastly enables businesses to verify who is behind the request, attach commercial value, and authorize transactions in real time. We help organizations turn trusted AI agents into a competitive advantage without requiring them to rearchitect their existing infrastructure.”
