The trust platform for the agentic web
At Google Cloud, we believe preventing fraud and abuse in the agentic web should fundamentally result in a simpler customer experience. Fraud Defense uses a three-pronged approach to help enable a safe agentic web and drive business growth:
1. Preventing evolving threats
We protect your business with the same fraud intelligence that secures many of Google’s services. As threats shift from bot automation and invalid traffic to agent takeover and large-scale, AI-driven synthetic identity fraud, Fraud Defense identifies emerging threats before they reach your site.
This unrivaled visibility, built upon a massive fraud intelligence graph that already protects 50% of Fortune 100 companies and over 14 million domains globally, provides a level of collective immunity and verified trust that local data alone can not match.
2. Securing the customer journey
Attackers don’t target endpoints in isolation; they target digital journeys. This is even more true in the agentic web as agents are being tasked to perform end to end journeys. Fraud Defense provides a unified view of risk — from registration and login to payment and checkout.
By correlating telemetry across the entire lifecycle, our unified trust model identifies complex, multi-stage fraud campaigns that disconnected point solutions miss. This holistic view has demonstrated a 51% average reduction in account takeover (ATO) by accurately distinguishing between legitimate customer activity and sophisticated abuse.
