Agentic AI traffic targeting financial websites raises security challenges
Agentic artificial intelligence traffic to financial websites more than doubled in May, data showed. New Human data indicated the surge could signal the financial sector as the next major industry for AI-driven automation. Financial services accounted for about 1 percent of total agentic AI traffic, but dedicated finance-focused AI agents are being developed. Security concerns are growing as agentic browsing can resemble malicious activity, complicating detection and raising cyber risk alerts.
