Cequence Security introduced Agent Trust to help organizations identify AI agents that present an identity and detect those that do not. The company said its research found traffic matching Meta’s Muse agent across more than half of the customers it studied within two weeks, including activity that standard checks would likely miss.

Cequence analyzed traffic from Sep. 1 to Sep. 24, 2026 across customers in financial services, retail, travel, software and other sectors. At the median customer, Muse traffic grew nearly sixfold within about two weeks of first appearing, according to the company’s findings.

Cequence said Muse ran a real Chrome browser in the cloud, directed by an AI model that reads each page and decides what to click, and routed its traffic through a consumer VPN. The agent did not sign its requests or identify itself as an agent, so Cequence said it looked like a person to most security tools and was detected through behavioral analysis. The report also described Muse completing multi-factor authentication on users’ behalf and supporting browsing and purchase flows.

Agent Trust pairs identity verification with behavioral detection that Cequence said it had used across bot and API traffic. It includes detected agents inventory, an issuer registry verified against providers an organization trusts, an agent activity log and behavioral analysis via Cequence Intent Graph, and transaction-level enforcement that can block, rate-limit, or challenge specific actions. “AI agents like Meta's Muse are bots that act on behalf of real customers. Many businesses can't see them, and those that can are tempted to block them,” said Hari Nair, VP of product management at Cequence. “Agent Trust lets businesses block the action, not the agent. The agent keeps working for its customer, and the one request that crosses a line gets stopped, slowed or challenged.” Agent Trust was made available immediately as part of Application and API Protection.
