AI browsers like OpenAI’s Atlas, Perplexity’s Comet, and an increasingly agentic Chrome and Edge are changing how consumers interact with the web, and most security teams are not ready for it. David Mahdi, Chief Identity Officer at Transmit Security, explains why customer identity is the overlooked side of the AI agent conversation. While the industry fixates on enterprise agents, consumers can already download an AI browser today and have it act on their behalf without any IT policy standing in the way.

That creates authentication and fraud challenges that existing identity stacks were never designed to handle. Transmit Security is working to adapt proven identity and fraud techniques for this new non-human reality before it arrives faster than anyone expects. Presented by CISO Series.
