INDUSTRY
Customers are sending personal AI agents to order food, book stays and request rides on your platform, and most don't announce themselves. Arkose Titan identifies each one, classifies it and applies the policy you set at every step: allow, monitor or block. Alongside it, Arkose Titan fraud prevention stops fake accounts, account takeover and SMS toll fraud at the point of entry, from any source.
Book a DemoThe sharing economy is one of the busiest agent industries Arkose Labs sees, with up to a million agent sessions a week on a single platform. Agents search listings, compare prices and book on your customers' behalf. Block every agent and you turn away customers; allow them all and you open the door to abuse including fake accounts, account takeover and scraping. Arkose Titan identifies and sorts each agent into 1 of 3 groups:
Agents that sign their requests with Web Bot Auth and whose signature is attested. You decide where to let them in.
Agents that act for real customers but stay quiet so they aren't blocked. On delivery and on-demand platforms, roughly 9 in 10 agent logins fall here. Arkose Titan detects them by the device, compute and network behind the session, so you don't turn away customers.
Agents used for fake account creation, referral and promo abuse by swarms, credential stuffing, account resale and scraping. They arrive from the same residential IPs as your customers' own agents. Block them or hold them to a stricter policy.
With Arkose Titan, you set the policy for each flow, and you can start in "monitor" mode to see the traffic before you enforce anything. Let agents search, compare prices, order and book. Block agents from claiming referral and promo credits at volume, opening accounts in bulk, changing payout details or working refunds and support on their own. For actions like these, Arkose Labs is working on proof of human, where the customer confirms they're there before the action completes. We'll announce availability when it's ready.
A customer's agent logs in as them, from their own connection. The old question, human or bot, doesn't answer the new one: whose agent is this and what should it be allowed to do?
Open sign-up, promotions and verification messages made sharing platforms a high-return target for automation long before agents arrived. Now, when a customer's agent acts on their behalf, you need to be able to show which agents are on your platform and what they are allowed to do.
Arkose Titan sees every session, applies your agent policy and runs fraud prevention across account registration, login and authentication, promotions and referrals, SMS verification and APIs.
Device, compute, network, behavior and identity signals identify every visitor as a customer, an AI agent or an adversary, even when the agent doesn't announce itself. Every agent session is classified as self-disclosing good, non-disclosing good or malicious.
Lay out the customer journey (such as sign-up, login, booking, redeeming a promotion, requesting a payout) and set allow, monitor or block for each step, by agent and by population. Start in monitor mode to see what a policy would block.
Arkose Titan applies your agent policy while the interaction happens. Fraud prevention stops fake accounts, account takeover and SMS toll fraud at the point of entry, from any source, and proof-of-work makes attacks too expensive to continue. Customers and their agents pass without friction.

Sharing economy fraud prevention is the set of detection and mitigation controls that protect marketplaces and peer-to-peer platforms from fake accounts, account takeover, SMS toll fraud, promo abuse and automated abuse. It works across registration, login and in-session activity at massive scale, stopping threats at entry without adding friction for real customers.
AI agents fall into 3 groups: self-disclosing good agents, non-disclosing good agents (personal agents such as Muse are an example) and malicious agents. Most don't identify themselves, so detection relies on what an agent does. Arkose Titan sorts agents into these groups and applies your policy for each flow.
Blocking every agent turns away customers, and allowing every agent lets malicious ones through. Platforms can set the policy by action instead: for example, allow searching, comparing prices and booking, and set a different policy for referral credits, promo codes, payout changes and refunds. Arkose Titan identifies each agent and applies that policy.
Attackers create fake accounts in bulk to claim sign-up credits and referral bonuses meant for new customers, then cash out the offer. Arkose Titan evaluates every registration in real time. Fraud prevention stops bots and fraud rings before an offer is claimed, and your agent policy decides which agents can claim one at all.
Account takeover usually starts with credential stuffing, where stolen username and password pairs are tested against login endpoints. Attackers then use the account's stored payment details or collect its payouts. Arkose Titan stops attempts at authentication, before the credentials are used.
Attackers collude with carriers to collect payouts on premium-rate verification messages, and the abuse is often driven by people as well as bots. Arkose Titan identifies abusive devices when a verification message is requested, so platforms can block them before a message is sent.
Let your customers' agents search, order and book. Decide what happens before a referral credit is paid or a payout changes. And fraud prevention stops the fraud that costs you money, from fake accounts to SMS toll fraud, at the point of entry.
