Bot management vendor

Cequence Security

In short

Cequence Security offers bot management with an Agent Trust feature aimed at shoppers' personal AI agents, Meta Muse and OpenAI Dots among them, yet its pages never say how an agent's identity is checked. Sensors can sit inline to block, rate limit or deceive, or watch passively, on premises or in the cloud, and no price is listed.

What Cequence Security does for this layer

From the vendor's own pages

Cequence's bot management page says Agent Trust verifies each agent's identity, keeps analysing its behavior, and stops scraping or account abuse while allowing legitimate actions. (cequence.ai) Cequence names Meta Muse and OpenAI Dots as personal AI agents that now shop and buy on customers' behalf. (cequence.ai) Cequence lists blocking, rate limiting, header injection and deception as its real-time bot mitigation options. (cequence.ai) Cequence deploys on premises, in the cloud or hybrid, with software sensors that inspect traffic passively or sit inline for real-time mitigation. (cequence.ai)

Cequence AI Gateway authenticates each enterprise agent through the customer's identity infrastructure and applies DLP scanning to agent requests and MCP server responses with more than 100 built-in detection types. (cequence.ai)

Claims the vendor makes about itself

Cequence's homepage reports 10 billion daily application interactions and 200 million daily agentic interactions on its platform. (cequence.ai) Cequence says it blocked tens of millions of inventory-scraping requests for Ulta Beauty. (cequence.ai)
