Its latest State of the Internet report argues that browser extensions, autonomous AI agents, and decentralized AI usage are creating new attack paths that conventional enterprise defenses were never designed to detect or manage effectively.

The conversation around enterprise AI has changed remarkably quickly. A year ago, most organizations were still debating whether employees should use generative AI tools at work. That discussion is largely over. AI assistants now draft code, summarize documents, analyze data, and [...]

By December 2025, AI bots represented 47.9% of commerce traffic observed on its network, forcing retailers, travel operators, payment providers, and marketplaces to reconsider how they identify customers, machines, and criminal automation at scale in production.

The immediate problem is not simply more hostile traffic. It is that legitimate automation and criminal automation are beginning to look operationally similar. Shopping agents browse product catalogs, compare prices, assemble carts, and use stored credentials. [...]
