Reality Defender has been responding to the rise of agentic threats, prioritizing multiple detection models rather than a single scoring system. Charm, a 2026 RSAC Innovation Sandbox company, deploys its proprietary Human Vulnerabilities & Exploits (HVE) model to power fraud prevention agents that can deliver real-time insight into human intent, manipulation, coercion and deception. Various agents can be malicious, parasitic or so-called “shadow agents,” which are agents deployed and authorized by the customer to work against a business’ financial interests: “the customer authorized them. But they’re operating outside your security perimeter, often holding your customer’s credentials, and are entirely indifferent to your cost model.”
