Agentic AI and Fraud: New Frontiers in 2025 Holiday Season Risk and Defense
Merchant Risk Council
Live webinar on how agentic AI is reshaping eCommerce checkout and fraud defense for the holiday rush—featuring practical orchestration and trust strategies from Spreedly and Forter—online, 60 minutes.

As agentic AI reshapes how shoppers browse and buy, fraud teams face a new mix of opportunity and risk.
This timely MRC webinar—presented with Spreedly—explores how autonomous agents are changing checkout behavior ahead of the peak holiday rush, and what merchants can do to protect revenue without slowing down good customers.
You’ll hear a pragmatic framework for telling “good” agents from “bad,” plus how payment orchestration, trust platforms, and adaptive controls keep performance high while keeping fraud out.
If you attend, you will:
- Understand how agent-led transactions move payments outside the traditional merchant environment—and what that means for oversight and security.
- Learn the emerging tactics fraudsters use with AI-powered commerce (synthetic identities, bot-driven checkouts), so you can anticipate and block abuse.
- Get actionable defenses: orchestration strategies, adaptive authentication, and behavioral analytics that reduce false declines while stopping bad actors.
- See how to preserve performance and flexibility across distributed, AI-agent shopping journeys—so legitimate orders keep flowing.
- Leave with a holiday-ready checklist your payments and fraud teams can apply immediately across platforms and partners.
Built for merchants, payments leaders, and fraud prevention professionals, this session focuses on practical takeaways you can apply the same day—grounded in real operational realities, not theory. The MRC’s webinar program is complimentary, making it an easy add to your team’s peak-season prep.
Whether you’re optimizing an eCommerce stack, orchestrating multiple providers, or tightening controls for Q4, you’ll leave with clarity on what to monitor, how to respond, and where to invest next as agentic AI accelerates.
