"That's an additional attack surface beyond your web/app checkout. API gateways, WAF/bot mitigation, and rate limits become part of checkout security, not just a 'nice-to-have'. This means that CIOs will have to implement new reference architectures and runtime controls; new privacy, consent, and contracts protocols; and new fraud stack component integration."
"This is a major shift in posture. It pushes retail IT teams toward deliberate agent gateways, controlled interfaces where agent identity, permissions, and transaction scope are clearly defined. The security challenge isn't the volume of bot traffic, but non-human actors executing high-value actions like checkout and payments. That requires a different way of thinking about security, shifting the focus away from simple bot detection toward authorization, policy enforcement, and visibility,"
UCP implementation requires retailers to expose REST endpoints for creating, updating, and completing checkout sessions, increasing the attack surface beyond web and app checkouts. API gateways, WAF and bot mitigation, and rate limits become essential components of checkout security rather than optional defenses. Retail IT must deploy new reference architectures, runtime controls, privacy and consent protocols, and integrate fraud-stack components. The posture shift mandates deliberate agent gateways that clearly define agent identity, permissions, and transaction scope. Security priorities must move from simple bot detection to robust authorization, policy enforcement, and visibility to stop non-human actors from executing high-value transactions.
