↑ 2%New at Forter: go live in days, not months. Forter's latest innovations include the AI Coding Kit and an always-on integration expert Published: March 17, 2026 The way your team works is changing, and your platform should change with it. Your time is too valuable to spend on busywork - chasing down insights, waiting on reports, or watching an integration drag on for months. Here's what's new at Forter, built to help you move faster, with less friction and more confidence. AI integrations to go live faster. Integrations are expensive - not just in dollars, but in time. Engineering teams get pulled off work, timelines slip, and the value you expected from a new solution keeps getting pushed further out. For too long, "going live" has meant months of back-and-forth before you see any results. That's exactly what the Forter AI Coding Kit was built to solve. The AI Coding Kit eliminates manual effort and helps you go live with Forter in days, not weeks. It analyzes your codebase and implements Forter's services automatically, without your engineers writing a line of integration code from scratch. Instead of spending months reading documentation and building manually, the coding kit builds the integration for you - with fewer errors and less back-and-forth. The kit works with the tools your engineers already use: Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Windsurf, and other AI-enabled development environments. And it runs entirely within your own infrastructure, so your code never leaves your environment. On top of the AI Coding Kit, Forter Ltd. has also built the Prism Integration Agent: an always-on integration expert that builds a structured integration plan, answers your questions, and troubleshoots and validates your integration, so it's flawless from day one Whether you're building a new integration or confirming you're production-ready, you'll be able to move faster, with fewer engineering resources. For many brands, having data isn't the hard part. Knowing what it means - and what to do about it - is. Most teams are drowning in dashboards but starved for clarity, waiting on reports, and manually working through chargeback queues that never seem to shrink. You may already know Forter Prism as the AI copilot built into your Forter portal, helping you get better insights faster and spend less time on manual work. Here's what it can do for you now. Summarize dashboards. Stop digging through dashboards to figure out what changed and why. Prism now automatically surfaces the most important shifts in your data, their underlying drivers, and the recommended next actions - so your team spends less time interpreting and more time acting. Build policies. Crafting abuse policies no longer requires technical expertise or lengthy back-and-forth. Just describe what you need in plain language, and Prism automatically builds your policy - while ensuring your business maintains control. Analyze chargebacks. Get a clear picture of your chargeback trends, understand where performance is slipping, and take immediate action - all in one place. Whether you're bulk disputing chargebacks, assigning cases to an analyst, or generating reports, Prism turns a time-consuming process into a streamlined workflow. Every feature is built around a simple belief: your team's time is too valuable to spend on busywork. Whether you're integrating for the first time or looking to get more from Forter every day, these tools are designed to help you move faster, with less friction and more confidence.

"Our partnership with ESW removes that barrier. Together, we're helping brands enter new markets securely and deliver the seamless experiences today's global consumers expect." "ESW enables brands to sell into more than 200 markets with localized solutions for payments, logistics, and compliance," said Tonia Luykx, Chief Revenue Officer at ESW.

Forter furthers AI innovations to deliver deeper intelligence and workflow efficiencies. News provided by. New AI Agent copilot, Forter Prism, investigates transactions, builds dashboards, explores connections across Forter's merchant network and more NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Forter, the Trust Platform for digital commerce, released new AI innovations that deliver enhanced visibility, speed and insights aimed at further improving merchant performance in the 2025 peak shopping season and beyond. AI is fundamentally changing digital commerce, reshaping everything from the customer experience to operations to the tactics used by bad actors. In fact, Forter has seen a 2,107% surge in agentic activity in its network in the last 180 days and a 202% increase in automated fraud attempts over the last year. Forter's deep roots in AI decisioning, combined with its latest product innovations, provide customers with a significant advantage in the detection, investigation and recovery from emerging AI fraud vectors. The recent product enhancements also address a growing visibility gap for merchants, giving them even greater insight into the scale, volume and behavior of agentic commerce traffic and transactions. Forter Prism: AI Copilot for Faster, Deeper Insights To deliver insights at the speed of commerce, Forter is introducing Forter Prism, its in-portal copilot to simplify workflows and put powerful, actionable insights at merchants' fingertips. * Instant answers: Converse directly with Forter Prism to get immediate data insights, including how a specific performance indicator has changed and the reason behind it, and building complete, operational dashboards for performance measurement - all through a conversational interface. * Transactional investigation: Surface the data points used to approve or decline individual transactions and then summarize the rationale in everyday language. "Every retailer, merchant, and direct-to-consumer brand is looking to find ways to be more efficient - not just for the sake of cost savings, but truly to keep pace with the speed of evolving consumer behavior and expectations," said Rachel Levy, chief operating officer, Brooklinen. "Forter has always stood out in how they put the retailers and brands at the heart of their solutions. With Forter Prism, they are delivering yet another major innovation that will support the balance of revenue generation and consumer satisfaction." Understanding Agentic Activity with Network Benchmarks Most merchants lack visibility into agentic traffic, often unaware if agents are referring users, making purchases on their sites or being used to commit fraud. This missing insight makes it difficult to set the foundation and prioritize work needed to tap into this new and rapidly evolving commerce channel. Building on its Agentic Activity dashboard, Forter has added network benchmarks to give businesses even greater insight into how their AI activity compares to the rest of Forter's global network of 400,000 businesses. Additionally, the company has added more granular insights by region and vertical, plus AI-generated explanations, to its public AI dashboard, offering deeper insights into agentic commerce. "With market shifts and threats moving this fast, businesses can't afford to risk missing a critical agentic insight or manually translate complex data into decisions," said Eran Vanounou, chief technology officer, Forter. "These latest innovations are giving businesses the speed, insight and confidence to navigate peak season with ease."
