NEW YORK, NY – April 9, 2026 — Kasada, a leader in protecting digital businesses from automated and human-driven fraud and abuse, today announced it will serve as the title sponsor of the 2026 RH-ISAC Cybersecurity Summit, taking place April 13-15 in Austin, Texas.
Hosted by the Retail & Hospitality Information Sharing and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC), the annual Summit brings together cybersecurity leaders across retail, hospitality, and consumer-facing industries to collaborate on emerging threats and defenses.
As fraud rapidly shifts upstream, attackers – whether bots, coordinated human networks, or AI agents – are interacting directly with digital systems in ways that are increasingly indistinguishable from legitimate users. The impact is felt long before a transaction occurs, driving revenue loss through scraping and account abuse, distorting pricing and inventory, and increasing operational costs across infrastructure and support.
Traditional defenses, designed to detect fraud after the fact, are no longer sufficient.
Kasada’s approach focuses on stopping harmful interactions before they impact systems –restoring visibility across bot, human, and agent activity to give organizations control without introducing friction for genuine users.
At the Summit, Kasada will share insights into this evolving threat landscape and the rise of agentic commerce, where autonomous systems increasingly participate in online transactions.
Kasada will also present a keynote session:
Title: “Fraud & Abuse and the Agentic Commerce Reality: A Reality Check”
Date and Time: April 15, 2026 | 1:00-1:45 PM CT
Speakers:
- Sam Crowther, Founder & CEO, Kasada
- John Byun, CISO, Sephora
The session will explore emerging fraud trends in retail and hospitality, the rise of agentic commerce, and strategies for protecting digital experiences without adding friction.
The Summit is open to cybersecurity practitioners working in consumer-facing sectors. Registration is required.
