DataDome Brings Real-Time Control & Monetization Of AI Agents in New Partnership with TollBit at Black Hat USA 2025

DataDome to showcase how its multi-layered AI platform expands AI agent control at Black Hat

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DataDome, the leader in cyberfraud protection, is proud to announce its partnership with TollBit, a platform that offers AI agents and applications an easy and compliant way to compensate websites for content, to deliver stronger protection and a new way to unlock value from AI bot traffic. At Black Hat USA 2025 on August 6-7, DataDome will showcase how its multi-layered AI platform gives businesses full visibility and control over AI agents and LLM-driven traffic.

Agentic AI is driving a fundamental shift in how businesses assess identity, detect fraud, and monetize digital experiences. Unlike traditional bots, AI agents mimic human behavior at scale, browsing, transacting, and extracting data in ways that blur the lines between user and machine. Across DataDome’s customer base, AI traffic more than tripled in just six months, rising from 2.6% to 8.2% of all verified bot traffic. In June 2025 alone, the company detected nearly 1.2 billion requests from OpenAI crawlers. Across TollBit’s network of more than 2,200 sites, there has been a 20x increase in AI bots blocked and redirected to the TollBit Bot Paywall this year. These rapid surges underscore the urgency for businesses to adapt and take control.

DataDome recently announced major advancements to its platform and partner ecosystem that help businesses navigate the rise of agentic AI. DataDome’s new partnership with TollBit adds a monetization layer to this control. While DataDome’s AI-powered detection blocks malicious scrapers and threats in real time, TollBit helps businesses identify compliant AI bots and monetize their access. Through a single integration, customers get unified visibility into all scraping activity, granular control over who gets in and how, and built-in monetization tools like AI agent paywalls, customizable pricing, and automated authorization. The result is stronger protection, more control, and a new revenue opportunity from AI agents that play by the rules.

“Agentic AI is forcing every business to rethink how they handle traffic, revenue, and risk,” said Aurelie Guerrieri, Chief Marketing & Alliances Officer at DataDome. “It’s no longer enough to just block bots; you need to identify intent, control access in real time, and monetize it when it makes sense. That’s why our partnership with TollBit is so powerful. Together, we’re giving businesses the tools to protect their assets and turn AI agent traffic into a new revenue stream.”

“Our partnership with DataDome is another step in creating an ecosystem-wide solution for publishers and creators," said Toshit Panigrahi, CEO and Co-founder of TollBit. "By collaborating with world-class partners and maintaining a tech-agnostic approach, we’re uniquely able to integrate with the platforms our network already trusts. We’re excited that DataDome customers will now have the option to seamlessly monetize their AI visitors via TollBit.”

These latest innovations will be showcased at Booth #5430, where DataDome will demonstrate how its AI-first approach gives businesses a competitive edge in an AI era.
