DataDome has appointed Pradheep Sampath as Chief Product Officer to strengthen its leadership in bot and agent trust management. Sampath brings extensive experience in identity, authentication, and fraud prevention, having shaped platforms that protected over $200 billion in digital transactions and served hundreds of millions of users.
DataDome is responding to a fundamental shift in digital trust as AI agents increasingly act autonomously on behalf of users. This evolution demands comprehensive protection spanning the full lifecycle of online activity—from initial edge-level bot and agent detection to transaction-layer fraud prevention—while maintaining seamless user and agent experiences.
Sampath’s background positions him ideally to guide DataDome’s next phase. At Entersekt, he led global product and engineering teams to launch advanced authentication and fraud solutions. At ID.me, he drove hypergrowth and platform evolution, securing high-value transactions across government, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors. His expertise in translating complex risk signals into enterprise-grade products directly supports DataDome’s roadmap for broader, multi-layered trust capabilities.
"Agentic commerce is forcing a fundamental rethink of how trust is established and enforced online,” said Benjamin Fabre, co-founder and CEO of DataDome. "Pradheep has been operating at the intersection of cybersecurity and fraud prevention, translating complex risk signals into scalable, enterprise-grade product platforms. Our advanced agent trust roadmap attracted exactly the product leader we need to meet accelerating enterprise demand by extending trust beyond bot mitigation into broader, end-to-end protection."
"The conversation with enterprises has shifted beyond just blocking bots,” said Sampath. “They are now focused on how to safely enable agentic interactions while preserving security, preventing fraud, and protecting revenue end-to-end. That requires extending trust infrastructure from edge security to transaction-layer fraud prevention, exactly what I've spent my career delivering at scale. DataDome's multi-layered AI engine and real-time decisioning architecture already provide this foundation, and I'm looking forward to accelerating that platform to enterprise-scale complexity, helping customers optimize their agentic journeys."
