Can Pega detect user agent spoofing?

Pega uses user agent string in the request header to generate browser specific markups. Can it detect user agent spoofing?

Is there any future change request logged to deprecate the usage of user agent string to identify browsers due to security considerations?

Hello Nandhini, 

https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/tracking-requestor-user-agents informs about tracking requestor's user agent in Pega 7. 

On your query(if PRPC detects user agent spoofing), I am checking with product specialist. I will keep you posted once I hear from them. 

Regards,

Rincy
