Presented by Ashok Naiku, Sr Enterprise Security Architect • Fastly
The internet is undergoing one of its biggest transformations since the rise of mobile: automated traffic is no longer limited to search engines and simple bots. AI assistants, Large Language Models, and autonomous agents are increasingly discovering, purchasing, and interacting with online services on behalf of people. As the internet begins talking to itself, organizations must rethink how they distinguish beneficial automation from abuse, protect APIs, and define access and trust without blocking innovation. This session explores the evolution of internet automation, emerging security challenges, and how modern approaches to bot management, API security, and responsible AI can help organizations prepare for an increasingly autonomous future.
