ABOUT THIS EVENT

Fastly’s latest Threat Insights highlight a structural shift in the internet: automated traffic now rivals, and often exceeds, human activity. The challenge is no longer just scale, but determining which traffic creates value and which introduces risk, cost, or exposure.

In Australia, this is driven by a more mature security landscape, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and the need to align protection strategies with measurable business outcomes.

At the same time, agentic AI is accelerating a new phase of automation, where systems can not only request information, but also act, transact, and make decisions.

In this executive roundtable, we’ll discuss how organisations are:

  • Moving beyond “allow vs block” toward intent-based traffic management

  • Balancing security, performance, and cost at scale

  • Rethinking access, trust, and control in an increasingly autonomous web

This will be a candid, peer-led discussion on aligning security strategy with business outcomes in an AI- and agent-driven world.

WHY ATTEND
