The Internet Became the Attack Surface. Why Digital Risk Protection Has to Be Rebuilt.
For a decade, security focused on defending the inside: endpoints, identities, networks, cloud, email. The industry got good at it, so attackers moved on. They went to the open internet, where your brand, executives, and customers are exposed and anyone can pose as you.
The problem is accelerating. In June 2026, automated traffic passed human traffic online for the first time. As the internet becomes agentic, attackers use AI to spin up impersonation sites and fake profiles by the hundreds, in minutes, at almost no cost. Meanwhile, your own AI agents are reading a web full of content adversaries have planted.
Classic digital risk protection was not built for this. It relies on manual takedowns and disconnected tools, an approach designed for a slower internet. Against machine-speed attacks, it cannot keep up, and adding analysts does not fix it.
This session makes the case for Next-Generation Digital Risk Protection: a fundamentally different approach for the AI era. If you lead security, fraud, brand, or executive protection, this is where digital risk protection goes next, and why it has to.
Key takeaways:
- Why the perimeter moved: the economic math that pushed attackers to the open internet, where attacking keeps getting cheaper while defending keeps getting more expensive.
- What the agentic internet changes: automated traffic now outnumbers human traffic, attacks are generated at machine speed, and your own AI agents are reading a poisoned web.
- Why classic DRP has a structural ceiling: not bad tools, a labor model trying to keep pace with a machine, and what a next-generation approach has to do differently.
Outtake helps the world's leading brands, governments, and institutions take out internet threats and restore digital trust. One platform across Brand, People, Location, and Product, instead of five disconnected tools.
