In this episode of This Week in NET, host João Tomé sits down with Stephanie Cohen, Cloudflare’s Chief Strategy Officer, for a candid conversation about AI, content creators, financial services, partnerships, and the future of the Internet. Stephanie shares how Cloudflare is helping keep the Internet open and resilient — from giving creators transparency and control over AI scraping, to enabling new models of agentic commerce through partnerships with Visa and Mastercard, to empowering organizations of all sizes through Cloudflare’s global network.

95 hours back. Every. Single. Month. One of the many outcomes from our ZTA journey with Insurity. They didn’t just deploy Zero Trust — they operationalized it. Reach unified controls, automated remediation, and eliminated the manual effort slowing progress. Results:︎ 81% less manual work︎ 95 hours saved per employee per month︎ Months → days for rollout︎ Zero Trust that sticks.

No Fluff, Just Real-World Threats This isn’t your typical marketing webinar. We cover what Agentic AI actually looks like in production, how MCP servers work to broker instructions, and what kind of new threats are emerging. Agentic AI isn’t coming. It’s already here. Autonomous agents are now operating in production environments, reasoning, remembering, and taking real actions across your systems. They’re not just generating content. They’re triggering workflows, modifying records, and making decisions. And they’re doing it over APIs.

AI agents have moved past conversation into action. They book transactions, pull sensitive data, and chain tools together through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) traffic. Every one of those actions runs on APIs, and that connective tissue is where the risk sits. Salt Security Co-Founder and CEO Roey Eliyahu and VP of Product Strategy Nick Rago walk through the risks in the agentic action layer and show what Salt does about them.

AI agents run on APIs, and that is where most security programs have a gap. Salt Security Co-Founder and COO Michael Nicosia and CMO Michael Callahan explain why you cannot secure AI without securing the APIs underneath it. An AI agent uses an LLM to reason and an MCP server to broker calls out to other systems, and every one of those calls is an API interaction. Deploy one agent and the traffic multiplies. Deploy hundreds, and the internal east-west traffic climbs to several times what a pre-AI environment carried.

AI is evolving fast, but are your workflows truly secure? Most teams rely on DLP or redaction tools that strip sensitive data or block it entirely — but that limits your AI's potential. In this video, learn how Protecto’s SaaS Masking & Unmasking APIs help you process sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI) securely, while staying compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, DPDP. No more trade-offs between data protection and powerful AI.

Partnership over Procurement Why true collaboration between vendors and security teams is still rare — not because the intent isn’t there, but because most engagements stop at feature checklists. The alternative is more interesting: build together, solve together, and create solutions that fit how teams actually work rather than how tools assume they work. This mindset drove our work with Insurity — a real example of what happens when a security team engages deeply instead of treating tooling as a finished product.
