The dead internet theory: What an AI-dominated web would mean for security

Is the internet becoming less human - and how should organisations respond?

This on‑demand webinar explores the Dead Internet Theory and what it means for cybersecurity leaders, risk teams, and decision‑makers navigating an AI‑driven digital world. As non‑human traffic, generative AI, deepfakes, and autonomous agents rapidly reshape online activity, traditional assumptions about trust, authenticity, and identity are breaking down.

In this session, Richard Ford and Brian Martin examine how much of today’s internet is already machine‑generated, why attackers are adopting AI at scale, and what organisations must do to adapt their security models for a world where human interaction is no longer the default.

What you will learn:

• What the Dead Internet Theory really means—and why it matters beyond conspiracy culture

• How non‑human traffic, bots, and automated agents are changing the threat landscape

• The real‑world impact of deepfakes, AI‑generated phishing, and voice cloning

• How agentic AI is accelerating cyber attacks and vulnerability discovery

• Practical steps to protect identity, trust, and authenticity in an AI‑first internet

Who this on‑demand session is for:

• CISOs and cybersecurity leaders

• IT and security operations teams

• Risk, compliance, and identity professionals

• Business leaders assessing AI risk and trust frameworks

• Whether you’re already deploying AI or just beginning to assess its impact, this session provides critical context and actionable insight.

Why watch now?

The internet isn’t “dead”—but it is changing faster than most security models were designed to handle. With automated attacks operating at machine speed and deepfakes becoming part of everyday fraud and disinformation, organisations must rethink how they verify users, protect identities, and establish trust online.

This on‑demand webinar helps you understand what’s coming next—and how to prepare.
