He recommends moving protection forward to the network edge, using identity recognition to distinguish legitimate AI indexers from malicious crawlers, and provides a six-step architecture roadmap: observability, serverless edge gateway, semantic caching for LLMs, MCP integration, token-based rate limiting, and API-as-Code.
