No one is a stranger to the complexity of cyber. And with confusion, comes misconception.

In this special episode of The (Security) Balancing Act, Diana Kelley and cyber experts will sit down, and deep dive into the common cyber myths.

Does compliance equal security? Is data safer on-prem than in the cloud? Will AI take our jobs? What misconceptions drive you crazy? Bring your best myths and join Diana Kelley and guests as we decipher common cyber myths in a bid to clear up the confusion.

Cyber Myth Busting: Blasting Common Misconceptions

API and App Security is no joke. As the volume of API use increases, so does the likelihood of an attack. APIs are powerful tools for developers but when they are left vulnerable, easy targets for cybercriminals they are essentially passageways to business-critical data, and this year, bad bots are becoming a bigger threat for APIs than ever before.

In this month’s episode of The (Security) Balancing Act, we’ll be deep diving into API risk, and how to navigate this growing threat. Join us as we discuss:

-  Defending against DDoS attacks
-  Why it’s crucial to manage your app & API security in one place
- Why API keys must be protected

APIs make up the fabric of the financial services industry - they bridge the customer to the product. 

However, according to recent research by Akamai, as of June 2022, there have been over 9 billion web application and API attacks across the globe. This is three times more than we saw in 2021. Given the value of APIs to the modern organisation, it’s no wonder that they have become a pathway for attackers to infiltrate the network. This talk will cover lessons learned from analysing data across our platform and customers’ best practices. 

Leaders must act now to ensure security is consistent and applied across their entire estate, including web apps and APIs. But what can you do specifically to secure your APIs and how has digital transformation impacted API security? Join us in the third and final episode of Actionable Insights from Akamai as we discuss:

- Best practices for securing your APIs
- How to leverage the cyber kill chain to evaluate your API risks  
- Insights from global Threat Intelligence to enhance your API protection 
- And much more!

Protect Your APIs: Invest in Securing Your Digital Innovation

Digital Transformation (DX) is creating waves of change across all industries, especially in financial services. While the benefits of DX far outweigh the negatives, if not done carefully it can create more risk and complexity across financial environments. Join Akamai to discuss lessons learned from our customers and partners.

The move to cloud, DevOps, APIs, Fintech and open banking are just a few examples of the ways in which the financial services industry is embracing all that digital transformation has to offer. However, with change comes risk. But what are these risks and how does cyber security innovate with the business to protect customers while ensuring a great experience.

In this session we will discuss:

- How to embrace digital transformation while reducing complexity
- Ways in which digital transformation impacts overall risk portfolio
- Approaches to reduce vendor overhead and increase integrated capabilities through single platform

Adapting to Changes in Your Threat Environment

Could your organisation truly survive a data breach and emerge unscathed? 

If the answer is no, or maybe, your cyber security strategy needs a rethink. The importance of preventing and protecting your organisation against a cyber attack is now a fundamental ‘must’, not simply an option. If your organisation was attacked, how would the attacker be detected and moreover, what response plan is currently in place and how could impacts be minimised?

In this fireside discussion, ESG Analyst John Grady is joined by Richard Meeus, Akamai’s EMEA Director of Security Technology and Strategy to explore how to bullet-proof your data for 2023. 

Join them to discuss: 
-  Why active prevention is now a security 'must-have' instead of a 'nice-to-have'
-  The risk organisations will face in 2023
-  How to minimise the impact of a breach
-  The state of ransomware in 2023 
-  And much more!

Get Ahead of the Game: Preparing for 2023’s Inevitable Cyber Security Breach

If we have one key takeaway from the past two years, it’s that competition for customer loyalty is fierce. It’s no secret consumers became less loyal to brands during the pandemic as products became more difficult to find due to compounding global supply chain issues that still remain. As a result, improving and differentiating CX to retain and attract consumers became – and will remain - a top priority for digital investment. But if you don’t have the right defenses in place to protect these online investments from malicious or unwanted activity – you leave your customers, reputation and bottom line at risk.

Join us in the final episode of the series as we apply key learnings from 2022 trends to help your organization not only survive – but thrive – online throughout 2023.

In the final episode we will discuss:

-  Top security trends within the commerce space for 2023
-  What 2022 has taught us about the importance of protecting customer trust
-  Importance of collaboration between security and digital experience teams

A Look Towards 2023: Considerations for Protecting Customers and Loyalty, Online

In 2022, we’ve seen all sorts of shifts in the cybersecurity world. Nation state attacks, phishing and the growth of AI are only three out of the myriad of trends. In many ways, it’s been an unpredictable year, and security leaders have had to think on their feet to keep up with the wave of change. 

As the year comes to an end, it’s beneficial to evaluate the key trends we’ve experienced in the past 12 months, to truly consider and begin to understand what’s in store for us in the year ahead, and to plan for the unexpected. 

Join us in the final panel of 2022 as we discuss: 
-  Top security predictions for 2023
-  Balancing security and privacy
-  The evolution of the C-Suite 
-  And much more

Top Cybersecurity Predictions for 2023

Il controllo della supply chain, la prevenzione dei movimenti laterali e il ransomware sono tematiche che stanno impegnando quotidianamente i responsabili della security. Ma in uno scenario in cui i budget vengono ridotti e c’è mancanza di personale qualificato, come è possibile contrastare le minacce e mantenere un rischio accettabile per le aziende?

Software Based Segmentation: Come Ridurre i Tempi Della Security

Attracting customers to your website is only half the battle; Keeping them there is what matters most. That’s why creating and maintaining a seamless digital experience once they’ve arrived is crucial to optimizing the customer journey and driving conversions.

Did you know that according to Akamai research, –~15% of potential user sessions are interrupted by an unwanted pop-up or browser extension, potentially luring customers away to a competitive - or even fraudulent site? This “audience hijacking” represents a real source of damage to investments made to build brand loyalty – with bottom line repercussions .

Gaining visibility into and control over how extensions interact with your website will give your retail organization an upper hand against unwanted activity impacting – and distracting – your customers.

Join us in this session as we discuss:

-  The impact of audience hijacking on the customer path to purchase
-  Other client-side threats to brand loyalty (i.e. Magecart style attacks)
-  How to reduce affiliate and ad fraud
-  How the pandemic impacted customer loyalty
-  How to better control your brand experience – and online investments
-  Balancing protecting revenue with building customer relationships

Customer Loyalty: Protecting the Client-side Experience

The multicloud is no longer a stranger to the enterprise. Research shows that the majority of companies operate applications in more than one cloud. Today’s focus is now on workloads. How can you determine which types of cloud platforms are most suitable for your workloads so that you can achieve your development and business objectives? Join Akamai and 451 Research in a discussion about the current state of the multicloud IT infrastructure, including the latest trends and analysis, and how to identify where in the cloud you should house your workloads. The session will cover:

- How to effectively “workload shop” so that you can achieve your agility, maintenance, performance and budgeting goals.

APIs - How to Protect this New Keystone of the Internet

Maintaining and deepening customer trust is imperative, especially in a post-pandemic world where brand loyalty is up for grabs. With the unprecedented shift to life online, retailers and specifically those in ecommerce have struggled to gain visibility into their online traffic – both legitimate and malicious. That’s why being able to quickly detect and block malicious bot activity – like credential stuffing, content scraping and inventory hoarding – not only improves customer experience during the path to purchase but also protects against online revenue loss.

Join us as we discuss:

-  Why enhancing visibility into online traffic is critical for safeguarding customer trust
-  The damaging effect of malicious bot activity on customer experience and conversions. -  The latest tools available today to combat malicious bots
- Understanding the account takeover (ATO) kill-chain to prevent fraud
- The benefits of real-time analysis into bot traffic
- Reducing the risk of being impacted by malicious bots

Understanding Bots: Protecting your Customer Experience… and Bottom Line

The traditional model of enforcing security at the network perimeter is no longer valid as employees, devices, and workloads move outside the corporate network.
 
A Zero Trust model offers an alternative that secures data while ensuring it is accessible from wherever employees are working. But finding the right technological approaches to Zero Trust is challenging.
