What’s New at the Edge

Companies accept a degree of loss as a cost of doing business. This may be from shrinkage, fraud or cybercrime. Controls, especially on the web, can be added to help mitigate this risk - but do the cost, complexity and friction that these controls create outweigh the benefits?

Join us for a debate on how to balance friction against loss, finding the centre of gravity between customer experience, cybersecurity, and fraud losses.

Why you should attend:
- Learn how inline controls can be used to address fraud and loss
- Understand the ROI for fraud mitigation
- Determine customer experience expectations  

To hear our live debate, register today.

Does Fraud Mitigation Mean Customer Frustration?

The banking and financial services industry is under increasing threat from cyberattacks. In particular, data stored by financial organizations — including bank account and credit card numbers — remains a designated target both for direct exploitation and resale purposes in the deep web.

The impact of a cyberattack can be devastating, so in response to this growing threat, the financial sector is creating proactive measures to thwart attempted cyberattacks.

Join us in this session, where BBVA, one of the biggest banks in Spain and Patrick Sullivan will discuss the threatscape, touch on current trends and attack vectors within the financial services sector, and explain how to stay ahead of the game.

What's hitting us lately: Attack vectors in Financial Industry

These days, just about every enterprise web application uses APIs. And that’s led to a growing deluge of API attacks. Fact is, APIs ...

• Can be difficult to defend with traditional web application security solutions
• Create hidden security gaps in mobile applications
• Appear to have played a role the tripling of web attacks from 2020’s record year

In this webinar, you’ll learn about practices that can lead to the release of vulnerable applications, steps you can take today to mitigate potential threats, and other findings from our upcoming State of the Internet / Security report.

[state of the internet] / security API: The Attack Surface that Connects Us All

According to W3Techs, more than 94% of websites rely on in-browser scripts to create better customer experiences. But third-party scripts have also created an expanded threat surface that bad actors are eager to exploit. Unwanted ads, pop-ups, and banners can be costly to the user experience and your bottom line, with an estimated 1 in 4 website transactions lost due to what we call audience hijacking. Even Google acknowledges that this type of in-browser script attack is the most common user complaint about Chrome.

This session explores several aspects of audience hijacking:
Different ways online audiences can be hijacked 
The security and risk implications of this new attack vector  
How today’s digital businesses can fight back and prevent these problems from persisting

Audience Hijacking — How This Script-Based Attack Can Kill Online Business

This new decade has already provided many lessons. One is that the mantra “never let a good crisis go to waste” could have been written for the cybercriminal fraternity. Another is that the concept of digital trust is rapidly becoming a business imperative in the digital era. At the heart of all this, as always, is security: the critical barrier between data integrity and compromise; and a fundamental building block for digital trust. Engendering digital trust is a business imperative, but it requires leadership and governance from board level to ensure that it becomes part of the very fabric of the business. Hence the theme of this event.

On behalf of Akamai, Richard Meeus joined the fire-side chat with IDC analyst Martin Sundland. They talked about security @ work and why it needs a larger view, combining the new technologies with work culture, user experience and leadership.

IDC Security - From Secure to Trusted: A Journey to Digital Leadership

The past few months have been a very dynamic time in the world of security for hackers and threat researchers, but they have been an extended nightmare for CISOs responsible for securing their enterprise networks. 

With multiple zero-day exploits being used to attack on-premises versions of Microsoft Exchange Server; the Silicon Valley security camera company, Verkada; and F5 BIG-IP products, you may be left wondering how this happened.

This webinar will take an in-depth look at these breaches and how they could have been avoided, including:

- What should and shouldn't be exposed to the public internet
- Why moving to a zero trust–based security model can help
- How to reduce the threat surface

How to Avoid Breaches Caused by Zero-Day Hacks

This webinar looks at a case study of NHS Forth Valley and how they were able to quickly enable secure access to their application estate during COVID-19.

What we will cover:
- How NHS Forth Valley implemented their remote working practices
- How NHS Forth Valley eliminated their VPN challenges, created a reliable user experience, and enhanced security
- Best practices to achieve fast, secure, and easy access to all applications
- How to grant the right user the right level of access to the right data at the right time

How Public Sector Are Enabling Secure Cloud Based Application Access

2020 presented a unique set of challenges for everyone, but that didn’t mean cybercriminals took time off. In fact, it turned out to be the opposite.

Hackers targeted the financial services industry more than ever, with credential stuffing being the attack vector of choice last year.

Join us as we explore the findings from our latest State of the Internet report. 

We found that:
• 3.4 billion credential stuffing attacks were launched against financial services companies
• There were 736,071,428 web attacks
• 51% of attacks came through Local File Inclusion

Register for our live webinar today to find out more.

Credential Stuffing in Financial Services

The on-line sports betting industry is one of the most dynamic and competitive markets in the world. With no restrictive contracts in place, operators focus on delivering a great player experience to avoid churn. Churn not only drives an immediate loss in revenue but also incurs significant costs to reacquire players.

In this webinar, Akamai and EGR discuss extending the delivery network “edge” into a player’s device, near real time observability across the entire technical value chain can be dramatically improved. Moreover, by moving key operational processes to the edge, operators can not only reduce the impact of poor connectivity on the player experience, but also ensure they are best placed to take advantage of 5G latency improvements. 

Key discussion points

What benefits can Edge technology offer sports betting marketing and operational teams alike in delivering a next gen gameplay experience and the opportunity to drive real competitive advantage?

Edge technology helps sports betting operators to:

●    Improve observability and strategic decision making through the delivery value chain. 

●    Move core functions closer to the players, providing a pathway towards fundamentally improving the gameplay experience and reducing issues. 

●    Ensure operators are able to take full advantage of the promise of 5G.

Betting at the Edge

C-Level executives are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals: according to an IBM survey, “64% of CFOs, CHROs and CMOs feel the least engaged in cybersecurity threat management activities, yet are the stewards of data most coveted by cybercriminals.” With cybersecurity no longer limited to the concerns of the IT department and the broader workforce, in 2021 the risk of breaches and attacks touch every part of the organisation.

Integrating security controls at all business levels, sharing incident data and making cybersecurity an essential pillar of business considerations and training goes a long way to help CISOs and security leaders navigate the increasing threats and vulnerabilities. 

In this month’s episode of The (Security) Balancing Act we’ll be sharing how IT security leaders can ensure everyone - and every part - of the business is safe. Join as we evaluate:

-  To what extent cybersecurity should be a priority in the C-Suite
-  How C-Level execs should consider their role in relation to cybersecurity
-  How training and education can help CISOs navigate increased risk at all business levels
-  And more

This episode is part of The (Security) Balancing Act original series with Diana Kelley. We welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive panel session.

Cybersecurity in the C-Suite

Talking to CISOs today, there are two themes that keep coming up — ransomware and FoW (Future of Work).

Complex and weighty problems they may be, but they can be addressed with adopting a single architecture that works with your continuing digital transformation plans.

This session will cover how Zero Trust Network Access can:
• Provide fast, secure access for your users wherever they are, as well as to your applications wherever they are
• Prevent network-level access to your estate — reducing the risk of ransomware and its ability to spread
• Fully enable identity-based access to your applications and easily implement least privilege

How Zero Trust Network Access Can Help You Sleep at Night

IT and security leaders are moving forward with the new realities of the hybrid workplace. Working from home, or remotely, is now just ‘work’. As employees begin to mobilise again, organisations need to maintain an agile and frictionless security model, which at the same time compliments an ever-growing migration of applications to the cloud.
 
In this webinar, a panel of expert speakers discuss how Zero Trust security was propelled forward in 2020, and the vital role of secure access service edge (SASE) in implementing this approach going forward, as more organisations undergo digital transformations.
 
Discussion topics:
- Why move to a user-centric and location-agnostic Zero Trust security model
- How Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) can be the next step in your SASE adoption
- How an edge strategy supports organisations’ future digital growth

How Zero Trust Enables Remote Working and Builds to a SASE Vision
