Gartner predicts that 60% of large enterprises will implement passwordless methods by the end of the year. Going passwordless reduces the risk of password-based threats, improves usability and reduces operational cost. 

When weak and stolen passwords are responsible for 61% of all data breaches (Verizon), is it time to ask ourselves whether going passwordless is the future, and in 2022, are we ready to remove passwords altogether? 

Join us in this episode as we discuss: 

-  Hype-free explanation of what passwordless really means
-  Why going passwordless and effective password management go hand in hand 
-  Passwordless authentication and SSO
-  Challenges to adoption
-  Building your passwordless implementation roadmap
-  The industries embracing going password free 
-  Is passwordless the future?

Can We Go Passwordless in 2022?

In 2022, your attack surface will be larger than ever before. From the onset of the hybrid workforce to huge waves of data being produced, security teams around the world are working hard to reduce their attack surface and improve operational security. But to do this, effective vulnerability management is a must-have. 

A successful vulnerability management program must have visibility over the entire organisation and the right tools. This year, unpatched vulnerability endpoints will continue to be exploited, and building up your vulnerability management is key to avoiding a breach. 

Join us in this session as we discuss: 

-  The importance of patching 
-  Taking a risk-based approach to vulnerability management
-  AI and fraud prevention 
-  How security teams are “cleaning up” vulnerabilities left behind by Covid
-  Attack surface reduction and management

Vulnerability Management in 2022: Reduce Your Attack Surface

Guest speaker, David Holmes, Forrester’s analyst for Zero Trust, works with clients assessing maturity and building Zero Trust programs.  In his talk, he will share the concise definition for modern Zero Trust and show how both Forrester and CISA measure its maturity in an organization.  He will address where to start, and will finish with a look at the purest form of Zero Trust on a network, a subject he is quite familiar with having just published the world’s only evaluative research with his Forrester Wave: Microsegmentation, Q1 2022.

Building a Zero Trust Roadmap

The Log4j vulnerability caused widespread panic with organizations rushing to assess the impact caused and deploy mitigation strategies. These types of vulnerabilities are not only here to stay, but will continue to expand in frequency and impact.  

In this webinar, hear from Guardicore, now an Akamai company, on how you can discover and protect against vulnerabilities by first identifying potentially exploitable processes.

Microsegmentation offers a way to drastically reduce the attack surface by isolating systems that potentially have the log4j vulnerability, shielding them from exploit attempts, and preventing machines that were successfully hacked from attacking others.

 Join us to learn about:
- The evolution of the Log4j threat
- How to uncover and reduce risk to vulnerable systems
- Protection methods that can be used against zero-day attacks
- Why adopting microsegmentation to reduce the attack surface is key

As Kubernetes (K8s) catches on and becomes a staple in almost any datacenter, it is more important than ever to understand the network security boundaries and gaps that come with the territory. 

What is the shared responsibility model between security and developers? How do you apply network security guardrails without impacting the dynamic nature of rapidly deploying software?

We will answer all these questions and more, while trying to demystify the network security around K8s.

Join us to learn about:
- Why microsegmenting a K8s cluster is crucial 
- Differences between securing K8s compared with legacy environments
- How microsegmentation can accelerate your cloud migration

Demystifying Kubernetes Network Security

Security leaders regularly have to conduct a cost/benefit analysis of the solutions in their stack to make intelligent investment decisions. While there are many tools in the marketplace that can aid with calculations, such as cost of downtime calculators, understanding the true economic impact of a solution is much more complex and nuanced.

Guardicore commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study, interviewing Akamai Guardicore Segmentation customers on their experiences, to understand the wider impact of this solution.

Join this webinar to hear the economic considerations our guest speakers from Forrester Consulting uncovered, including:
●     The impact on security operations productivity
●     Typical hardware cost reductions
●     Upfront costs for the organization
●     A 3 year ROI calculation

Building the Business Case for Microsegmentation

Zero Trust has emerged as the cybersecurity strategy of choice for today’s organizations around the globe. Rather than a single technology, Zero Trust comprises a security framework based on two simple concepts: “never trust, always verify” and always assume a state of breach.
