Organisations have now been building in the cloud for years. 

They have migrated existing workloads and most organisations have started to modernize applications to take advantage of the flexibility that cloud can offer. Organisations have also started to use multiple clouds to deliver best of breed services and differentiation that each cloud offers.

 On the other hand, clouds have failed to deliver on lower costs and applications remain siloed in a single cloud. 

What’s the next step? Are there opportunities to create future forward applications that will save costs and provide better user experiences?

A compliance assessment is one of the most time-consuming tasks security teams are charged with across all industries. Gaining visibility into the network, accurately scoping the environment subject to compliance and protecting it against lateral movement of breaches - are all critical to the success of an audit and are hard to achieve using traditional network segmentation techniques.

Join us for a webinar to learn how Zero Trust segmentation can help your organization achieve compliance and pass an audit with confidence.
Our expert panel will discuss:
- The challenges global organizations face with maintaining compliance in an ever-changing threat landscape
- Why traditional segmentation techniques leave blind spots in visibility and control
- How Zero Trust segmentation can improve your compliance posture and help you pass an audit
- How Akamai is using Akamai Guardicore Segmentation internally to achieve compliance with its own products
- Real-world example of a global financial institution that has successfully implemented zero trust segmentation to achieve compliance.

Navigating the Compliance Landscape in a Zero Trust World

The year 2023 began with a thunderous display of cyber warfare as threat actors took center stage. In addition to the usual gang of cybercriminals, hackers and script kiddies, a very powerful category of malicious actors dominated cybersecurity headlines: State-sponsored actors and hacktivist groups, such as Killnet or the newly emerged Anonymous Sudan, unleashed chaos upon sectors such as banking, airports, healthcare, state institutions and universities.

In this current mix of threat vectors, DDoS attacks turned out to play a major role again. Sometimes serving as a smokescreen for more sophisticated attacks, such as data theft, sometimes as a blackmail instrument in a triple extortion attempt, or used as the main attack method to bring down poorly protected Internet properties that are part of critical infrastructure. Seven out of the 10 largest DDoS attacks Akamai has mitigated took place in the last 24 months, and the trend is pointing upwards. And attacks have not just gotten bigger, but also more sophisticated and targeted. Businesses can no longer assume that their DDoS defense is bulletproof.

Akamai provides one of the most widely used DDoS protection solutions in the world, seeing and analyzing more attack traffic than any other company. In this webinar, you will learn:

• What you need to know about latest DDoS trends
• What questions to ask to check if your own security posture is still sufficient
• What steps Akamai took to keep Prolexic, its DDoS protection platform, ahead of threat actors
• Why a new, universal Network Cloud Firewall was added to Prolexic – how it improves DDoS protection, and what it can do beyond DDoS
• What advantages our new local DDoS data centers offer to Indian businesses

Why DDoS attacks are back - and what Indian businesses need to know
