Ensure Cyber Resilience: Maximizing ROI on Your Zero Trust Journey with Akamai

Achieving a solid network segmentation policy is only the beginning. In today’s dynamic threat landscape, even the most well-architected segmentation policies require continuous tuning and vigilance after deployment. This session dives deep into the evolving world of Day-2 network security — where static rules become liabilities, and policy maintenance is a continuous battle against misconfigurations, overly permissive access, and silent policy failures.

Join us to explore 7 critical real-world scenarios that expose hidden gaps in segmentation strategies — from overshadowed and zero-hit rules to unrestricted admin access and rogue remote tools. Learn how attackers exploit these weaknesses and how security teams can shift from a “set it and forget it” mindset to a proactive, adaptive approach.

We’ll cover actionable techniques to:
- Detect and eliminate overly broad or obsolete rules
- Enforce least-privilege communication at scale
- Use automation and traffic intelligence to continuously optimize your policy
- Bring hidden attack paths to light — before adversaries do

Companies are spending billions in AI, building apps like customer service chatbots and decision tools to help customers select the best products. And there is much riding on these apps – organizations expect these big investments to create revenue, streamline operations, and reduce costs. Unfortunately, along with the new opportunities come new threats.

AI-driven applications are non-deterministic, giving different results every time even when given the same input. And because of this, bad actors can manipulate and attack these apps in unique ways. These attacks often go unseen and undetected, so you could suffer significant damage before you realize what happened. In this talk, we’ll show you how you can protect yourself from these new dangers.

Find out:
- The most misunderstood risks of AI apps
- The most common attacks and how they hurt companies’ top and bottom lines
- How security teams and business leaders can partner successfully to get the most ROI from AI apps
- Questions to ask when evaluating AI Security solutions

Securing AI-Driven Apps: Stopping Attacks Before They Stop You

Credit card skimming has long been a challenge to security teams. From physical devices to online harvesting attacks such as form-jacking and script injection, hackers are continually evolving strategies to stay ahead of web protectors. The most recent and steadily increasing skimming approach takes advantage of partner and supply-chain third-party scripts present in applications. While traditional methods of blocking suspicious intrusion into apps remain valuable, massive breaches and increasing fines make it imperative to act now to prevent personally identifiable information theft.
 
Join this talk to understand:
- The history and scale of Magecart attacks
- How the rise of third-party scripts can increase vulnerabilities
- Analysis of script compromises and mitigation approaches
- Attributes of an effective Magecart protection service
- Tips for analysing your third-party script situation
