Akamai secures and delivers digital experiences for the world’s largest companies. Our intelligent edge platform keeps apps and experiences closer to users — and attacks and threats far away. Top brands globally rely on Akamai so their businesses can be fast, smart, and secure.

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

Cost-effective Distributed Load Testing using JMeter and Akamai

Organisations have now been building in the cloud for years. They have migrated existing workloads and most organisations have started to modernise applications to take advantage of the flexibility that cloud can offer and to deliver best of breed services and differentiation that each cloud offers. These cloud-smart organisations are incorporating distributed and edge cloud capabilities that multiply redundancy, improve end user performance, and reduce costs.  

However, 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?

Discover how Akamai Connected Cloud brings together the world’s most distributed platform for cloud computing, security, and content delivery.

From Cloud Native to Native Clouds – Scaling your Business to the Edge

When Forrester Consulting contacted hundreds of enterprise cloud strategy leaders for a new study, commissioned by Akamai, the responses showed that multicloud only achieves its potential with a workload-first strategy. The study, The Great Cloud Reset, describes the key issues those tech leaders face in implementing multicloud today and in the future, including:

• 41% struggle to find a cloud services provider that can meet data sovereignty requirements
• 88% said they have six or more applications that need to run in multiple regions
• Two-thirds are prioritizing architecture that supports workloads across the core and edge
• More than two-thirds said placing workloads in the right clouds optimized performance, reliability, and resilience

For more of Forrester’s findings, join our webinar on June 14 at 10 AM ET. Register today to reserve your place.

Application Security for Billions: Lessons Learned from Securing Web Apps and APIs at Internet Scale

Whenever you hear people talking about web and application security, you’ll often learn about the latest way to make sure you’re not ingesting user supplied input the wrong way, or how to write secure code to prevent cross site scripting, etc. 

But, have you ever wondered what it’s like to secure business critical websites, and the ever-evolving growth of API’s and bespoke applications that are developed every day across thousands of websites in dozens of countries around the world?

In this webinar, Tony Lauro, Akamai’s Security Technology and Strategy Director, will cover:
- What defenders are doing at scale to defend the evolving threats targeting websites 
- Methods for cutting out the noise of benign, but annoying vulnerability verification requests
- Best practices for managing large scale security configurations
- Some of the ways that defenders are winning against these unimaginable odds, as well as how attackers are targeting these very same applications hoping to bypass security by obscuring their attack techniques

Lessons Learned from Securing Web Apps and APIs at Internet Scale

It’s no shock that organizations understand the inherent value of microsegmentation. Despite only 36% of organizations using microsegmentation today, 91% anticipate using microsegmentation in the next two years. This gap is in part due to the use of the wrong tools, but also confusion as to where to start with a microsegmentation project. While many businesses plan on using microsegmentation to support their Zero Trust goals, the breadth of these projects can lead to unforeseen challenges.

Exploring Key Use Cases for Microsegmentation

Zero Trust represents a real opportunity for business growth, for greater operational security, and for organizational alignment. But understanding where Zero Trust fits into your security strategy, and how to prioritise ZTNA, is key to setting you apart from the crowd.

Making Zero Trust a Priority for Your Cybersecurity Strategy

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

Scalemates.com, the largest scale-modeling website in the world, reached a breaking point with regards to their data center in Germany. The company serves a global audience, handles translation into 16 languages, and has 6 million pageviews. Most of this traffic previously routed through this data center, resulting in significant performance degradation and bottlenecks.

In this interactive workshop, we will uncover the design choices, challenges, and best practices when migrating Scalemates.com from a single data center to a distributed, automated cloud architecture on Akamai and Linode. 

We then explain how your company can utilize these migration tactics, and the Scalemates.com success story, to facilitate your own distributed cloud journey. The conversation includes:
• How to understand the problem (speed of ultra-dynamic content)
• The various design options
• Future improvements based on the Linode roadmap

Tech Workshop: Distributed Cloud Migration Tactics & Success Story

In our previous webinar, we discussed building out your Zero Trust roadmap. But what about segmentation? If Zero Trust achieves security measures by leveraging segmentation, what can you do to get started on your segmentation journey and ensure success for your Zero Trust initiatives?

Segmentation does not have to be cumbersome or costly. The key is to protect your critical assets and grow from there. But what is your first step to getting started with segmentation, and what are the critical processes involved?

Join us in this webinar where you will learn:
• How to gain visibility through segmentation
• How to get started on your segmentation journey
• Why it’s okay to start small with segmentation
• And more!

Get Started with Segmentation

Zero Trust is no longer just a buzz phrase. It has become a business staple. Zero Trust represents a move away from “trust but verify” to “never trust, always verify.” And with your attack surface growing and threat landscape shifting, it’s no surprise that you are beginning to consider Zero Trust as a business must-have.

But how do you get started with your Zero Trust roadmap? What are the key considerations and the potential challenges you could face?

Join us in this webinar as we discuss:
• Best practices for creating your Zero Trust roadmap
• How Zero Trust helps to facilitate digitization and cloud migration efforts
• How does Zero Trust enable the hybrid workforce?
• The value of proactive protection, and why it’s important

How To Achieve Zero Trust

Modern websites today interact with third parties to provide enriching features like marketing automation, personalization, analytics, social media, login and payments to name a few. This setup although necessary, creates a broad attack surface for your website and its users.
With surge in online transactions across banking, commerce and media & entertainment providers, threat actors such as Magecart are increasingly targeting businesses and its users with web skimming (Javascript based) attacks. Such attacks lead to loss of sensitive information such as credit card details, user credentials and other sensitive data.

In this live security briefing, you will learn about:
- Threats to your JavaScript ecosystem posed by groups like Magecart
- Different approaches to defending from client-side script attacks
- Current state of script protection and its gaps
