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.

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

Zero Trust has cemented itself as a business must-have for resiliency and readiness. But how do you get the most out of Zero Trust?

In this webinar, the Creator of Zero Trust himself, John Kindervag, discusses what the foundations of your Zero Trust strategy should be. The talk will also cover:
• How has Zero Trust spending shifted this year?
• Practical Zero Trust implementation and the importance of visibility
• Real world examples of Zero Trust implementation successes and pitfalls
• How to apply these insights to your Zero Trust initiatives moving forward

Join us to learn all about the current state of Zero Trust and what it means for you.

Understanding Zero Trust: Trends and Predictions

The e-commerce industry is among the most attacked verticals. This is unsurprising as ecommerce companies have aggressively adopted an API-driven business model, making them more vulnerable to attacks. This is at the same time despite, retailers having some form of web security protection. It is never enough as attacks are getting more sophisticated.  

Learn to understand what is at risk if you have your online security compromised which would affectively raise red flags with your customers and also hurt your brand image and loyalty.  

In this session, you will learn about: 

• Top cyber risks faced by digital retailers
• What motivates fraudsters in retail
• How can you protect your brand and keep your customers secure

Building Growth Leadership in a Post-Pandemic Economy

You have to see something to secure it. While the shift from traditional on-premises data centers to cloud, multicloud, and hybrid cloud models has unlocked many new business benefits, it has also increased the size of the attack surface while diminishing the effectiveness of perimeter-focused security.

Businesses seeking to reduce attack surface can benefit from greater visibility and more granular policy controls that can be applied consistently across the data center, any cloud, containers, virtual machines and all workloads.  

This led to the evolution to software-defined segmentation which allows companies to apply workload and process-level security controls to data center and cloud assets. And the crux to success lies with visibility. 

Join Marc Lainez, Senior Solutions Engineer, to find out more about how you and your organization can ensure that your microsegmentation journey is a success by gaining the right level of visibility through: 

1. Visualization of assets and application dependencies down to the process-level activities
2. Multi-dimension visibility across hybrid environments
3.Detection of malicious connections and lateral movements
4.Discovery of non-compliant and high risk asset exposures including zero day threats
5.Collection of unique telemetries for Zero Trust posture assessment

Getting visibility and security right for workloads in hybrid environments

The financial services industry continues to be one of the most widely attacked industries in the world. Akamai Security Research observed 3.5x growth in web app and API attacks against financial services in the last year. They also noted the alarming speed at which attackers are leveraging zero-day vulnerabilities to target financial services organizations and the increased complexity of these assaults.

What’s behind this escalation in attacks?

Join us in this webinar where you will learn:
• Attack vectors commonly used against financial services
• Factors that led to the surge in web app and API attacks
• Risk exposures of financial services

You can also read about these threats in our latest State of the Internet (SOTI) report, Enemy at the Gates: Analyzing Attacks on Financial Services.

Not Every Cloud Is Meant for Every Workload

Join Matt & Dev for a chat about real-life examples on delivering large-scale, cost-effective solutions for higher education, commerce, healthcare, and local government.

Dev will share how Anomaly, an all-Australian software engineering and design company, has evolved; and their journey building open-source innovative solutions using different cloud compute platforms, including Linode.

Attend this interactive session for an open exchange and take your ideas to the next level.

Innovating with Linode: From Virtualization to Electric Vehicles

Alternative clouds and multi-cloud architectures provide agility, ease of use and cost savings to businesses in managing workloads. As they gain prominence in the market, business leaders and developers have to consider how to reap the full benefits of this strategy. 

How can businesses architect and deploy cloud native architectures that are completely cloud agnostic and take advantage of everything cloud has to offer?

In this session, we’ll cover 3 main topics on building a cloud native application architecture:
- Cloud native attributes of an application
- Main steps in developing a cloud native architecture
- Example of a 3-tier architecture with a database on StatefulSets in Kubernetes

Architecting Cloud Native Applications on Linode

A multi-cloud strategy gives companies the freedom to use the most suitable cloud for each specific workload. Business teams also want to achieve higher agility and cost savings through this strategy. However, this is not always the reality of multi-cloud. Deep learning curves, lack of quality support, as well as inconsistent and hidden cloud costs are still challenges facing cloud users and buyers.

With Linode, we want to offer customers a great choice outside of the “Big Three”. Get better cost optimization and avoid vendor lock-in, while enjoying enterprise grade reliability, award winning customer service, and great ease of use. 

During this session, you will hear how Linode's platform accelerates innovation, and why hundreds of thousands of businesses and developers around the world use it to deploy their modern applications faster and easier.
