Fortifying Commerce in APAC: Conquering API Security Challenges

The surge in ransomware attacks poses a growing threat to both individuals and businesses. Like most malware, ransomware relies on lateral movement within the network to succeed. Many solutions that claim to protect against ransomware focus their efforts on the perimeter, which is fine until a breach inevitably occurs. Without a proper segmentation solution in place, the scope of the breach can be tremendous.  

Akamai helps businesses remediate and protect against the effects of ransomware by visualizing all assets that are communicating in your environment, quickly implementing policy to limit communications with the infected assets, and securing ransomware recovery efforts.

Learn how you can cut the ransomware kill chain with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation.

Ransomware Protection – Key Actions to Take When Under Attack

Join us for a dynamic webinar focused on strengthening cyber resiliency in the modern digital landscape. 

As cyber threats grow in complexity and frequency, organizations must adapt their defenses to withstand potential attacks. Unlike conventional security measures, which often focus solely on prevention, cyber resiliency emphasizes the ability to anticipate, adapt, and evolve faster from cyber incidents effectively.

In this webinar, discover how Akamai offers innovative solutions to enhance cyber resiliency 

- Understand challenges in the evolving cyber risk and regulatory landscape
- Establish resilience with a holistic security approach covering API security, DDoS, and ransomware mitigation

Cyber Resiliency — Adapt and Evolve Faster Than Threats

APIs are the primary mechanism for driving innovation and growth across the healthcare ecosystem. They facilitate the sharing of patient data while supporting appointment reservation platforms, access to lab test results, and patient-doctor communications. 

APIs are essential for regulatory requirements that give patients access to their own records. But with every opportunity comes challenges, and the volume and complexity of data that’s accessible and by whom, can have immense clinical and financial repercussions if the evolving threat landscape is not managed with appropriate security controls.

Join Akamai leaders Giora Engel, VP of API Security, Steve Winterfeld, Advisory CISO and Carley Thornell, Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Marketing Manager to discuss prioritizing API discovery, use cases, detecting abnormal access and abuse patterns, and how to keep patients – and their data – safe.

Knowing is half the battle: API discovery's role in healthcare cybersecurity

In an era where data breaches and cyber threats loom large, safeguarding sensitive information within APIs stands as a paramount concern for organizations. Join us as Menachem Perlman, our Director of Solutions Engineering discusses the pivotal significance of secure data storage within API frameworks.

Join us in the first episode of our new monthly series on API Security, Join us to gain actionable insights and practical strategies for enhancing your API security posture through robust and secure data storage practices.

Don't miss this opportunity to fortify your organization's defenses and ensure the integrity of your API-driven operations. Register now for the series.

Ep. 1 - The Importance of Storing Data in Your API Security Strategy

In today’s digital economy, most organizations across Asia Pacific are already entrenched in the hybrid multi-cloud approach to business technology for competitive advantage.

Along with this trend comes challenges arising from the complexity and cost of an ever-evolving cloud infrastructure – and the need to manage endpoint devices, apps and data sprawled across an extensive boundary.

How should organizations in Asia Pacific optimize cloud performance, cost, connectivity, security and visibility in the connected world of apps and data today?

DigiconAsia and Akamai recently put together an e-guide to address these concerns. We invite you to join us in a webinar where Victor Ng, Editor-in-Chief, DigiconAsia, will discuss some of the most salient points raised in the e-guide with Matt Lynn, Senior Director, Akamai Cloud Computing Services and Jay Jenkins, CTO, Akamai Cloud Computing Services.

Overcoming Cost and Complexity Challenges in the Cloud-First Era

Organizations face a major decision about their cloud computing strategy. Should you continue with your current cloud architecture and tools, even if it is not meeting customers’ needs? Or should you adopt a different approach, which is more open and distributed, swapping out a platform-centric approach for one that is cloud native?

In our webinar, three cloud computing experts discuss these topics and others relating to the pros and cons of different cloud computing models.

What to expect:
• Gain valuable insights from the observations on current and future cloud and edge computing trends.
• Learn about where each panelist is on their cloud journey, where they plan to head next in 2024, and why.

Why attend?
• Hear about the benefits of a distributed cloud computing model.
• Discover more about the current and future uses of edge computing.
• Find out about the differences between a platform-centric versus a cloud-native approach.

Join us for a lively and engaging discussion.

        disruptions.

How Observability Can Proactively Safeguard Your Customer Experience

The debate of prevention vs. response is a tired one in cybersecurity. Both sides have valid (if cliché) points. Yes … an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And yes… breaches are inevitable, so we must be capable of a timely response. In the rapidly changing digital landscape, organizations are constantly seeking tools that can seamlessly bridge this gap. 

Enter microsegmentation — a transformative approach.

Its innate ability to ward off threats, coupled with the agility to swiftly manage and mitigate breaches, makes it an invaluable asset in any cybersecurity toolkit. As threats grow in complexity and scale, understanding and leveraging the multifaceted capabilities of microsegmentation becomes not just advantageous, but essential.

During our data breach webinar, you will: 

- Discover microsegmentation’s dual role: deterring breaches and enabling rapid countermeasures
- See how this tool minimizes attack fallout, strengthening your defense posture
- Leverage advanced techniques and tactics to minimize MTTR during cyber events
