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

Nuisance to Strategic Threat: DDoS Attacks Against the Financial Sector

As AI adoption accelerates, new risks emerge — not just in the models themselves, but in the APIs that power them.

In this final session of our 3-part series, we move from strategy to implementation, showing how Akamai solutions can help organizations secure modern, AI-enabled applications. Large language models (LLMs) and AI services rely heavily on APIs to connect to data sources, integrate with applications, and deliver real-time value. This API dependency creates a broader, more dynamic attack surface that must be discovered and secured.

You will learn how Firewall for AI, WAAP, and API Security work together to secure AI workloads, protect sensitive data, and reduce organizational risk. You'll also see how to discover unknown APIs used by AI systems and defend against emerging threats like prompt injection and inference abuse.

What you’ll learn:
-How APIs underpin AI workloads and introduce new security concerns
-The role of API discovery in securing LLMs and AI services
-Demo: Using Akamai’s Firewall for AI with API Security and WAAP
-How to implement layered defenses for application, API, and AI traffic

Who should attend: Security Architects, AppSec leaders, DevSecOps, and teams deploying or securing AI systems.

Ep. 3 - Securing the AI-Powered Stack: How to Protect APIs, Models, and Applications

Modern applications rely on APIs to enable functionality, data exchange, and integration with other services. Yet while application security has traditionally focused on code vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and runtime defenses, it often overlooks the distinct risks introduced by APIs — including exposure of sensitive data, authentication weaknesses, and business logic abuse.

In this webinar, Akamai security specialists will explore the connection between API security and application security, clarifying where they intersect, how they differ, and why both are essential in mitigating today’s evolving threats.

You’ll learn how strengthening API security not only addresses a growing and targeted attack surface but also plays a critical role in reducing overall business risk. We’ll discuss how to identify key API-related risks on your security heatmap and implement strategies to minimize both their likelihood and impact.

Key topics include:

-The relationship between application and API security
-Common API-specific risks and how they affect application security posture
-How API security contributes to risk reduction and operational resilience
-How Akamai can help mitigate against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

Who should attend: CISOs, CIOs, Security Architects, SOC teams, DevSecOps, and security professionals responsible for securing modern applications and APIs.

Ep. 2 - Application Security ≠ API Security. Rethinking Application, API & LLM Security

Securing the Modern Stack: AI, API and Application Protection in 2025

APIs are the foundation of modern digital services — enabling applications to interact, scale, and deliver seamless user experiences. In the AI era, APIs have become indispensable, acting as the fabric connecting AI systems with applications, data sources, and services in real time.

But this increased reliance comes with new risks. Recent research from Akamai’s State of the Internet: Web Application and API Threat Report 2025 and API Security Impact Study: APAC Edition 2025 highlights a sharp rise in API and web application attacks across APAC, fueled by AI-driven techniques and evolving threat vectors. In addition, AI deployments such as Large Language Models (LLMs) are also facing increased threats and vulnerabilities such as prompt injection attacks to model manipulation.

In this webinar, you will learn the latest insights from these reports, examining how organizations in APAC are navigating skyrocketing attack volumes, operational challenges, and compliance risks.
What you’ll learn:

-Web application and API attack trends impacting APAC
