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.

Guest speaker, David Holmes, Forrester’s analyst for Zero Trust, works with clients assessing maturity and building Zero Trust programs.  In his talk, he will share the concise definition for modern Zero Trust and show how both Forrester and CISA measure its maturity in an organization.  He will address where to start, and will finish with a look at the purest form of Zero Trust on a network, a subject he is quite familiar with having just published the world’s only evaluative research with his Forrester Wave: Microsegmentation, Q1 2022.

Building a Zero Trust Roadmap

Zero Trust has emerged as the cybersecurity strategy of choice for today’s organizations around the globe. Rather than a single technology, Zero Trust comprises a security framework based on two simple concepts: “never trust, always verify” and always assume a state of breach.

Don’t miss three Zero Trust experts discussing how to construct a comprehensive security framework to not only fight threats at the perimeter but also stop lateral movement of malware across your network. You will hear from guest speaker, Forrester Sr. Analyst Jess Burn, Akamai VP and CTO Charlie Gero, and Guardicore Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Ariel Zeitlin.
 
Attend this webinar to learn:
• How to defend against malicious code moving laterally across your internal network
• What an ideal Zero Trust framework looks like in the real world
• Practical tips for implementing microsegmentation and other key Zero Trust security technologies

Whether you’re wondering how to begin the Zero Trust journey or have already begun and want to know the next steps, this session is for you.

The Enemy Within: Fighting Cyber Attacks When The Intruder is Already Inside

The second half of 2021 offers a new opportunity for small to medium-sized businesses to retain and grow their customer base, as consumers move to shop or transact with smaller, more local businesses, turning away from the trends of 2020.

That means their online experience has to be comparable in terms of secure and dynamic experiences that scale. Whether your business is affected by traditional holidays, flash sales, or the occasional unexpected peaks, your website and apps need to be ready.

Join Akamai’s Tara Bartley, Senior Industry Marketing Manager, and Solutions Engineer Sam Marenco, as they share:

- Best practices for peak/seasonal readiness as it relates to security, optimized and immersive experiences, and reliability 
- What other SMBs have implemented in terms of checklists and preparedness across technology stacks
- The importance of partnering with trusted technology providers

Retain and Grow Your Customer Base with Exceptional Online Experiences

Building great digital experiences often involve leveraging serverless edge computing, microservices, IaaS, client-side functionality, and APIs. These modern development practices – while designed to produce highly personalized, fast, and always-on user experiences – also introduce risk. A big reason is that IT and security teams struggle to support the business given the high velocity of code releases and the inability to keep pace with changing applications and APIs.   

If we take a lesson on simplicity from developers, organizations today need to rethink how cloud security not only drives stronger protections but adds value with ease of use. Managing multiple security products, for example, can translate to higher costs, more complexity, and the need for skilled talent — which is untenable for most organizations. The critical role of securing applications and APIs in today’s global business world amid evolving attacks, ranging from web app business logic attacks to API abuse to DDoS, requires holistic and extensible security you can actually use.  

In this session, you will learn:  

* Where the security market is going with converging technologies in 2022 
* How adaptive security can stop the most evasive attacks, automatically 
* How to mitigate the OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerabilities 
* How to reduce the cost, effort, and complexity of securing all your app & APIs

How to Maximize Security Through Simplicity

Organizations need application security that includes DDoS protection, bot management, advanced API protections, as well as a single pane of glass that combines configurations, reporting, analysis, and support. Gartner says, “By 2024, 70% of organizations implementing multi-cloud strategies for web applications in production will favor cloud WAAP services over WAAP appliances and IaaS-native WAAP.”  
 
In this second part of managing all your apps and APIs security in one place, Akamai Solutions Engineers dive deep into the technical aspects of a cloud WAAP where you will learn:

- How customers rely on Akamai’s security engineering team to ensure optimal protection with automatic tuning recommendations
- Importance of accuracy of an anomaly-based risk scoring methodology to minimize false positives and false negatives
- Benefits from automatic virtual patching where zero-day risks like Log4j are immediately and transparently mitigated

Fuel Secure Digital Growth for all Apps & APIs

According to W3Techs, more than 94% of websites rely on in-browser scripts to create better customer experiences. But third-party scripts have also created an expanded threat surface that bad actors are eager to exploit. 

This session explores several aspects of audience hijacking:
- Different ways online audiences can be hijacked 
- The security and risk implications of this new attack vector  
- How today’s digital businesses can fight back and prevent these problems from persisting

Audience Hijacking — A Serious Threat to Online Retail

Modern applications are built as a collection of services, each with differing compute and data needs. So much so that Akamai acquired Linode to better serve our customers.

Learn how edge compute fits into your cloud strategy. Whether you’re ready to build at the edge or want more out of your CDN, Akamai can help identify where edge computing can improve the digital experience in your existing application architecture.

We’ll take you on a journey highlighting how edge computing is accelerating our customers’ digital transformation goals.

Coffee Talk | Akamai + Linode What does it mean for you?

Retailers face dynamic and complex attack surfaces - both physical and digital – requiring defenses that prevent attackers from moving laterally across networks as they seek to locate, exfiltrate then encrypt and block access to sensitive data.

 

And the stakes are high. Retail is the number one most targeted vertical by organized ransomware gangs, intent on gaining access to critical customer and company data. Combined with escalating geo-political tensions and the resurgence of destructive malware strains engineered to wipe systems, data and backups, organizations must quickly detect and stop the spread of malware to contain the blast zone of an initial infection.

 

As noted by Forrester, micro-segmentation is an essential cornerstone of implementing a Zero Trust strategy, enabling granular protection and deep visibility into east/west dataflows via software defined policies to stop lateral movement of threat actors. Join Akamai in a Q&A style discussion to learn more about how micro-segmentation can help retailers drastically reduce attack surfaces and risk of a business-disrupting intrusion or breach, ultimately keeping data safe - and out of the hands of cyber criminals.

Akamai & RHISAC: Reducing Ransomware Risk for Retailers

Since the very early years of digital transformations, we've seen the constant struggle between the need for security versus the need for performance.  

In other words, inspection, visibility, and mitigation of security threats on the one hand, be they fraud, account takeover, denial of service or zero-day vulnerabilities like log4j and spring4shell, versus optimal end user experience leading to higher search engine rankings, higher customer satisfaction and conversions, and lower bounce rates and site abandonment on the other

In this talk we’ll hear from Akamai Solutions Engineers as they explore:
- The inherent challenges and complexity of delivering high quality web experiences
- How companies are no longer faced with choosing between improving the end user experience and an optimal security posture.

Join us in this conversation where Akamai researchers discuss what they have found and how modern enterprises should and can act as defenders from such hacking organizations.

What do Conti leaks mean for defenders?

"¡Viva La Evolución!  … The Evolution of DDoS and what you need to do to prepare for it.”

In a time of economic and geopolitical volatility, cyber threats like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are alive, well, and bigger than ever.  Join your industry peers and Akamai’s network security experts for a presentation and panel discussion on the current threat landscape and the tools and techniques we bear to meet this threat head-on.

Adam Frank, Industry Engagement Marketing Manager, Akamai

The Evolution of DDoS and what you need to do to prepare for it

Your risk of a DDoS attack and proof that attackers can carry out their attacks successfully has risen significantly since 2020. Mostly driven by the largest global extortion campaign ever launched. Unlike other extortion activity from years past, where there was little follow-through on the actual threat, recent show-of-force attacks reached 500+ Gbps — a clear sign of highly capable and motivated threat actors. The extortion campaign signaled a notable shift in targeted verticals, with attackers expanding beyond commonly hit industries like finance & commerce, catching many software/high tech organizations off guard and left scrambling for protection.
In light of recent global geo-political events, attackers have been even more unpredictable, determined, and incentivized than ever before, it’s time to rethink DDoS defenses. 

We’ll discuss:
 - An understanding of the evolution of DDoS extortion 
- The ramifications on current security postures
 - The latest best practices to fight back and reduce your risk to you and your customers.
