Leading companies worldwide choose Akamai to build, deliver, and secure their digital experiences — helping billions of people live, work, and play every day. Akamai Connected Cloud, a massively distributed edge and cloud platform, puts apps and experiences closer to users and keeps threats farther away. Learn more about Akamai’s cloud computing, security, and content delivery solutions.

In this "If Your APIs Could Talk" episode, we’ll explore API Security Recon capability, now available to all Akamai API Security customers. Recon helps security teams gain an external attacker’s view of their attack surface by automatically discovering publicly exposed domains, misconfigured endpoints, leaked secrets, and other risks, without requiring traffic mirroring, internal access, or prior environment knowledge.

We’ll walk through how Recon maps your public-facing network footprint using open-source intelligence, performs lightweight detection of API exposures, and seamlessly surfaces validated findings in the platform. You’ll see how this capability enables organizations to proactively mitigate external API risk and enhance their overall security posture without incurring operational overhead.

Ep. 18 - Learn what your attackers see with API Security Recon

SIG Download: Episode 19 - The Hunt Is On – Exposing Threats Before They Strike

APIs are a growing attack vector, exposing organizations to threats like unauthorized access, injection attacks, and abuse. Traditional access control models struggle to enforce business-specific authorization, leading to security gaps.

In episode 16 of If Your APIs Could Talk, we examine API3:2023, BOPLA (Business-Oriented Process-Level Authorization) as a solution for implementing fine-grained, context-aware access controls within APIs. We will cover key security challenges, real-world attack scenarios, and how BOPLA enforces dynamic policies to mitigate risks while maintaining performance and compliance.

Gain practical insights into integrating BOPLA with API gateways, designing scalable authorization frameworks, and applying policy-based access control that adapts to real-time business contexts. The session will also explore how BOPLA enhances security by leveraging attribute-based access control (ABAC), role-based access control (RBAC), and risk-aware authentication models. Additionally, we will discuss best practices for monitoring and auditing API access, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing security without introducing latency.

Ep. 16 BOPLA-Driven API Security: Enforcing Process-Level Authorization for Threat Mitigation

Cyberattacks are growing more sophisticated, leaving no industry untouched. As organizations expand digital operations and interconnect systems, the attack surface widens — particularly in high-target sectors like retail. One of the most dangerous tactics used by attackers is lateral movement, allowing them to silently escalate access and compromise critical assets.

When you're under attack, every second counts — and Akamai can help, whether you're a customer or not. From the moment a threat is detected, Akamai provides immediate support to contain and neutralize attacks in progress.

Organizations around the world rely on Akamai Guardicore to stop lateral movement through real-time microsegmentation, minimizing breach impact and securing high-value systems. And with Akamai Hunt’s proactive threat-hunting services, backed by behavioral analysis, anomaly detection, and IOC identification, even stealthy threats can be uncovered and addressed before they cause serious harm.

No matter your size, industry, or existing setup — if you're under attack, Akamai is ready to help.

Join us to learn how to:
- Contain ransomware with microsegmentation that stops lateral movement.
- Detect early-stage attacks using behavioral analysis and IOCs.
- Uncover stealthy threats through proactive threat hunting with Akamai Hunt.
- Implement Zero Trust controls across hybrid and cloud environments.

Dominate The Digital Shelf: Winning SEO Strategies For Today’s Retail Landscape

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

SIG Download: Episode 17 - Spring-Cleaning for Cybersecurity: Eliminating Hidden Risks

Imagine an attacker effortlessly accessing sensitive user data—simply by modifying an API request. In Episode 14 of If Your APIs Could Talk, we dig deep into Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), the #1 API security risk in the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023), allows just that. This webinar unpacks how BOLA attacks happen, from unauthorized data exposure to full account takeovers, and why traditional access controls often fail. 

You’ll learn how to detect and defend against these threats using robust authorization models, API security gateways, and real-world mitigation strategies. Join us to expose the risks lurking in your APIs before attackers do.

Ep. 14 - The Hidden Dangers of BOLA

Healthcare organizations across the globe have asked their non-essential employees to work from home. But many are unprepared for the sudden surge in remote users. Moreover, the unique needs and use cases within the healthcare industry present very specific security challenges. 

Most VPN setups for healthcare companies were not scoped for large numbers of remote workers, and scaling access with these legacy technologies is expensive, time consuming, and complex.

Akamai Enterprise Application Access solution is an edge-based, intelligent, adaptive alternative to legacy access solutions. As a cloud-native service, it is designed to be deployed quickly and scale dynamically, so that you can rapidly provision secure access to mission-critical applications, for remote workers, with a single set of security and access controls. Your IT teams can scale resources to meet the demands of the business in any environment.
