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.

It has been established that microsegmentation is a fast-growing essential business building block - from gaining visibility into your applications and workloads, developing your security posture, and enabling Zero Trust - microsegmentation represents exciting advancements for operational security.

But there are many approaches organizations have at their disposal, and understanding the tools and solutions that suit your business needs and requirements is essential for longevity and success.

In this session, we’ll be reviewing the solutions and tools available today, the mistakes to avoid, and how to set your business up for success.

Join Akamai and Enterprise Strategy Group Analysts as we discuss:

- Considerations before assessing Microsegmentation vendors
- Where historical microsegmentation tools have fallen short in the past, and the tools available today
- How you can gain visibility into your network using Microsegmentation
- AI and machine learning in the microsegmentation space
- And more!

Join this webinar to get an exclusive first look at our white paper.

Exploring Key Use Cases for Microsegmentation

We’ve all heard “it’s not a matter of if, but when.” While that adage relates to cybersecurity, it’s also hyper-relevant in healthcare. The question is not if we’ll need medical services, but when – and now, where. 

Over the course of the last three years, the concept of healthcare’s “four walls” and “front door” have expanded exponentially. The growth of home-based models, patient demand for care anywhere at any time, and payment frameworks that support behaviors outside of episodic care necessitate a wider breadth of modalities – and continued digital modernization. Learn more about innovation in healthcare and Akamai’s important role as a strategic partner.

Content may be king, but API traffic makes up most requests between a user and an application. APIs provide data and personalization critical to users' experience but don't benefit from caching in the traditional sense. Instead, accelerating APIs needs global reach and an architecture that can quickly sync read-replicas to minimize latency and failures. In this webinar, we'll cover best practices to help improve the performance and availability of APIs regardless of the backend technology stack.

Global Data Replication for Improved API Performance and Availability

The suitability of the cloud for most workloads is no longer in question. On the contrary, most organizations use multiple cloud providers to reduce risk, maximize agility, and control costs. Realizing the full benefit of a multicloud approach takes planning, however. Join Pavel Despot, Senior Product Marketing Manager, at Akamai and Mike Maney, Corporate Communications at Akamai as they discuss: 

-The latest trends in multicloud
-Security challenges of these environments
-Best practices to minimize sprawl and improve security posture

Multicloud Application Security: Trends, Considerations, and Best Practices

As war in Ukraine continues to heat up, the war elsewhere on DDoS attacks intensifies as pro-Russia hacker group Killnet targets U.S. healthcare. But this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this group carry out attacks. Tony Lauro, Akamai’s Director of Security Strategy, talks about what we’ve learned observing the Killnet group over the past 12 months, and what you can do to evaluate your need for increased defenses in the wake of these targeted attack campaigns.

What Healthcare Organizations Need to Know About #killnet

Zero Trust represents a real opportunity for business growth, for greater operational security, and for organizational alignment. But understanding where Zero Trust fits into your security strategy, and how to prioritise ZTNA, is key to setting you apart from the crowd.  

Join Akamai and Enterprise Strategy Group Analyst as we discuss baselining Zero Trust, where confusion in the market exists, and key considerations you must take during planning - from mapping out your business needs, to balancing short term and long-term goals.  

We will discuss:  

-  Why Zero Trust is so popular now 
-  Why it’s important to prioritise Zero Trust initiatives, and how to navigate planning your security strategy 
-  The key attributes to look for in your technology partner  
-  And much more!

Multicloud Application Performance: Trends, Considerations, and Best Practices

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

The Move to the Distributed Cloud

Despite increases in cyber security investment, ransomware remains a persistent threat to healthcare operations. Join Akamai for a discussion on how microsegmentation can prevent adversarial attack methodologies from deployment of the ransomware itself.  We will cover best practices from our customers, and trends we are tracking across our platform, so you can avoid making headlines for all of the wrong reasons.

Learning Objectives

During this session, you will learn:

- Why the health of your network depends on using the cyber kill chain to disrupt the ransomware attack method
- Understand the power of dataflow level visibility in stopping zero day attacks by leveraging ability to push policy updates
- How to leverage machine learning to map complex environments and drastically reduce the attack surface while labeling your data 
- How advancements in host-based segmentation are helping healthcare ensure patient safety

Join Akamai and 451 Research in a discussion about the current state of the multicloud IT infrastructure, including the latest trends and analysis, and how to identify where in the cloud you should house your workloads. The session will cover:

-How to effectively “workload shop” so that you can achieve your agility, maintenance, performance and budgeting goals.
-Criteria to consider when deciding which workloads should go on which platforms.
-How to balance costs vs. outcomes so that you can optimize your ROI.
