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.

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.

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.

The Evolution of DDoS Extortion

Wrapping up the first topic in this webinar series -- Digital Growth While Reducing Risk; Senior Solutions Engineer, Bob Lasser summarizes the March 17th webinar presented by Tony Lauro, Akamai’s Director of Security Technology and Strategy and the April 6th webinar presented by Akamai Solutions Engineers.

Modern web applications have become complex, heavily reliant on APIs for virtually every online interaction. This complexity brings with it the potential for new entry points for hackers and unfortunately more overhead for the business to manage and track.

Akamai’s Director of Security Technology and Strategy, Sean Flynn, takes us behind the scenes of how attackers look for new vulnerabilities and used obfuscation to prolong Log4J zero-day attacks.

In this webinar, you will also learn about:
- A new reflection/amplification distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) vector with a record-breaking potential amplification ratio of 4,294,967,296:1
- Why do attackers focus more on APIs than traditional applications
- What companies can do to stay ahead of future threats

The Application Attack Threat Landscape - After Log4J

How Criminals Are Playing The Games Industry And What You Can Do About It

This presentation will examine credential stuffing attacks targeting media companies. Based on observations from billions of cyberattacks globally, the presentation will include data and analysis of attacks directed toward the media industry between 2018 and 2019, the countries those attacks originate from where they're directed, and how organizations can best combat and mitigate the attacks. The presentation will also highlight year-over-year attack traffic trends, which last year showed that media services were among the most popular targets, and explain why the services are so attractive to so-called "bad actors."

Data Doesn't Lie - Media Industry Full of Credential Stuffing Attacks

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
