Defending Against Ransomware and Other Modern-Day Threats

According to the recently released Akamai Web Application and API Threat Report, attacks are growing even more than expected for the first half of 2022 with over 9 billion attempted already this year, up over 300% from the same time a year ago. Analyzing the attacks shows that they can be classified into three categories; namely ongoing and consistent and persistent attack campaigns, short burst attack campaigns, and big-bang attack campaigns where an organization may see a 30x increase in traffic. The report also shows that protection against such pervasive threats as local file inclusion, SQLi, and XSS is mandatory in order to ensure ransomware gangs can’t gain a foothold within your applications or API’s. In this webinar, we’ll hear from Akamai Solutions engineers in a discussion on: • How Akamai’s web application and API protection kept customers safe from this uptick in focused attacks • Recently named the leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for the sixth consecutive year, Akamai’s self-tuning protection is the most effective, industry-leading solution that automatically adapts as the threat landscape continuously evolves.
