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.

A compliance assessment is one of the most time-consuming tasks security teams are charged with across all industries. Gaining visibility into the network, accurately scoping the environment subject to compliance and protecting it against lateral movement of breaches - are all critical to the success of an audit and are hard to achieve using traditional network segmentation techniques. 

Join us for a webinar to learn how Zero Trust segmentation can help your organization achieve compliance and pass an audit with confidence. 
Our expert panel will discuss:
- The challenges global organizations face with maintaining compliance in an ever-changing threat landscape
- Why traditional segmentation techniques leave blind spots in visibility and control
- How Zero Trust segmentation can improve your compliance posture and help you pass an audit 
- How Akamai is using Akamai Guardicore Segmentation internally to achieve compliance with its own products
- Real-world example of a global financial institution that has successfully implemented zero trust segmentation to achieve compliance.

Navigating the Compliance Landscape in a Zero Trust World

When Forrester Consulting contacted hundreds of enterprise cloud strategy leaders for a new study, commissioned by Akamai, the responses showed that multicloud only achieves its potential with a workload-first strategy. The study, The Great Cloud Reset, describes the key issues those tech leaders face in implementing multicloud today and in the future, including:

• 41% struggle to find a cloud services provider that can meet data sovereignty requirements
• 88% said they have six or more applications that need to run in multiple regions
• Two-thirds are prioritizing architecture that supports workloads across the core and edge
• More than two-thirds said placing workloads in the right clouds optimized performance, reliability, and resilience

The Great Cloud Reset

Is your workload strategy taking full advantage of the multicloud environment? IT buyers tell IDC that cloud computing accounts for 31% of total IT budgets, and 64% said they’re spending more than expected. 

In this audio webinar, a tech CEO, an Akamai cloud expert, and an IDC analyst explore the challenges of  spiraling cloud costs and complexities. They’ll examine how understanding workload requirements in conjunction with business objectives can help mitigate these and other obstacles.

The panelists also discuss the innovation and agility benefits that flow from modern cloud-native practices, including:

-Maximizing cloud ROI by adopting a workload strategy specifically designed for the multicloud environment 
-Leveraging a distributed cloud computing architecture to deploy resources where they’re needed most—close to data centers and end users—for increased speed to market
-Developing multicloud-native applications on a distributed cloud architecture for improved resiliency and optimized performance
-Avoiding strategies that can prevent you from using the most advantageous cloud services for your workloads

Extortion is the criminal business model that is dominating the headlines. Join Akamai and IDC to hear about the most effective ways to stop the “Cyber Triple Extortion” threat from impacting your company.  This video webinar will cover common attack groups, the techniques they use, and how to stop them based on an integrated security strategy. Our panel includes IDC’s Christopher Rodriguez; Akamai’s Advisory CISO, Steve Winterfeld; and Akamai’s Cloud Security Product Manager, Venkat Praneeth Nangineni.

Defending the Triple Threat

With nearly 50% of organizations regularly releasing vulnerable apps into production because of time restraints from the growing demand of faster turnaround, security is often not being integrated into the application development lifecycle until it is too late.

Additionally, the number of vulnerabilities is continuously increasing and exploitation attempts are being seen within 24 hours of disclosure. App and API attacks against organizations are on the rise.

Join us for a two-part webinar, each episode lasting just a bite-sized 20 minutes, where we will take a closer examination of the key takeaways of our recently released State of the Internet / Security report, Slipping Through the Security Gaps: The Rise of Application and API Attacks Against Organizations.

Some key takeaways include:
• LFI attacks tripled over last year and remain top attack vector
• App and API attacks surged in manufacturing and healthcare industries due to the major increase in IoT connections
• SSTI, SSRF, and web shells are emerging attack vectors

Akamai SOTI - Healthcare App & API Attacks Rising - Part 2

The first triple extortion ransomware attack targeted healthcare. After the clinic’s network was breached and data was encrypted, patients were threatened that their personal data would be made public if they didn’t pay a demand. Today, triple extortion attacks are on the rise – with healthcare and life sciences organizations among some of the primary targets. 

Join this panel to learn about the most effective ways to stop the triple extortion threat from impacting your financial or clinical operations. 
This talk will cover impact trends, common attack groups, the techniques they use and how to stop them based on an integrated security strategy. 

The panel will be led by Akamai Industry Strategist Carley Thornell, and include Akamai’s Advisory CISO Steve Winterfeld and Chris Notaro, a well known accelerator of tech-enabled healthcare.

A Deep Dive on Malicious DNS Traffic Part 1: Results / Top Threats

Ransomware doesn't begin and end with encryption. It's part of a long attack chain, and with the right defenses in place, you can gain the opportunity to thwart the attacker at every step of the way. 

In this session, we'll explore the ransomware attack chain, and the various tools and techniques you can employ to break the chain at each step of the way. We'll also dive into a real world example of how one business was able to thwart the efforts of Darkside, the ransomware group associated with the infamous colonial pipeline attack.

Maintaining and deepening customer trust is imperative, especially in a post-pandemic world where brand loyalty is up for grabs. With the unprecedented shift to life online, retailers and specifically those in ecommerce have struggled to gain visibility into their online traffic – both legitimate and malicious. That’s why being able to quickly detect and block malicious bot activity – like credential stuffing, content scraping and inventory hoarding – not only improves customer experience during the path to purchase but also protects against online revenue loss.

Join us as we discuss:

-  Why enhancing visibility into online traffic is critical for safeguarding customer trust
-  The damaging effect of malicious bot activity on customer experience and conversions. -  The latest tools available today to combat malicious bots
- Understanding the account takeover (ATO) kill-chain to prevent fraud
- The benefits of real-time analysis into bot traffic
- Reducing the risk of being impacted by malicious bots

Attracting customers to your website is only half the battle; Keeping them there is what matters most. That’s why creating and maintaining a seamless digital experience once they’ve arrived is crucial to optimizing the customer journey and driving conversions.

Did you know that according to Akamai research, –~15% of potential user sessions are interrupted by an unwanted pop-up or browser extension, potentially luring customers away to a competitive - or even fraudulent site? This “audience hijacking” represents a real source of damage to investments made to build brand loyalty – with bottom line repercussions .

Gaining visibility into and control over how extensions interact with your website will give your retail organization an upper hand against unwanted activity impacting – and distracting – your customers.

Join us in this session as we discuss:

-  The impact of audience hijacking on the customer path to purchase
-  Other client-side threats to brand loyalty (i.e. Magecart style attacks)
