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

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

It’s no shock that organizations understand the inherent value of microsegmentation. Despite only 36% of organizations using microsegmentation today, 91% anticipate using microsegmentation in the next two years. This gap is in part due to the use of the wrong tools, but also confusion as to where to start with a microsegmentation project. While many businesses plan on using microsegmentation to support their Zero Trust goals, the breadth of these projects can lead to unforeseen challenges.

So while it is important to align to longer term Zero Trust plans, identifying critical business needs and mapping these to more specific microsegmentation use cases can help generate short term success and create momentum towards expansion.

Join Akamai and Enterprise Strategy Group Analysts as we discuss the state of microsegmentation and explore real-world use cases key customer examples to help inform your organization’s microsegmentation strategy.

We will discuss:

- Key microsegmentation use cases, and what you can learn from these real life examples
- Microsegmentation learnings you can apply to your business
- Planning your long-term security strategy
