SIG Download: Episode 25 – The 12 Threats of Christmas – Social Engineering for Good and Evil

Smarter, faster-moving cyberthreats, tighter regulations, and rising insurer demands have put network segmentation strategy back in the spotlight, but many enterprises are struggling to keep pace. Enterprise segmentation adoption is high, at a basic level. However, maturity, in the form of microsegmentation, remains low. Why the disconnect?

Independent research commissioned by Akamai reveals a clear gap between segmentation intent and execution, a gap leaving many enterprises exposed. Many enterprises still rely on legacy north–south segmentation approaches, making them vulnerable to growing cyberattacks, including those using generative and agentic artificial intelligence (AI).

Join us as we deep dive the data, and learn how early adopters, particularly large organizations with mature security operations, are already realizing multiple advantages:
- Lower insurance premiums
- Faster claims processing
- Stronger audit readiness
- Better ransomware outcomes

Firewall for AI: The Next Gen-AI Protection is Here

As AI continues to accelerate software development, new risks are emerging faster than most security teams can respond. Developers are building faster with AI-generated code, giving rise to “Shadow AI”: unsanctioned tools, agents, and automations that operate beyond the reach of visibility and governance. Every one of these AI workflows depends on APIs, and every hidden API represents potential exposure.

In this next session of Akamai’s “APIs in the Age of AI” series, experts from Akamai and Snyk unpack how to bring security back into focus. You’ll learn how AI is changing the way applications are built, why visibility into API schemas is the foundation of control, and how organizations can close the gap between AI-driven development and traditional AppSec.

What you’ll learn:

•How “Shadow AI” emerges across enterprises—and why APIs are at the center of it
•The risks of AI-generated code and agent-to-agent communication
•How visibility and schema discovery can eliminate blind spots in your API landscape
•Practical steps to integrate continuous API testing and runtime protection
•How Akamai and Snyk’s joint approach helps secure both the APIs and the AI systems they power
 
Join us to explore how to go from Shadow AI to Secure APIs—and how to safely accelerate innovation in an AI-powered world.

APIs in the Age of AI: Why Securing APIs Means Securing AI

Companies are spending billions in AI, building apps like customer service chatbots and decision tools to help customers select the best products. And there is much riding on these apps – organizations expect these big investments to create revenue, streamline operations, and reduce costs. Unfortunately, along with the new opportunities come new threats.

AI-driven applications are non-deterministic, giving different results every time even when given the same input. And because of this, bad actors can manipulate and attack these apps in unique ways. These attacks often go unseen and undetected, so you could suffer significant damage before you realize what happened. In this talk, we’ll show you how you can protect yourself from these new dangers.

Find out: 
- The most misunderstood risks of AI apps
- The most common attacks and how they hurt companies’ top and bottom lines
- How security teams and business leaders can partner successfully to get the most ROI from AI apps
- Questions to ask when evaluating AI Security solutions

Securing AI‑Driven Apps: Stopping Attacks Before They Stop You

In this episode of If Your APIs Could Talk, we’ll dive into a new integration that brings together Akamai’s enterprise-grade API discovery with Snyk’s developer-focused DAST engine. One of the biggest blockers to effective API security testing is the lack of accurate, up-to-date API specifications, especially in large, distributed environments. That’s where this integration comes in.
 
You’ll learn how joint customers can now automatically feed APIs discovered by Akamai from traffic, code, and infrastructure into Snyk for rapid testing and remediation, all without manual schema uploads. We’ll show how this streamlines workflows, increases coverage, and helps both security and development teams reduce risk earlier in the lifecycle.
 
Whether you’re trying to shift API security left, boost test automation, or get more value from your existing tools, this session will walk you through how Akamai and Snyk are solving application security challenges together.
