Can you protect your applications from nefarious actors during high-traffic seasons?
 
If you’re worried about this, you might need Fastly’s help to stay protected.

Application DDoS attacks hurt your bottom line during periods of high traffic as they impact performance, availability, and artificially inflate operational costs, but stopping them is no simple feat. To surgically separate the attack traffic without impacting legitimate customers, an adaptive and highly accurate tool like Fastly DDoS Protection is needed.

Fastly DDoS Protection is a new adaptive solution that automatically mitigates disruptive, distributed application DDoS attacks with a single click. It ensures your sites remain scalable, stable, and reliable, even under pressure.

Learn more by joining Liam Mayron, Ph.D., CISSP and Fastly Staff Product Manager, as he explores Fastly DDoS Protection and its benefits for your organization. 

In this webinar, he’ll cover:
- DDoS attacks: Industry insights and patterns
- Unveiling the Fastly solution: Our new DDoS Protection

Platform for Platforms: Developing Modern Applications at the Edge

Whether fierce competition, subscriber fatigue, discoverability, or something else, the current online video market conditions make it imperative that you deliver the best possible viewer experiences at all times.

Join us for an insightful webinar that covers the essential steps to gaining greater control over your media business. Listen in as two of our industry experts discuss the steps involved to take your online video business to the next level and how a modern CDN can improve the streaming experience of your viewers, minimize churn and even boost adoption.

Sharing from their experience, they will further discuss requirements for great user experiences, using multiple CDNs, and managing egress costs.

Topics covered:
-The pitfalls of all-in-one video platforms
-Components of a professional video workflow
-What a modern CDN is, and how it can set your business apart
-Security considerations for streaming services

How a modern CDN can scale your growing media business

Performance, for websites and apps, is all about experience. Certainly, this is true of the user experience, in terms of speed but also security. Performance is also a function of the developer experience. DevOps teams need the tools to be able to build quickly and iterate smoothly, especially for organizations where more and more teams are becoming stakeholders in DevOps processes. This discussion will examine how the edge can influence performance, and how democratizing the developer experience can set up the edge for success.

Crafting the Edge for Performance: A Matter of Speed, Reliability and DevOps

The breadth of security tools, each with the best intentions, can leave practitioners struggling to adjust protections, apply updates, and triage alerts. For some organizations, having a third party manage their security products can be a winning proposition. Expertly managed security services can provide consistent updates, comprehensive coverage, advanced analysis, and around-clock, fully-staffed coverage as a trusted extension of in-house security teams.

Organizations struggle to staff security in-house, leading to limited readiness and delayed response. For organizations looking to manage DDoS mitigation and Web Application Protection more efficiently there are managed services that can help.

In this webinar, we have a panel discussion with Fastly Vice President of Customer Security, Gino Lang, Senior Engineering Manager at Duolingo, Matt Brandman, and analyst Ed Amoroso discuss the current security landscape and how managed services can help fill important gaps.

The surge in sophisticated bot automated fraud attacks has materially affected technology organizations, who lose 5% of annual gross revenue on average to fraud1. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Fastly have partnered together to protect customers from fraud at the network edge with reCAPTCHA Enterprise.

During this 30 minute webinar, attendees will learn:
- What the current bot and fraud market looks like today, and how the impact of fraudulent activity impacts businesses
- How reCAPTCHA Enterprise provides exceptional automated bot defense
- How technologies deployed at the network edge can retain enterprise value without adding friction

Security at the Edge: Fastly & reCAPTCHA Enterprise Integration

Too many developers are still living with the dark ages of black-box content delivery networks (CDNs) that don’t provide the real-time observability, baked-in security, and programmatic control needed to deliver the dynamic experiences today’s users demand.

The modern CDN is designed with the goal of empowering developers. Developer empowerment is essential for creating innovative digital experiences that help increase customer lifetime value, improve conversion rates, and drive higher average order value and loyalty. High-engineering velocity is critical to achieving these goals. 

Businesses are better equipped to succeed when they give developers the tools they need to innovate and maintain secure and competitive sites and applications. After this webinar, you’ll understand why it’s time to rethink your CDN and what to look for in a new one.

During this 30 minute webinar, Fastly experts will explore:
    • The evolution and current state of CDNs.
    • The benefits of the modern CDN, including real world applications.
    • How to select a modern CDN provider and unique differentiators.

What is a modern CDN and why is it important?

Federated social media networks are quickly becoming a popular alternative to mainstream social media platforms. Collectives like the Fediverse are helping over 4 million users interact with each other without relying on centralized platforms. To protect itself from attacks like distributed denial of services (DDOS), federated sites like Mastodon require protection that works with their architecture. 

In this webinar, experts from Mastodon and Fastly’s cybersecurity operations center (CSOC) will share lessons learned from mitigating DDOS attacks on Mastodon Social and techniques for protecting federated architectures.

The challenges that security teams face with CAPTCHAs are often ignored, but it needs to be addressed. Whether it’s privacy concerns of user data being shared with CAPTCHA providers, attackers hiring humans to solve CAPTCHAs, or friction and frustration with the user experience, Fastly believes that there has to be a better way.

The future of anti-fraud is moving towards ecosystems of attestation providers. Organizations can ensure they are prepared with Private Access Tokens – where human vs. bot decision is based on trusted relationships, not risk calculations, browser properties, or inferred user behavior. 

During this webinar, Fastly will explore:
- The importance of talking about CAPTCHAs and understanding its pain points
- New approaches for addressing fraudulent activity
- Why Private Access Tokens will future-proof organizations
