SIG Download: Episode 13 - API Under Attack: Exposing the Hidden Threats Lurking in Your APIs

According to IDC, worldwide spending on cloud computing is projected to surpass $1.35 trillion by 2027. As these costs continue to rise, corporate CIOs and CFOs are collaborating to assess the use of cloud technologies in their business growth strategies. As Akamai discovered through Project Cirrus, it is possible to realize savings by undertaking a comprehensive cloud services reassessment and applying core principles to optimize cloud services. Join us for an upcoming webinar where we will discuss how Akamai leveraged distributed cloud computing to:

• Lower cloud costs by 40% in one year
• Improve performance by over 40% faster queries
• Facilitate transition from cloud-friendly to cloud-native

During the discussion, Akamai leaders will help attendees better understand their cloud utilization and start to gain control over cloud spending, while improving performance and agility.

SIG Download: Episode 12 - Spooked by Cyber Attacks? Strategies for Surviving the Digital Dark

Der Vortrag behandelt die Sicherung digitaler Vermögenswerte durch einen KI-gestützten Ansatz zum API-Schutz. Er unterstreicht die Bedeutung von APIs als zentrale Angriffspunkte, da sie stark wachsen, ständig verändert werden und anfällig für Missbrauch sind. 
Über 76 % der Unternehmen berichteten im letzten Jahr von API-bezogenen Sicherheitsvorfällen. Traditionelle Sicherheitsansätze wie Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) sind oft unzureichend, da sie manuelle, kontextlose und unvollständige Maßnahmen umfassen.
 
Akamai setzt auf einen fortschrittlichen Ansatz, der maschinelles Lernen nutzt, um API-Schwachstellen zu identifizieren, Konfigurationsprobleme zu beheben und Angriffe zu blockieren. Diese Lösung basiert auf der Integration von Noname Security, welche die API-Sicherheit in Bereichen wie Laufzeitschutz, API-Inventarisierung, Governance und automatisierten Reaktionen verbessert.
 
Akamais API-Sicherheitslösungen decken Anwendungsfälle ab, die von der Entdeckung und Überwachung aller APIs bis hin zur Blockierung komplexer Angriffe reichen, einschließlich der Erkennung von Anomalien und Zero-Day-Angriffen. Zudem wird die Compliance durch API-Governance erleichtert, was besonders in regulierten Branchen wichtig ist.

API-Sicherheitsverletzungen haben in der Vergangenheit schwerwiegende Folgen gehabt, wie Beispiele aus der Präsentation zeigen, bei denen Millionen von Nutzerdaten durch ungesicherte APIs offengelegt wurden. Akamai bietet verschiedene Implementierungsmodelle für seine Lösungen, um Unternehmen zu unterstützen, APIs effektiv zu schützen und deren Sicherheit zu gewährleisten.

From Lightning Fast to Instant: Five Modern Ways to Beat Latency

Have you checked your cloud spend lately? Chances are, it’s higher than you expected - or want or even need. For too many, the promise of cloud agility and flexibility has come at an unexpectedly high price. Tune into this webinar to hear Akamai’s CIO Kate Prouty share with IDC’s Adam Reeves the critical lessons Akamai learned on their Cloud journey.  You’ll hear how with the right tools, executive level support, diligence, and a modern platform as a service approach, you can bring your cloud costs and sprawl under control.

Three Lessons in Cloud Management That Saved $100M

Demonstrating compliance with data protection regulations has traditionally required significant effort and resources to mitigate mostly familiar risks. However, the digital landscape is evolving rapidly, introducing threats that many enterprise compliance programs don't fully address. Even regulatory bodies themselves can't always keep pace and provide explicit guidelines covering every aspect necessary to prevent breaches. 

This is the case with API protection. Every time a customer, partner, or vendor engages with your business digitally, there’s an API behind the scenes facilitating a rapid exchange of information that often includes sensitive data. Understanding and mitigating API threats is essential as APIs become increasingly integral to our technological infrastructure. This webinar will equip you with an understanding of API risks, effective strategies to safeguard your systems, and the direct implications of APIs on your compliance initiatives. 

This webinar is ideal for IT professionals, security analysts, compliance officers, and anyone involved in API development and management who is looking to enhance their understanding of API security and compliance.

Could your organisation truly survive a data breach and emerge unscathed? 

If the answer is no, or maybe, your cyber security strategy needs a rethink. The importance of preventing and protecting your organisation against a cyber attack is now a fundamental ‘must’, not simply an option. If your organisation was attacked, how would the attacker be detected and moreover, what response plan is currently in place and how could impacts be minimised?

In this fireside discussion, ESG Analyst John Grady is joined by Richard Meeus, Akamai’s EMEA Director of Security Technology and Strategy to explore how to bullet-proof your data for 2023. 

Join them to discuss: 
-  Why active prevention is now a security 'must-have' instead of a 'nice-to-have'
-  The risk organisations will face in 2023
-  How to minimise the impact of a breach
-  The state of ransomware in 2023 
-  And much more!
