Securing Your Cloud with Hydrolix

Nel business digitale di oggi, interconnesso ed esposto on line, non c’è applicazione o collegamento tra applicazione che non faccia uso di API. Ogni volta che un cliente, un partner o un fornitore si relaziona digitalmente con un’azienda, spesso dietro le quinte opera un’API che si occupa di facilitare lo scambio di informazioni. Informazioni che spesso comprendono dati sensibili. In questo contesto crescono gli attacchi che sfruttano le API come elemento per penetrare le difese aziendali.
- Quali sono le principali vulnerabilità sfruttate oggi dagli attaccanti?
- Come costruire un percorso in 4 fasi per tutelare al meglio gli ambienti che ne fanno uso?

Proteggere le interfacce API per un business più sicuro

The cloud infrastructure of today cannot meet the requirements of tomorrow's applications.

New applications using AI and mixed reality require new approaches to provide more responsive applications and to protect privacy. Existing applications are becoming more personalised and customised. Customer experience needs to be seamless and reactive in the moments that matter.

Join us as we discuss how we're building a globally distributed cloud to meet the needs of your customers, partners, and your organisation.

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.
