Ep. 10 – Workflow Automation Deep Dive

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.

The Cloud Spend Conundrum: Gain Control of Ballooning Cloud Costs

In this "If Your APIs Could Talk" episode, we'll explore the Akamai API Security Native Connector feature. This new integration, built directly into our API Security solution, enables companies to send a copy of their Akamai Connected Cloud traffic to our API Security solution for analysis with just a few clicks. Enabling this integration provides complete visibility into your APIs across environments managed by Akamai, allowing for the detection of vulnerabilities and the ability to rapidly act on runtime incidents. The session will include a demonstration of the connector's seamless deployment, a technical explanation of how it works, and a spotlight on its operational benefits.

Ep. 9 - Akamai API Security Native Connector Deep Dive

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.

- Stas Neyman, Director, Product Marketing, Akamai

API Security and Compliance: Requirements for Data Protection

In this episode of “If Your APIs Could Talk”, we will uncover intricate strategies used by cyber attackers through a real-life API breach, focusing on the vulnerabilities that were exploited to manipulate a major retailer's loyalty program. Discover the significant impact of these attacks and the measures you can take to reinforce defenses and avoid similar intrusions. This episode will help you learn more about the constantly changing landscape of API security and ways to safeguard your organization against advanced API threats.

Ep. 8 - Anatomy of an API Attack: Insights from a Real-Life Breach

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.

3 Lessons in Cloud Management That Saved $100M

If you've been wanting to double down on your API security strategy, now is the perfect time. Learn how you can locate legacy and undocumented APIs, monitor traffic to eliminate vulnerabilities, and prevent attacks in real-time. We'll show you how to integrate robust security tests, uncover data policy violations, and build security into your API development process.

With Akamai API Security's new flexible deployment options, extended intelligence across API traffic locations, and expanded suite of integrations as part of our acquisition of Noname security, you can protect your API environment across any platform.

Don't miss this chance to enhance your API security and take advantage of Akamai's new, advanced API protections for your organization.

Ep. 7 - Doubling Down on API Security

APIs are too often rushed into production without proper testing. This creates conflict between the economic demand for new business services and the security requirements to protect these new services. Plus, developers and DevOps teams are the ones who often perform API security testing since it is very technical and has a steep learning curve. 

Join this webinar to learn how testing your APIs doesn’t have to be a roadblock to your organization. With the right mindset and tools, you can reduce the cost of fixing security vulnerabilities, continue to deliver new functionality at breakneck speeds, and improve the security posture of your APIs.
