Next generation cloud security – A deeper dive into application and API security

In our previous session, we discussed how Akamai’s App and API protector streamlines the protection of your web applications and API in a dynamic and automated fashion. In this workshop, we will take a closer look at how to gain visibility into which parts of your application you can protect, and how these controls are implemented. Join us for a hands-on look at a streamlined approach toward integration and configuration workflows. We’ll also look at the power of Akamai’s security analytics and dashboards to help you investigate, mitigate and triage attacks. We’ll walk you through how to: • Discover and gain true visibility of API endpoints, to reduce your API attack surface • Leverage Akamai’s automated self-tuning capabilities, or configure advanced controls for greater flexibility • Manage security controls with a simple and intuitive GUI, or automate the process with Akamai’s Terraform provider, APIs, or the Akamai CLI • Detect and mitigate malicious activity or unwanted bot traffic in real time
