Data is being generated at unprecedented rates and from diverse sources, making effective backup solutions critical to maintaining data integrity and availability. The systems producing all that data are substantially different from the ones that traditional backup and recovery solutions were designed to protect. The high volume of data is coming from the cloud and from the edge, necessitating new architectures for protecting, backing up, and recovering the data.

Attend this webinar to learn about the new generation of backup solutions designed with cloud, cloud-native, and edge cases in mind.

From Edge to Cloud: How Backup Solutions are Evolving

We have all heard this story before - a critical vulnerability is discovered in a VPN server. It's exploited in the wild. Administrators rush to patch. Panic spreads across Twitter. 

Attackers have long sought to exploit VPN servers - they are accessible from the internet, expose a rich attack surface, and often lack in security and monitoring. Historically, VPNs were primarily abused to achieve a single objective: gaining entry into internal victim networks. While this is evidently very valuable, control over a VPN server shouldn't solely be seen as a gateway to the network, and can certainly be abused in various other ways.

In this talk, we will explore VPN post-exploitation - a new approach that consists of different techniques attackers can employ on the compromised VPN server to further progress their intrusion. To demonstrate this concept, we will inspect two of the most common VPN servers on the market - Ivanti Connect Secure and Fortigate, and show how an attacker with control over them can collect user credentials, move laterally, and maintain persistent access to the network.

We will conclude by detailing best practices and principles that should be followed by security teams when using VPN servers to reduce the risk from post-exploitation techniques.

During the session, you will:
- Explore critical vulnerabilities and real-world exploits on popular VPN platforms.
- Discover post-exploitation tactics for credential collection, lateral movement, and persistent access.
- Learn best practices to enhance VPN security and reduce advanced threat risks.

Tunnel Vision: Exploring VPN Post-Exploitation Techniques

In this session, we'll discuss the latest PCI DSS 4.0 requirements for script protection so brands can better identify, monitor and manage suspicious and malicious script behavior.

Akamai Client Side Protection & Compliance

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.

As the use of payment card data has evolved and become more widespread, the methods and techniques that attackers use to access, harvest, and sell that data have evolved in concert. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS, has adapted in turn, forcing companies to update their policies and their software. The latest standards, PCI DSS 4.0 and 4.0.1, include several new security requirements and updated guidance to address current threats and technologies. In this on-demand video webinar, sponsored by Akamai, you’ll learn the importance of:

Streamlining workflows for security and compliance teams
Reducing the auditing burden with purpose-built and dedicated PCI capabilities
Receiving and logging actionable PCI alerts for events related to compliance
Consolidating vendors to meet PCI requirements with Akamai’s comprehensive portfolio of security solutions.

Accelerate Your Compliance with the Latest PCI DSS Standards

APIs power the modern world. They are the fundamental building blocks of every application, enabling seamless communication and data sharing across the digital landscape.
