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. However, this very reliance on APIs makes them increasingly the target of attacks, with cybercriminals actively seeking to exploit vulnerabilities, gain unauthorized access, and extract sensitive data.
Join us to discuss why API security is not just an add-on but a critical component for businesses looking to innovate and scale. This webinar will highlight the growing threats to APIs and why securing them is vital for the future of any organization. We'll also examine how our newly acquired API Security solution enhances our Application Security portfolio to protect your business from evolving threats and support your growth ambitions.

Future-Proofing your Business: Why API Security is Essential for Growth and Innovation

Deliver Low Latency Applications and Reduce Costs

Last year, nearly one-third of web attacks targeted APIs. Join us for a live webinar as we reveal the findings from our latest State of the Internet (SOTI) report, 'Lurking in the Shadows: Attack Trends Shine Light on API Threats', and learn:

•        The latest API attack techniques
•        Regional trends
•        Real-world lessons
•        Advice around security implementations and active threats

State of the Internet: API Security

In an era where digital threats are rapidly evolving, the European Union has responded with two pivotal regulations: the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). These frameworks are not merely updates; they are comprehensive overhauls designed to secure the EU's digital infrastructure across all critical sectors and financial entities. NIS2 extends its reach to ensure uniform cybersecurity across the EU, while DORA establishes rigorous resilience requirements for the financial sector, affecting every organization that conducts financial operations in Europe.

This session will explore the sweeping impacts of these regulations and illustrate how compliance is not just a legal obligation but a crucial strategic advantage. The Akamai Guardicore Platform plays a vital role here, providing the sophisticated tools needed to meet these regulations—through advanced segmentation, enhanced monitoring, and robust defense mechanisms against cyber threats.

During the session, you will:
- Understand the extensive impact and delve into how NIS2 and DORA reshape the cybersecurity landscape for a wide range of organizations.
- Learn how Akamai Guardicore Platform specifically aids in adhering to these critical regulations.
- Explore actionable strategies to overcome the complexities of compliance.

This webinar is designed to not only inform but also equip you with the necessary tools to navigate this new regulatory environment successfully.

How to Prepare for the Wide-Ranging Effects of NIS2 & DORA

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.

Ep. 6 - Monitor Right & Shift Left: Reshaping API security with Advanced Testing

While threat actors constantly adapt and evolve their techniques, the tactics they employ remain limited and unchanging. A CISO with an understanding of modern attack trends can hone their focus on enduring tactics, rather than ever-changing techniques, to reverse the adversarial advantage and enable their business to better anticipate and defend against threat actors. 
Join this session to: 
• Examine modern attack trends and real-world individual attacks 
• Understand the motives of threat actors to craft effective security protocols and playbooks 
• Learn how to increase visibility to make better informed decisions
