It’s no surprise that API adoption is growing rapidly. The reality is that new business innovation and services are powered by APIs. But the rush to innovate is leaving security teams struggling to understand the very real security risks that APIs pose. Today, APIs carry vast amounts of data and are increasingly targets in data breaches. Featuring Forrester’s Principal Analyst Sandy Carielli, this talk will explain the very real risks of APIs and how organizations can improve their security posture. 

Is this webinar you will:
- Learn the latest API Security trends from Forrester
- Understand common API security concerns
- See the importance of API Discovery
- Understand how to use behavioral analytics for APIs

Delighting gamers is a real challenge for the gaming industry. Traditionally, insights into the gamer experience and the gamer journey are generated after the fact. These insights are restricted to “what happened” rather than “what is happening right now”. 

Leveraging operational data can make a big difference to how game studios and developers can ensure they are delighting their gaming communities, understanding their experiences, and acting on those insights in real time, when it matters the most. 

In this talk, we will discuss:
• Operational data and how it can be used to delight gamers
• The Macrometa GDN and how it works with operational data
• How game developers can work with Akamai and Macrometa

Using Operational Data to Delight Gamers

Achieving Complete Observability for SaaS Applications

Is your workload strategy taking full advantage of the multicloud environment? IT buyers tell IDC that cloud computing accounts for 31% of total IT budgets, and 64% said they’re spending more than expected.

In this audio webinar, a tech CEO, an Akamai cloud expert, and an IDC analyst explore the challenges of spiraling cloud costs and complexities. They’ll examine how understanding workload requirements in conjunction with business objectives can help mitigate these and other obstacles.

The panelists also discuss the innovation and agility benefits that flow from modern cloud-native practices, including:

-Maximizing cloud ROI by adopting a workload strategy specifically designed for the multicloud environment
-Leveraging a distributed cloud computing architecture to deploy resources where they’re needed most—close to data centers and end users—for increased speed to market
-Developing multicloud-native applications on a distributed cloud architecture for improved resiliency and optimized performance
-Avoiding strategies that can prevent you from using the most advantageous cloud services for your workloads

Account abuse and account takeover attacks are a major problem for companies across multiple industries. 

In 2022, it was estimated that account abuse caused companies over 20 billion dollars. Attackers use advanced tools and techniques that can make identifying them incredibly difficult. 

Learn how AI can identify real users and attackers by collecting data about user interacting with your application. You might just find that sometimes the key to identifying attackers is by accurately knowing your users in a way only AI can.

Using AI to Prevent Accounts Abuse

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is one of the oldest forms of cyberattacks. In recent years, driven by political hacktivism and state-sponsored cyber-terrorism, there has been a significant resurgence in the record-setting scale, size, duration, and the sophistication of DDoS attacks. 

Akamai’s Prolexic has been the most trusted and effective DDoS mitigation and protection platform for businesses and institutions. Join us to learn how we keep Prolexic always a step ahead of the rapidly evolving threat landscape.

DDoS Respawn

As organizations grow and continue to adopt more web applications to improve business operations, this attack surface continues to expand. 2022 was a record year when it comes to web applications and API attacks. 

With an exponential increase in API traffic, is estimated that by 2024, API abuses and related data breaches will nearly double. So, understanding the different trends and new attack vectors is becoming crucial to organizations as they look to secure business critical applications.

 Learn more about how these attacks are affecting every industry and what are the recommendations to secure your web applications and APIs.
