1.3 Tbps: Mitigating a Record-Setting DDoS attack

James Tin, Principal Security Specialist, ANZ

Recently, memcached reflection attacks have taken the DDoS scene by storm, affecting all sizes and types of organisations and industries. In fact, the latest extortion attempts use memcached payloads to deliver the message.

The Dark Side of Web APIs

Fernando Serto, Head of Security Technology and Strategy, APAC

Many websites, most cloud-based apps, and all native, mobile, and single-page apps are powered by API calls. And just like web servers, API endpoints are at risk of attack from hackers and bots. Their code can even be a conduit for Distributed Denial of Service attacks or attacks against authentication methods. Find out what you need to consider when developing APIs and how Akamai provides solutions to secure entire API portfolios.

Understanding Your Credential Stuffing Attack Surface

Johnny Yeo, Enterprise Security Architect, ANZ

Websites give your business an unprecedented — and invaluable — level of contact with your customers. However, they also place sensitive data where it can be easily accessed by those with malicious intent, through the use of automated tools called bots. One of the most harmful and costly activities these malicious bots engage in is credential stuffing, which can affect any organisation with a login page on its website. Find out more about the growing credential stuffing problem and how to combat it.

Why You Need to Implement a Zero Trust Security Model Today

Iain Scott, Enterprise Security Specialist, ANZ

The “trust but verify” security model is no longer effective as new business models and processes move users, devices, applications and data beyond the traditional enterprise perimeter. The surge in new attack surfaces demands a new approach to security in the form of a zero trust model. Learn the four steps to start a zero trust security journey and immediately improve defenses.
