Discover the questions some vendors don’t want you to ask
In September 2017, Akamai commissioned Forrester Consulting to examine how companies approach digital experience and digital security. A survey of over 350 IT executives around the world found that:
Customer trust is at an all-time low and it’s hurting growth
Executives are aware that customer trust is becoming critical to success
Companies struggle to balance security with digital experience
Failure to deliver on security impacts brand reputation, customer trust, and revenues
This report, Drop A Pin At The Intersection Of Digital Experience And Security, shares insights into these findings and what sets top digital businesses apart.
APIs are increasingly powering mobile applications, websites, single-page applications, and data sharing. APIs connect across business and technology boundaries—meaning every enterprise has good reason to be developing, delivering, and consuming APIs.

Options to ensure 100% availability How to design a security stack for your APIs
Cyber attackers are targeting the application programming interfaces (APIs) used by businesses to share data with customers. Consumer mobile adoption, electronic goods and services, and high volumes of data have led businesses to use APIs for data exchange. Unfortunately, attackers can also use APIs to access or deny service to valuable data and systems.
This white paper explores strategies for protecting APIs. You’ll learn about APIs, how and why these endpoints are targets for web application attacks, security models, and how Akamai can help.
Which bot management solution is right for you?
Bots are responsible for 30% to 70% of website traffic. They range from good to middling to bad, and from simple to sophisticated. Many bot management vendors say they can solve your bot problem. But can they really?
This e-book provides guidance on how to evaluate bot management solutions and understand what the differences mean for you and your customers. We cover the top 10 things to consider when selecting a bot management solution, from accuracy and API protection to flexibility and resilience over time.
What to expect and how to prepare your best defense
DDoS attackers launch hundreds of DDoS attacks every day. When a DDoS attack strikes an organization, panic is common. No one knows why systems and applications are failing, who to call, or what questions to ask. Meanwhile, senior leaders want answers. Planning ahead and being prepared is your best defense against DDoS attacks.
This white paper explores best practices for building and maintaining a DDoS protection plan. You’ll learn what to expect from a DDoS attack, how to prepare, what to put in a DDoS runbook, and how to test your plan.
2017 was a momentous year in security, even though the DDoS landscape appeared to plateau. Maybe it was because Mirai hit so hard at the end of 2016 and the owners of other botnets were retooling to catch up. Maybe it was because news of large data breaches captured so many headlines, drawing the attention of both criminals and the public. Or maybe it is simply due to the cyclical nature of attack popularity that we have seen in the past. No matter the cause, our prediction is that the trend won’t continue in 2018, and it is not time to be complacent. The Mirai botnet is far from played out, as botnet creators are continuing to modify the source code for their individual needs and, with more connected platforms devices than ever, the Internet will continue to offer fertile ground for largescale attacks.
We are pleased to present the Cost of Web Application and Denial of Service Attacks, sponsored by Akamai Technologies. The purpose of this research is to understand changes in the cost and consequences of web application and denial of service attacks since the study was first conducted in 2015. For this study, Ponemon Institute surveyed 621 individuals in IT operations, IT security, IT compliance or data center administration.

Enterprise network architectures are evolving as a result of the growth of public cloud, proliferation of mobile devices, and organizational requirement to collaborate with global users. In this on-demand webinar, Gartner Research VP and Distinguished Analyst Mark Fabbi and Akamai Technologies' Enterprise Web Experience Product Manager, Greg Lord, will provide insight into
this new trend.
Replication has become a catchall phrase that while gaining in allure is also gaining in confusion – especially in the mid-tier where data is just as important as the high-end, but IT staffing and budgets are far more limited. IT people as well as vendors have a tendency to lump all data movement functions together as replication, regardless of the method or the reason.
The term “perfect storm” is used to describe when several forces come together and create a large, single event that has transformative effects. A technology perfect storm took place in the 1990s when Internet services, low-cost home computers, browsers and affordable broadband all came together and created the Internet revolution. This revolution launched an entirely new economic model that sparked new ways of doing business, changed the way we work, and allowed us to blend our personal and professional lives. At first, these new ways of working were the exception. But the transformation to an Internet-based work style is now complete, and this style has become very much the norm.
The shift to mobile and cloud computing is imperative for all company leaders because it facilitates the digitization of the business and advances new ways to enable employees and serve
customers.
