On-demand Webinar: Bringing Zero Trust to the Top of the Agenda

Recorded August 27, 2019

Presented by:
Patrick Sullivan, Sr. Director of Global Security Strategy, Akamai Technologies

Summary:
Not that long ago, many infosec leaders were asking, "What is zero trust and why should I care?" Today, it's more often, "How do I get my business owners to properly support and resource our transition to a zero trust architecture/posture?"

Media production, marketing and delivery is a complex journey that requires countless teams, partners and individuals to access resources inside the network. Prevailing perimeter-based solutions are complex, costly and most significantly, put the intellectual property of the company at enormous risk.

Akamai's Patrick Sullivan has been a security engineer, architect and strategist for more than 12 years working with media companies to implement Zero Trust solutions.

Watch this OnDemand webinar where Sullivan shares hard won insights for media companies on:

• Key ways that Zero Trust can simplify infosec implementation
• Advice on how to assess and audit the security hygiene of key partners
• And tips on how to communicate security risk, and the rewards of Zero Trust, to business owners

The second part will look at the mitigation aspect of posture.

Webinar: SOTI/Security: Credential Stuffing: Attacks and Economies

Thursday, May 30 | 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT

Speakers:
Patrick Sullivan, Security Technology and Strategy, Sr. Director, Akamai Technologies
Shane Keats, Director of Global Industry Marketing, Akamai Technologies

Summary:
January 2019 saw the public release of a massive collection of private credentials — more than 25 billion email address and password combinations. Though much of the user information was from older data breaches, the audacious data dump reflects the reality that the theft, abuse, and sale of username/password combinations is a thriving criminal business.

Media organizations, gaming companies, and the entertainment industry are among the biggest targets of credential stuffing attacks. The people behind these attacks realize the value of an account, whether it’s to a streaming site, a game, or someone’s social media account. And they’re willing to do whatever it takes to steal them.

During this webinar, we’ll share the recent research that digs into this trend, which has significant impacts for gaming, video, and entertainment companies. You’ll learn:

• Why cheap tools and free tutorials lower the bar of entry for would-be criminals
• How malicious actors turn data breaches into substantial profits on darknet markets
• What businesses can do to detect and prevent credential stuffing attacks
