In fact, it’s been around since the earliest days of email when most users received numerous emails from African kings or other high-ranking officials who promised them great riches if they simply provided their bank account details. Things have changed a lot since then. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/phishing-security-challenge Jim Black https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/phishing-security-challenge Thu, 05 May 2022 13:00:00 UTC WAF Attacks have been increasing dramatically over the last 9 months. These attacks cut across industries, geos and customers. Growth has largely been driven by Local File Inclusion (lfi) attacks, which took the lead from SQL Injection attacks in early 2021 before just taking off in the fall. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attack-surface-workout-web-application-api-attacks Tom Emmons https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attack-surface-workout-web-application-api-attacks Wed, 04 May 2022 13:00:00 UTC Talking about secure networks is like talking about safe pools. A pool is just a body of water, and if it has enough water to swim in, then it has more than enough water to drown in. A pool is inherently unsafe. We, therefore, take care in how we use a pool: We don’t swim alone; we don’t run around the pool; we don’t dive in the shallow end; and we don’t swim less than 15 minutes after eating. (Is that 15-minute rule still a thing?) These pool-safety policies ensure that our use of the pool is as safe as possible, but they do not make the pool safe in and of itself. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-and-the-fallacy-of-secure-networks Robert Blumofe https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-and-the-fallacy-of-secure-networks Tue, 03 May 2022 13:00:00 UTC Today, technology is infused into nearly everything we do. The data behind personalized recommendations, connected devices, and wearables has changed how we engage with the world around us — whether we’re driving to a new destination, purchasing from a new retailer, or monitoring our health. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/build-the-future-on-akamai Ari Weil https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/build-the-future-on-akamai Thu, 28 Apr 2022 13:00:00 UTC It’s all too common that IT security tools and practices come at the cost of productivity. Even physical security has this trade-off. There would be no rush to arrive at the airport an hour early if it weren’t for the extensive security measures that flying entails. As a result of this trade-off, our concern often isn’t if we can increase security in our networks — rather, it’s if the increased security is worth the impact on the business. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/reaching-convergence-security-productivity Dan Petrillo https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/reaching-convergence-security-productivity Tue, 26 Apr 2022 19:01:00 UTC https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/protect-digital Christine Ferrusi Ross https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/protect-digital Tue, 26 Apr 2022 13:00:00 UTC We have big news this month.

We’re getting there. Today’s reality is that more workloads are moving to the edge to take advantage of the benefits, but many are still too resource-intensive to be feasible. For the workloads that can be moved, the results can lead to transformational digital experiences for users and developers alike. https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/making-the-edge-work-for-you Renny Shen https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/making-the-edge-work-for-you Thu, 21 Apr 2022 09:00:00 UTC Oftentimes, organizations view supply chains as an extension of their own business and require suppliers to adhere to codes of conduct, efficiency standards, and more. Today, this has expanded to environmental sustainability goals as well. Companies understand that the environmental impact of their economic activity is not limited to their direct operations. It’s integral to look beyond direct emissions and risks to the entire value chain. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/akamai-carbon-calculator-supply-chain-emissions Teresa Shirkova https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/akamai-carbon-calculator-supply-chain-emissions Fri, 15 Apr 2022 13:00:00 UTC Although we’ve made significant progress as a community in this regard, there are still instances in which the outcome of DNS spoofing attacks can go undetected. In this article, we describe a DNS spoofing attack that goes unnoticed by users. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attacks-anti-malware-dns-spoofing Asaf Nadler https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attacks-anti-malware-dns-spoofing Thu, 14 Apr 2022 13:00:00 UTC WorldMatch, a games and content provider for global markets, collaborates with some of the biggest international casinos.

Three critical vulnerabilities were found and patched in Windows RPC (Remote Procedure Call) runtime: CVE-2022-24492 and CVE-2022-24528 (discovered by Yuki Chen with Cyber KunLun) CVE-2022-26809 (discovered by BugHunter010 with Kunlun) https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/critical-remote-code-execution-vulnerabilities-windows-rpc-runtime Ben Barnea & Ophir Harpaz https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/critical-remote-code-execution-vulnerabilities-windows-rpc-runtime Wed, 13 Apr 2022 09:15:00 UTC Obviously we’re proud to be a leader. Bot management is a contact sport, where being great is a requirement if you want to stop the persistent adversarial bots. So it’s rewarding to be recognized for the work we’re doing keeping the bad bots away from our customers’ digital businesses. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/leadership-bot-management Christine Ferrusi Ross https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/leadership-bot-management Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:00:00 UTC Just three weeks have gone by since Akamai officially welcomed Linode into our fold, and I’m encouraged by the excitement that so many have expressed about the combination of our two companies since we announced the acquisition in February. In conversations with us, industry analysts use the word “transformational” to sum up the potential impact of our merger on the marketplace. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/linode-akamai-transform-how-developers-use-the-cloud Tom Leighton https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/linode-akamai-transform-how-developers-use-the-cloud Tue, 12 Apr 2022 13:00:00 UTC Protecting sensitive information is a recurring and widely known concern in the security community. As researchers, we know all too well how information can be used maliciously (I mean, come on … it’s our job). Considering the size of the threat vector that is LFI, it’s something that developers and security professionals alike need to be aware of. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/markdown-menace Adhyayan Panwar https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/markdown-menace Tue, 12 Apr 2022 13:00:00 UTC Conti is a notorious ransomware group that targets high-revenue organizations.

Imagine the insights you would gain into your security posture if you could safely and easily simulate the behavior of malicious actors before they hit your defenses. That’s what the Infection Monkey does. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/infection-monkey-new-log4shell-simulation The Infection Monkey team https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/infection-monkey-new-log4shell-simulation Mon, 14 Feb 2022 14:00:00 UTC Locking tokens to the client IP address might seem like a good way to prevent content theft, such as sharing of authenticated URLs that include tokens. It might even appear to work in small-scale test environments. However, the internet has evolved to a point where it’s quite common for clients to use multiple source IP addresses. This is especially true when a token is created by a server on one hostname (such as a CMS) but then validated by a server on another hostname, such as an Akamai edge server, when serving content. https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/why-you-shouldn-t-tie-ip-addresses-to-tokens Alex Balford & Erik Nygren https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/why-you-shouldn-t-tie-ip-addresses-to-tokens Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:00:00 UTC Super Bowl LVI is almost here, and with that comes one of my favorite pastimes: watching the commercials! And you know I’m not alone — 30% of viewers tune in to the big game primarily to see the commercials, upping the pressure on CMOs to “get it right.” But winning the hearts and minds of the more than 100 million anticipated viewers goes far beyond creating a captivating 30- or 60-second spot. In fact, the production, supporting digital assets, celebrity endorsements, talking animals, etc. just scratch the surface when it comes to delivering an exceptional brand experience. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/power-and-protect-your-brand-during-the-big-game-and-beyond Kim Salem-Jackson https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/power-and-protect-your-brand-during-the-big-game-and-beyond Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:00:00 UTC We're pleased to announce the launch of Akamai’s brand-new documentation site: techdocs.akamai.com.

Throughout 2020, scammers used the economic tension caused by COVID-19 — the promise of financial assistance, the stress of financial hardship — to target people across the globe via phishing attacks. https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/keeping-up-with-the-botnets Gerhard Giese https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/keeping-up-with-the-botnets Tue, 28 Dec 2021 14:00:06 UTC Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Apache-foundation open-source logging library Log4j. It was published on December 9, 2021, and then all hell broke loose. As Log4j is a common logging library for Java applications, it is highly widespread. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/our-journey-to-detect-log4j-vulnerable-machines Stiv Kupchik https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/our-journey-to-detect-log4j-vulnerable-machines Mon, 27 Dec 2021 19:30:00 UTC To me, Diversity & Inclusion means a new way of thinking and engaging with society. It seems to be one of the most popular phrases that every person sees on the internet every day. I have been appointed as an ambassador of D&I for Akamai’s Asia-Pacific Japan region, and have been learning the essential principles along with some of my colleagues for the past several months. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/the-everyday-impacts-of-diversity-and-inclusion-at-akamai Hisashi Yamaguchi https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/the-everyday-impacts-of-diversity-and-inclusion-at-akamai Thu, 23 Dec 2021 20:30:00 UTC I decided to pursue a career in IT after working as a support engineer for internal employees as part of my very first job. It immediately opened my eyes to something that I found as interesting as I did shocking: Lots of people don’t understand information security — and what’s more, they don’t protect their personal data. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/why-im-proud-to-protect-billions-of-people-worldwide Jessie Park https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/why-im-proud-to-protect-billions-of-people-worldwide Wed, 22 Dec 2021 10:00:51 UTC The Log4Shell vulnerability is here to stay. There is a lot of speculation about the scope and true impact of the vulnerability: While many have labeled it “severe,” information is limited on how widespread the risk is. In order to shed some light on the issue, Akamai Threat Labs is utilizing its visibility into numerous data centers worldwide to assess the actual risk Log4Shell poses to organizations. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/quantifying-log4shell-vulnerability-on-a-massive-scale Akamai Security Intelligence Group https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/quantifying-log4shell-vulnerability-on-a-massive-scale Tue, 21 Dec 2021 20:30:35 UTC With a comprehensive security stack, Akamai’s application security solutions defend your entire ecosystem from threats.

Sometimes moves are legitimate, such as when a popular site evolves from hosting their own website to moving to a cloud provider to using a CDN to handle the ever-increasing traffic. Sometimes the moves are not legitimate, such as when an attacker pretends to be an ecommerce or banking site and steals a user’s credentials upon login.

Even as the world continues to re-open to various degrees, we’re still feeling the impact from 2020’s move to an almost completely virtual world. Many large companies are shifting to a hybrid model, mixing the ability to work from home with working in the office. Some are even offering their employees the opportunity to work remotely indefinitely. There is no denying that the way we work, bank, play, and relax has been impacted by COVID-19. Shouting “pivot” may have shot into popular culture in the TV show Friends, but it’s a rallying cry that’s been revived in the 2020s by businesses, individuals, and criminals alike. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/soti-security-year-end-review Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/soti-security-year-end-review Wed, 08 Dec 2021 14:00:00 UTC Online retail traffic that Akamai delivered during Cyber Monday was up 5% globally compared to Cyber Monday 2020 and 31% compared to average Monday traffic. https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/cyber-monday-web-traffic-up-over-2020 Chris Nicholson https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/cyber-monday-web-traffic-up-over-2020 Wed, 01 Dec 2021 21:05:00 UTC Akamai was founded to give the brightest minds somewhere to grow – and by surrounding ourselves with supportive individuals and an open culture, we can all bring our best, every day.

Here’s what I don’t know: if any of the times I have been unable to log in to one of my OTT subscription services was due to my kids sharing our credentials or because of an account takeover — that kill chain that starts with harvesting stolen username/password combinations and then testing them via a credential stuffing attack. https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/fighting-video-piracy-is-strengthened-by-collaboration Shane Keats https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/fighting-video-piracy-is-strengthened-by-collaboration Thu, 18 Nov 2021 14:00:00 UTC Media giant RTL Nederland offers a weather app that gives users the ability to get a comprehensive overview of the weather in their location at the click of a button.

The Fast Flux network concept was first introduced in 2006, with the emergence of Storm Worm malware variants. The Fast Flux network is typically used to make the communication between malware and its command and control (C2) server more resistant to discovery. Akamai’s research team has analyzed sophisticated botnet infrastructure that leverages Fast Flux techniques including domains, nameservers, and IP address changes. Figure 1 shows an overview of such a network, which can also be referred to as a form of bulletproof hosting, that hosts various malicious services. These networks empower threat actors to execute attack campaigns by utilizing network capabilities to host malware binaries, proxy communication to C2 servers, phishing websites, or proxy attacks on websites across the internet. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/digging-deeper-an-in-depth-analysis-of-a-fast-flux-network Or Katz https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/digging-deeper-an-in-depth-analysis-of-a-fast-flux-network Tue, 16 Nov 2021 14:00:00 UTC In our update to Guardicore Hunt see how you can enhance your ransomware protections as well as Zero Trust. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/centra-update-zero-trust-posture-and-enhance-ransomware-protection Ravit Greitser https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/centra-update-zero-trust-posture-and-enhance-ransomware-protection Mon, 15 Nov 2021 16:47:00 UTC The increased use of smart devices, improved connectivity, and today’s hyper demanding customers are driving the need for digital transformation in the finance sector.

I’m not talking about the content itself. The streaming videos, online shopping sites, news and educational content, workplace productivity tools, and many other pieces of content we view and interact with online garner a great deal of attention. I’m instead talking about what’s involved in getting that content delivered reliably, quickly, and securely to a device. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/internet-resilience-part2-what-it-takes-to-just-work James Kretchmar https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/internet-resilience-part2-what-it-takes-to-just-work Mon, 08 Nov 2021 14:00:00 UTC Building incredible digital experiences often involves leveraging serverless edge computing, microservices-based architectures, IaaS environments, client-side functionality, and APIs. These modern development practices, while designed to produce highly personalized, fast, and always-on user experiences, also inextricably introduce new vulnerabilities and risks. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-app-and-api-protector-maximize-security-through-simplicity Charles Choe https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-app-and-api-protector-maximize-security-through-simplicity Mon, 08 Nov 2021 11:30:00 UTC With Wednesday’s sweeping cybersecurity mandates issued by the Biden administration, patching Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) are top of mind — for both federal and private-sector companies alike — to help prevent damaging intrusions. Intensifying the pressure surrounding the latest round of mandates, federal agencies are required to address high-risk vulnerabilities discovered in 2021 within two weeks. However, for the vast majority of organizations and their security teams, addressing every critical vulnerability at the software or infrastructure level quickly is not feasible. Instead, many enterprise defenders look to virtual patching via solutions like WAF policy updates and rule changes as a quick fix to help reduce immediate risk, while longer-term software updates are issued. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-stays-one-step-ahead-of-biden-cve-mandates Amol Mathur https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-stays-one-step-ahead-of-biden-cve-mandates Fri, 05 Nov 2021 16:00:00 UTC Ransomware attacks increased by over 150% in 2020.

Apache urged to deploy the fix, as it is already being actively exploited. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/how-akamai-helps-you-protect-against-0-days Assaf Vilmovsky & Maxim Zavodchik https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/how-akamai-helps-you-protect-against-0-days Thu, 07 Oct 2021 20:15:00 UTC Every day, Akamai’s Threat Research team tracks and mitigates phishing attack campaigns to help keep our customers — and their reputations — protected. Recently, they tracked an orchestrated attack campaign comprising more than 9,000 domains and subdomains, mainly targeting victims located in China. The phishing scam was abusing more than 15 high-profile and trusted brands spanning ecommerce, travel, and food & beverage industries. By using well-known brand names, the threat actors attempted to engage victims to participate in a quiz that, once completed, would result in winning an attractive prize. Akamai refers to this malicious modus operandi as a “question quiz” phishing attack campaign. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/coming-together-to-tackle-phishing-for-the-greater-good Akamai Threat Research Team https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/coming-together-to-tackle-phishing-for-the-greater-good Thu, 07 Oct 2021 13:20:00 UTC DDoS and AppSec attacks impacting the ANZ region (Australia and New Zealand) have been in the headlines of late, with several high profile companies seeing prolonged outages and leading to speculation as to whether the region is being specifically targeted? Let’s take a closer look at the types of attack vectors and malicious activity we’ve seen focused on customers down under. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attack-campaigns-ramp-up-for-organizations-down-under Tom Emmons https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attack-campaigns-ramp-up-for-organizations-down-under Thu, 07 Oct 2021 13:15:00 UTC Think how many websites you visit or videos you stream.

In case you missed it (if that’s possible), Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp were all down for several hours on Monday. Facebook provided an update on the cause of the outage late Monday, citing a configuration change on their backbone routers as the root cause, with additional details in a subsequent blog post. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/the-impact-of-third-party-scripts-on-the-facebook-outage Kunjal Botadra https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/the-impact-of-third-party-scripts-on-the-facebook-outage Wed, 06 Oct 2021 15:00:14 UTC Understand why it's important to refine your organization’s approach.

What quickly became clear is that to be authentic in talking about what we make possible, we first needed to get crystal clear on our why — WHY our company exists, and what our greater impact on the world is. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/the-power-of-why-rediscovering-akamais-purpose Kim Salem-Jackson https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/the-power-of-why-rediscovering-akamais-purpose Tue, 05 Oct 2021 16:00:26 UTC October is here, and that means we are less than two months away from the busiest weekend of the year. Parts one and two of the Holiday Readiness blog series covered topics ranging from security checklists to disaster recovery strategies and flash crowd management. If you haven’t had a chance to review those topics and checklists, now is a critical time to start to ensure you are ready for the traffic rush the holiday season brings. https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/holiday-preparedness-things-to-think-about-2-months-out-performance-configurations Michael Hansen https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/holiday-preparedness-things-to-think-about-2-months-out-performance-configurations Mon, 04 Oct 2021 22:02:00 UTC This post covers the details of CVE-2021-40683 (CVSS 6.5), the vulnerability impacting the Akamai Enterprise Application Access (EAA) Client running on Windows systems, for which Akamai has provided a patch to its customers. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/eaa-client-escalation-of-privilege-vulnerability Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/eaa-client-escalation-of-privilege-vulnerability Mon, 04 Oct 2021 20:13:00 UTC Ransomware is everywhere. And the shift of workloads to the cloud and employees to work-from-home models has only expanded the attack surface, creating new opportunities for attackers to leverage. Companies need Zero Trust solutions that not only defend against threat actors gaining access to enterprise systems, but also mitigate the impact of infections that slip through the cracks. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attacking-a-macro-security-problem-with-micro-segmentation Charlie Gero https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/attacking-a-macro-security-problem-with-micro-segmentation Wed, 29 Sep 2021 10:04:00 UTC What do hay storage, Akamai’s Edge Connect solution, and machine learning have in common?

Over the past two years, along with our mentoring partner, the International Center for Clean Water (ICCW; an initiative of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras), we onboarded two social innovators as Cohort 1 grantees: Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment and Foundation for Environmental Monitoring, and two social innovators as Cohort 2 grantees, SmartTerra and Jaljeevika. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/learn-how-akamai-enables-ai-powered-analytics-tools-to-reduce-wa Sushma Shashidhara https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/learn-how-akamai-enables-ai-powered-analytics-tools-to-reduce-wa Fri, 17 Sep 2021 07:00:00 UTC Recently, there has been a plethora of UPX packed crypto-mining malware written in Golang targeting Linux systems and web applications popping up in the news. The malware’s primary tactic is to spread by taking advantage of vulnerable systems and weak administrative credentials. Once they’ve been infected, these systems are then used to mine cryptocurrency. I’ve named the sample I examined for this post ‘Capoae,’ based on the code’s output to my terminal. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/capoae-malware-ramps-up-uses-multiple-vulnerabilities-and-tactics-to-spread Larry Cashdollar https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/capoae-malware-ramps-up-uses-multiple-vulnerabilities-and-tactics-to-spread Thu, 16 Sep 2021 13:00:00 UTC The campaign was first seen by the Akamai SIRT on February 16, 2021, and appears to be targeting both Windows and Linux systems. The botnet caught our interest because it has shown to be highly active across a diverse set of geographical regions, including the Americas, Europe, and Asia. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/kinsing-evolves-adds-windows-to-attack-list Evyatar Saias https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/kinsing-evolves-adds-windows-to-attack-list Thu, 16 Sep 2021 13:00:00 UTC The Technical Enablement and Education team, part of Akamai’s Global Services organization, has won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Gold award for “Best Customer Training Program,” for Akamai’s flagship customer training and enablement program, Akamai University. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-s-flagship-customer-enablement-program--akamai-university Magdalena Frankiewicz https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-s-flagship-customer-enablement-program--akamai-university Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:00:00 UTC Recently Atlassian has disclosed a critical RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerability in its Confluence server and Data Center products (CVE-2021-26084), which might allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable servers. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/confluence-server-webwork-ognl-injection-cve-2021-26084 Assaf Vilmovsky , Abdeslam Bella & Maxim Zavodchik https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/confluence-server-webwork-ognl-injection-cve-2021-26084 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:00:00 UTC I’m excited to announce our new all-inclusive Learning Hub as the single destination for all product learning resources at Akamai. This new Hub gives users the ability to choose the method of learning that suits them best, whether that’s reading through technical documentation, exploring our on-demand elearning modules and hands-on labs, or joining a community discussion. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/now-live--on-demand-learning-and-hands-on-labs-at-learn-akamai Bonnie Howden https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/now-live--on-demand-learning-and-hands-on-labs-at-learn-akamai Tue, 14 Sep 2021 07:00:00 UTC In case you haven’t already been working with EdgeWorkers, it allows you to run JavaScript code across more than 4,200 locations for proximity to users and fast application response times. With more and more application functionality moving to the edge, it’s increasingly important to ensure that each function is doing what it needs to do. A unit test runs code over each segment of your program, checking the input and output. These tests allow developers to check individual areas of a program to see where (and why) errors are occurring. Several frameworks allow you to easily run your tests, including popular frameworks like Jest, Mocha, Jasmine, and Cypress. https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/jest-mocks-unit-testing-for-edgeworkers Varuna GP https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/jest-mocks-unit-testing-for-edgeworkers Wed, 08 Sep 2021 07:00:00 UTC Welcome back to the Holiday Readiness blog series. We hope part one has kept you busy over the past month as you continue to improve your security posture. If you haven’t finished all of the security checklist items, don’t worry — there is still time before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/holiday-readiness--part-two--what-you-should-be-thinking-about-t Michael Hansen https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/holiday-readiness--part-two--what-you-should-be-thinking-about-t Tue, 07 Sep 2021 04:00:00 UTC Passwords are the bane of users and security teams’ lives. Despite years of security teams educating users about not using 123456 as a password, not recycling passwords across multiple personal and professional accounts, and implementing even more rigorous password rules and investments in password manager tools, these combinations of letters, numbers, and special characters remain a rich target for attackers. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/passwords---extinction-event-looming- Richard Meeus https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/passwords---extinction-event-looming- Wed, 01 Sep 2021 07:00:00 UTC Researching malware has many challenges. One of those challenges is obfuscated code and intentionally corrupted binaries. To address challenges like this, we've written a small tool in C that could fix intentionally corrupted binaries automatically. We also plan to open-source the project so other researchers could use it too, and perhaps improve and expand upon the tool's capabilities as needed. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/upx-packed-headaches Akamai SIRT https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/upx-packed-headaches Mon, 23 Aug 2021 04:00:00 UTC With DDoS, we typically observe a moderate degree of attacker persistence. DDoS attacks are relatively easy to launch from a number of online booter services, and the availability of cryptocurrencies for payment has made it easy to remain anonymous. Attackers can try their hand at DDoS for little effort and money, and in relative safety. They give it a go, try a few things (vector, endpoint, and scale changes), and for those with effective defenses, the attacker eventually burns out. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/dogged-persistence-the-name-of-the-game-for-one-ddos-attacker Tom Emmons https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/dogged-persistence-the-name-of-the-game-for-one-ddos-attacker Wed, 18 Aug 2021 04:00:00 UTC With 35 medals at stake, the last full day of competition during the games in Tokyo generated the highest video streaming traffic for 30-plus customers on the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform. Medal matches for baseball, basketball, and soccer, along with several track and field finals, drove related traffic to 10 Tbps on Saturday, August 7. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/tokyo-streaming-traffic-runs-rings-around-rio Cory Sakakeeny https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/tokyo-streaming-traffic-runs-rings-around-rio Mon, 16 Aug 2021 04:00:00 UTC HTTP Request Smuggling (also known as an HTTP Desync Attack) has experienced a resurgence in security research recently, thanks in large part to the outstanding work by security researcher James Kettle. His 2019 Blackhat presentation on HTTP Desync attacks exposed vulnerabilities with different implementations of the HTTP Standards, particularly within proxy servers and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).These implementation differences with regard to how proxy servers interpret the construction of web requests have led to new request smuggling vulnerabilities. (Direct link to information on new vulnerability). https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/http-2-request-smuggling Ryan Barnett https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/http-2-request-smuggling Thu, 05 Aug 2021 04:00:00 UTC Within hours from the moment our in-house built fuzzer, hAFL1, started running – it found a critical, CVSS 9.9 RCE vulnerability in Hyper-V’s virtual driver. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/discovering-a-critical-0-day Ophir Harpaz & Peleg Hadar https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/discovering-a-critical-0-day Wed, 04 Aug 2021 13:00:00 UTC As I began my CSR Co-op position this year, I wanted to see up-close how a corporate foundation works. What I've found is that the work the Akamai Foundation does around the world is inspiring! Whether it's partnering with STEM educators, responding to the COVID-19 crisis, planning employee volunteerism efforts, or creating a hardship fund to support our community, what we do here has a positive impact across the globe. And, thanks to this co-op opportunity, I've been able to play a real part in driving this impact forward. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/putting-purpose-first-as-akamai-co-op Caitlin Brightman https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/putting-purpose-first-as-akamai-co-op Mon, 02 Aug 2021 04:00:00 UTC For more than 20 years, Akamai has worked very hard to earn the trust and confidence of our customers and partners by developing services that can be relied upon to be available and secure at all times. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamais-commitment-to-reliability Tom Leighton https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamais-commitment-to-reliability Fri, 30 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC Maybe you’ve just found out that your company’s IT organization is implementing Zero Trust. Does that mean they don’t trust you? “Zero Trust” sure sounds that way. Maybe you’ve read about it online or heard somebody talk about it in terms that equate Zero Trust with the idea that users and devices are never trusted. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-should-not-give-it-a-bad-name Robert Blumofe https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-should-not-give-it-a-bad-name Thu, 29 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC The beginning of August is upon us, and if you haven’t already started thinking about the busiest time of the year, now is a good time to do so. Whether you’re an experienced veteran of managing peak traffic or new to the game, Q4 can bring surprises when it comes to performance and security. And while it’s nearly impossible to prepare for every situation, there are a number of options and solutions available at Akamai to help manage the surge of traffic (both good and bad) that will be hitting the retail industry during the holiday season, especially on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/holiday-readiness-what-you-should-be-thinking-about-four-months Michael Hansen https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/holiday-readiness-what-you-should-be-thinking-about-four-months Thu, 29 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC Guardicore Labs, in collaboration with SafeBreach Labs, found a critical vulnerability in Hyper-V’s virtual network switch driver (vmswitch.sys). https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/critical-vulnerability-in-hyper-v-allowed-attackers-to-exploit-azure Ophir Harpaz & Peleg Hadar https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/critical-vulnerability-in-hyper-v-allowed-attackers-to-exploit-azure Wed, 28 Jul 2021 13:00:00 UTC Akamai engineering has adopted new technology concepts to enhance and expand routing capabilities at the edge. Previously, Akamai’s traffic-steering capabilities were mainly focused on DNS-based routing. In this article, we would like to give you an in-depth look at how Akamai has embraced new routing technology concepts and merged them into the Akamai edge to enhance routing capabilities, provide faster and better traffic steering, and offer even better performance. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/software-defined-networking-concept-adoption-at-akamai Eran Gal https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/software-defined-networking-concept-adoption-at-akamai Wed, 28 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC If I had a dollar for every time I heard the phrase “digital transformation,” I would have a lot of dollars. I’m sure you would too. We’d have even more if we counted the term “Zero Trust.” (Maybe we should start counting them, now that I think about it!) https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/cutting-the-red-tape-lessons-learned-from-cyberthreats-2021 Bridget Meuse https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/cutting-the-red-tape-lessons-learned-from-cyberthreats-2021 Tue, 27 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC With the transition to remote work, we often hear the term remote access used in unison. Typically, remote work application access is facilitated via a remote access mechanism and, presumably, local work application access is facilitated via a local access mechanism. But I argue that this connection does not really hold true. Sure, remote work does require the use of a remote access mechanism, but the mechanism can and should also be used for local work. There's really no such thing as local access. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/all-access-is-or-should-be-remote-access Robert Blumofe https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/all-access-is-or-should-be-remote-access Tue, 27 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC Last week, we gathered a few of the most prominent leaders and experts from every corner of the federal space to talk about all things cybersecurity and digital transformation. Discussions ranged from the move toward Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and effectively managing identities and access with a secure web gateway (SWG) to keep data safe, to what the executive order on cybersecurity means for agencies -- time to implement a multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/anyone-for-alphabet-soup-ztna-swgs-mfa-and-more-lessons-learned Bridget Meuse https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/anyone-for-alphabet-soup-ztna-swgs-mfa-and-more-lessons-learned Mon, 26 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC Near the end of March 2020, G2A.COM saw its traffic virtually double overnight. The pandemic had just begun, and people were looking for ways to stay entertained and connected under lockdown. Not surprisingly, a lot of people turned to video games, and G2A.COM was one of the first places they went to for affordable game keys and activation codes. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/g2as-journey-to-global-growth-part-1-keeping-gamers-and-geeks Jonathan Singer https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/g2as-journey-to-global-growth-part-1-keeping-gamers-and-geeks Mon, 26 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC Backhauling traffic destroys performance, and backhauling attack traffic can destroy even more. Nevertheless, in a traditional security deployment model, we are faced with the lose-lose options of either backhauling all traffic to the security stack or allowing some accesses to not go through the security stack. Of course, in the modern world where cyberattacks can cause enormous damage, the latter option is not really an option at all. All traffic must route through a robust security stack. So how do we accomplish this goal without backhauling? The answer is Zero Trust security deployed and delivered as an edge service. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/why-zero-trust-needs-the-edge Robert Blumofe https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/why-zero-trust-needs-the-edge Mon, 26 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC At 15:45 UTC on July 22, 2021, a software configuration update triggered a bug in our Secure Edge Content Delivery Network impacting that network's domain name service (DNS) system (the system that directs browsers to websites for that specific service). This caused a disruption impacting availability of some customer websites. The disruption lasted up to an hour. Upon rolling back the software configuration update, the services resumed normal operations. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-summarizes-service-disruption-resolved Mani Sundaram https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamai-summarizes-service-disruption-resolved Thu, 22 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC Though Zero Trust is really quite simple and should be viewed as a very strong form of the age-old principle of least privilege, that does not mean that it is the same thing. In fact, one of the most significant differences from what came before is that when it comes to access, Zero Trust is based on application access, not network access. I was surprised, then, when Gartner's new SASE (secure access service edge) model included something called Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). This term is an oxymoron, and I make this point because it matters. The distinction between network access and application access is important. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-network-access-is-an-oxymoron Robert Blumofe https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-network-access-is-an-oxymoron Tue, 20 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC If the term Zero Trust has been popping up in your news feed with astonishing frequency lately, you may be tempted to think that Zero Trust must be a brand-new technology cooked up in a research lab at MIT and powered by the latest artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing, and a 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor. In this and subsequent blog posts, I want to make the case that, in fact, Zero Trust is all about simplicity, and that at its core, Zero Trust is a strong form of the age-old principle of least privilege. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-network-access-not-as-scary-as-it-sounds Robert Blumofe https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/zero-trust-network-access-not-as-scary-as-it-sounds Thu, 15 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC On July 2, 2021, Kaseya disclosed an active attack against customers using its VSA product, and urged all on-premise customers to switch-off Kaseya VSA. Shortly before this alert, users on Reddit started describing ransomware incidents against managed security providers (MSPs), and the common thread among them was on-premise VSA deployments. In the hours to follow, several indicators of compromise (IOCs) were released, and Akamai was able to observe some of that traffic. A patch for the VSA product was released by Kaseya on July 11. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/kaseya-supply-chain-ransomware-attack Ryan Barnett https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/kaseya-supply-chain-ransomware-attack Thu, 15 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC The video streaming traffic that Akamai delivered for more than 30 rights-holding customers during the July 11 Italy-England football (soccer) final as part of the delayed-to-2021European soccer tournament peaked at 34.9 Tbps on the Akamai edge platform. The traffic peak during the final match was the highest that Akamai reached for the tournament and was nearly 5x greater than the 7.3 Tbps peak of the 2016 Portugal-France championship match. Traffic during the June 29, 2021, round-of-16 match between Germany and England was the second-highest peak for the tournament, reaching 33.9 Tbps; third-highest was the July 6 Italy-Spain semi-final at 32.6 Tbps. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/streaming-numbers-jump-for-european-football-tournament-delivered Chris Nicholson https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/streaming-numbers-jump-for-european-football-tournament-delivered Wed, 14 Jul 2021 04:00:00 UTC I've spent my entire career in technology and can still recall the time when a desktop PC was the only way to work. (Truth be told, I'm also old enough to remember dumb terminals.) I also remember my first company laptop -- a beast of a thing with a monochrome display so thick it came with an integrated 2.5" floppy drive and a battery life that made it barely usable.

I've seen the evolution from 1x to 3G to 4G and now 5G over the many years I've worked in the mobile space, and 5G and IoT will drive the biggest changes we have seen on the edge in 10 or 20 years. https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/the-edge-is-becoming-more-critical-in-a-world-of-5g-and-iot Jonathan Morgan https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/the-edge-is-becoming-more-critical-in-a-world-of-5g-and-iot Fri, 19 Mar 2021 04:00:00 UTC In my previous blog, I discussed the important role multi-factor authentication (MFA) plays in further securing access to enterprise and consumer services. We also established the fact that although MFA increases authentication security and decreases the risk of account takeover, MFA can, and is, being bypassed in the wild. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/finding-the-cracks-in-the-wall-how-modern-scams-bypass-mfa-blog2 Or Katz https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/finding-the-cracks-in-the-wall-how-modern-scams-bypass-mfa-blog2 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 04:00:00 UTC Today, Akamai announced Akamai MFA, a phish-proof multi-factor authentication (MFA) service for the workforce that delivers all of the security benefits of FIDO2 with the frictionless end-user experience of a mobile push on a smartphone. Why has Akamai introduced this new service? https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/phish-proof-multi-factor-authentication-with-akamai-mfa-blog-3 Jim Black https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/phish-proof-multi-factor-authentication-with-akamai-mfa-blog-3 Tue, 16 Mar 2021 04:00:00 UTC The use of authentication factors, one of the most fundamental and well understood concepts in information security, enables secure access to applications, services, and networks. It can affect an enterprise's security posture, however, as the drastic increase in data breaches and system attacks are largely based on compromised authentication. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/finding-the-cracks-in-the-wall-the-hazard-of-single-authentication-factor Or Katz https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/finding-the-cracks-in-the-wall-the-hazard-of-single-authentication-factor Tue, 16 Mar 2021 04:00:00 UTC There are many crypto mining malware variants infecting systems on the internet. On Friday, March 4, 2021, I noticed an interesting hit in my honeypot logs. The binary it captured stood out, as it was rather large at 4MB. I immediately thought it would be a crypto miner written in the Go language. I was correct. This one however, has some newer exploits it's using for proliferation. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/another-golang-crypto-miner-on-the-loose Larry Cashdollar https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/another-golang-crypto-miner-on-the-loose Tue, 16 Mar 2021 04:00:00 UTC On March 2, 2021, the Microsoft Security Response Center alerted its customers to several critical security updates to Microsoft Exchange Server, addressing vulnerabilities currently under attack. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/appsec-protections-for-microsoft-exchange-cve Amol Mathur https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/appsec-protections-for-microsoft-exchange-cve Mon, 15 Mar 2021 04:00:00 UTC It's been an interesting start to March in terms of public security incidents. This month kicked off with multiple zero-day exploits being used to attack on-premises versions of Microsoft Exchange Server. And, as if that wasn't enough, that attack was quickly followed by the news that a hacktivist https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/microsoft-exchange-and-verkada-hacks-isolate-your-apps-and-apis-from-the-internet-cesspool Lorenz Jakober https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/microsoft-exchange-and-verkada-hacks-isolate-your-apps-and-apis-from-the-internet-cesspool Sun, 14 Mar 2021 05:00:00 UTC According to the description, the service is a virtual private network (VPN) desktop application and proxy browser extension that helps viewers mask their physical location, circumvent censorship, and restore access to blocked content. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/act-against-geopiracy-with-enhanced-proxy-detection Sandeep Singh https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/act-against-geopiracy-with-enhanced-proxy-detection Fri, 12 Mar 2021 05:00:00 UTC In March 2020, Akamai saw a dramatic 30% rise in internet traffic -- equivalent to an entire year of growth. Post-pandemic, we believe there will be a return to normal internet traffic growth, but many things will never be the same. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/akamai-offers-free-tier-for-client-side-edge-security Mike Kane https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/akamai-offers-free-tier-for-client-side-edge-security Fri, 12 Mar 2021 05:00:00 UTC We are pleased to announce the launch of EdgeKV, our distributed key-value store, into beta! EdgeKV is enabling technology for EdgeWorkers, our serverless computing platform that enables developers to create services using JavaScript and deploy them across our platform.

Better than what exactly? https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/better-or-more-effective Fadi Saba https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/better-or-more-effective Mon, 01 Mar 2021 05:00:00 UTC We're proud of the progress Akamai has made in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/akamais-new-esg-office-a-catalyst-for-environmental-and-social-progress Aaron Ahola https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/akamais-new-esg-office-a-catalyst-for-environmental-and-social-progress Thu, 25 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC Having previously decided we need to make a new hire onto our team, part 1 of this series examined how to meet the needs of our team going into the future, instead of just adding surface visible technical skills. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/optimizing-for-performance-one-hire-at-a-time-part-3 Kathryn Kun https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/optimizing-for-performance-one-hire-at-a-time-part-3 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC New improvements to Guardicore Centra make it the fastest and simplest solution to protect against ransomware and meet the needs of zero trust. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/centra-update-r26 Guardicore Labs Team https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/centra-update-r26 Wed, 24 Feb 2021 14:00:00 UTC A recent piece of malware from a known crypto mining botnet campaign has started leveraging Bitcoin blockchain transactions in order to hide its backup C2 IP address. It's a simple, yet effective, way to defeat takedown attempts. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/bitcoins--blockchains--and-botnets Evyatar Saias https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/bitcoins--blockchains--and-botnets Tue, 23 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC I remember well my first day as a member of Akamai's InfoSec department. The Friday prior, I'd just completed the Akamai Technical Academy, a five-month crash-course in all things tech, and was now, on a cold but sunny Monday morning, joining InfoSec for their weekly staff meeting. Eager to make a good first impression, I took a seat at the large, crowded conference table, opened my notebook, and started to take notes. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/out-of-my-depth-where-i-belong Guest Blogger https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/out-of-my-depth-where-i-belong Fri, 19 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC The work of creating the most inclusive and diverse organization is never-ending. While that may seem daunting to some, I see it as exhilarating. Sure, I say that from the perspective of VP! But at Akamai, Inclusion, Diversity, & Engagement (ID&E) is a set of habits that belong to us all, and it's a commitment we should proudly share. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/our-role-in-inclusion-diversity-engagement-by-khalil-smith Khalil Smith https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/our-role-in-inclusion-diversity-engagement-by-khalil-smith Thu, 18 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC Do the math. For the past decade, digital businesses have been investing in digital transformation initiatives. The promise is to increase top-line growth while maximizing customer lifetime value. As infrastructure improves, IT spending is shifting from the cloud to the edge. But while edge computing makes headlines, can you expect a meaningful return? https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/can-edge-computing-exist-without-the-edge-part-3-the-economics-of-edge-computing Ari Weil https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/can-edge-computing-exist-without-the-edge-part-3-the-economics-of-edge-computing Thu, 18 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC On 14 July, 2020, Oliver Hough, a security researcher from Cyjax, published a report centered on a phishing campaign targeting banking customers in the United Kingdom, which evades two-factor authentication (2FA). https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/massive-campaign-targeting-uk-banks-bypassing-2fa Or Katz https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/massive-campaign-targeting-uk-banks-bypassing-2fa Thu, 18 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC It's not news that some of the top government agencies and companies in the world were victims of the SolarWinds attack. At this point, I can say it's the reason I didn't have a smoother transition back into work-life following a long vacation. As I understand it, the breaches happened after malicious code was inserted into a software patch that was downloaded by the companies and agencies. The installation of the patch executed malicious code, called SUNBURST, which created an entry point for other malicious codes (TEARDROP/RAINDROP). These additional codes were used to allow attackers to move laterally within the network and exfiltrate sensitive customer information to a public command and control server. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/solarwinds-hack-and-the-case-of-dns-security Chinedu Egonu https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/solarwinds-hack-and-the-case-of-dns-security Tue, 16 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC Account takeovers (ATOs), in which criminals impersonate legitimate account owners in order to take control of an account, cause tremendous pain for businesses in all industries. This pain may be monetary, such as losses from stolen accounts, but may also include a number of related problems, like regulatory and legal issues, lost customers, and the inability to gain new consumers due to a lack of trust. Losses from ATOs and new account fraud are estimated at more than $10 billion annually in the United States alone. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/credential-stuffing-and-account-takeovers-the-business-view Christine Ferrusi Ross https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/credential-stuffing-and-account-takeovers-the-business-view Thu, 11 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC It's 2021, but the anxiety, fear, uncertainty, and stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 is very much alive today. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/nhs-vaccine-scams-criminals-still-targeting-covid-19-anxiety Steve Ragan https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/nhs-vaccine-scams-criminals-still-targeting-covid-19-anxiety Thu, 11 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC IPCdump allows software based firewall developers, researchers, and linux users to explore the Inter-process-communication (IPC) channels. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/ipcdump-guardicores-new-open-source-tool-for-linux-ipc-inspection JJ Lehmann https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/ipcdump-guardicores-new-open-source-tool-for-linux-ipc-inspection Wed, 10 Feb 2021 14:00:00 UTC Thanks to the unique perspectives we have via the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform, we're able to observe massive amounts of web traffic and data that provide insights across the various industries Akamai serves.

The initiative, which launched in 2000, consists of two main programs: DigiGirlz Day and High Tech Camp. This program has been a cornerstone of Microsoft's community engagement for more than 20 years, but this year the events were in jeopardy of being cancelled because of the pandemic. So, what do you do when your passion for helping others meets a challenge?

These files must be moved around the network, and as you might imagine, transferring thousands of files in a multi-tenant network can take a very long time. Add a synchronous API to this problem, and we quickly get into a situation where the Policy Manager UI can freeze until a back-end transfer operation times out. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/edge-redirector-cloudlet-gets-faster Jeffrey Costa https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/edge-redirector-cloudlet-gets-faster Mon, 08 Feb 2021 05:00:00 UTC Isn't it amazing how seemingly simple decisions can have far-reaching effects?

To use a musical analogy, the bow is just resting on the first string, with more notes sure to follow. At Akamai, our ESG instrument is well tuned and ready for the symphony to come, as evidenced by our 2020 Sustainability Report released this week. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/our-esg-commitment-investing-in-a-better-world Aaron Ahola https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/our-esg-commitment-investing-in-a-better-world Thu, 28 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC This is Part 3 of a 3-part blog series highlighting some of the distinguishing aspects of Akamai's authoritative DNS services, Edge DNS and Global Traffic Management.

When I started at Akamai, we used to have traffic peaks of almost 200 Mbps. From that fledgling startup, Akamai has now grown to such a scale that we almost doubled network capacity in 2020 and were able to serve peaks of almost 200 Tbps. In short, just like the internet, Akamai has undergone quite the evolution. But as we've grown, so have our environmental impacts. In fact, the internet as a whole is responsible for more than 2% of global emissions, having the same impact as the airline industry. Our online streaming, learning, working, shopping, and playing habits have all started to add up. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/maintaining-an-energy-efficient-edge-platform Vinay Kanitkar https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/maintaining-an-energy-efficient-edge-platform Tue, 26 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC I recently worked with a client whose large e-commerce site was hosted with a popular cloud-based commerce solution. Its business was growing rapidly into new geographic markets, and it was not satisfied with the embedded content delivery network (eCDN) that was bundled with the cloud solution. We demonstrated that stacking CDNs -- adding Akamai's Ion solution on top of the eCDN -- could significantly improve performance as well as provide the client with much greater control over its delivery configuration https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/stacking-cdns-for-improved-performance-and-security Simon Hearne https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/stacking-cdns-for-improved-performance-and-security Tue, 26 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC Never before has the risk of a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack been higher. In 2020, we saw record-breaking attacks, a DDoS extortion campaign impacting thousands of organizations globally, more emergency customer turnups, and more Akamai customers attacked than any year on record -- and we've been successfully fighting DDoS attacks since 2003! We also saw a big increase in attacks targeting verticals that haven't seen as much activity of late, with 7 of 11 of the industries we track seeing peak attack counts in 2020. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/part-i-retrospective-2020-ddos-was-back-bigger-and-badder-than-ever-before Tom Emmons https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/part-i-retrospective-2020-ddos-was-back-bigger-and-badder-than-ever-before Tue, 26 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC In this blog, we will take a look at and break down a recent Magecart attack detected and mitigated by Client-Side Protection & Compliance. The impacted customer operates a large international e-commerce business in which one of its websites was compromised with a malicious script. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/how-page-integrity-manager-detects-real-world-magecart-attacks Ziv Eli https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/how-page-integrity-manager-detects-real-world-magecart-attacks Tue, 26 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC When we write the SOTI and talk about attacks against gamers, we spend a good deal of time focusing on network-level events, such as DDoS and credential stuffing. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/minecraft-players-are-targets-even-off-the-network Steve Ragan https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/minecraft-players-are-targets-even-off-the-network Tue, 26 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC This post will focus on the weaponization of a few of the exploits only, as Sarit and Ofir documented everything else. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/what-happens-when-your-vulnerability-is-weaponized-for-botnet-proliferation Larry Cashdollar https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/what-happens-when-your-vulnerability-is-weaponized-for-botnet-proliferation Tue, 26 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC If I had a dollar for every time I heard “unprecedented” in 2020, I could fund a clean energy project myself. And while we're tired of hearing this term, it's true amid the pandemic, U.S. presidential election, social justice movements, finalization of Brexit, and many other new and life-changing events that took place this past year. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/sustainability-at-akamai-an-efficient-platform-powered-by-energy-aggregation Mike Mattera https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/sustainability-at-akamai-an-efficient-platform-powered-by-energy-aggregation Mon, 25 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC Last year proved to be a year like no other. We faced unforeseen challenges, including adjusting to a new way of working, collaborating, and conducting business. It is an honor for me to announce the Akamai Partners of the Year for 2020 who went above and beyond in this tumultuous year. These awards recognize Akamai Partner Program (APP) partners that consistently delivered significant sales successes, innovative solution partnerships, and unequaled service levels as they adapted to the new norm of digital transformation. https://www.akamai.com/blog/partners/2021/jan/congratulations-to-2020-akamai-partners-of-the-year Micheal McCollough https://www.akamai.com/blog/partners/2021/jan/congratulations-to-2020-akamai-partners-of-the-year Mon, 25 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC Live news streaming traffic during the Biden inauguration ceremony on January 20 peaked at 12 Tbps on the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform. The peak, which occurred as now-President Biden was taking the oath of office just before 12 PM ET, is roughly 8x higher than what we typically see for mid-day traffic on a weekday. However, it's still less than the 18 Tbps we observed during 2020 election night on November 3. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/streaming-traffic-peaks-during-biden-inauguration Harish Menon https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/streaming-traffic-peaks-during-biden-inauguration Fri, 22 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC While I've worked for Silicon Valley-based startups and even spent time in the travel tech industry, I'd sometimes feel I was just part of the system. Working each day to earn my keep, and with no bigger purpose than that. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/a-place-to-belong-by-sheng-thong-hsin Thong Hsin Sheng https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/a-place-to-belong-by-sheng-thong-hsin Wed, 20 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC If you turned on a new game console and/or downloaded video games over the holidays, you certainly weren't alone. New data from Akamai shows that game-related traffic delivered across our network was more than double the Q4 average on December 25, and up nearly 50% on December 26. During the same period, traffic for all other industries combined was relatively even compared to the rest of the quarter. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/games-drive-christmas-web-traffic Jonathan Singer https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/games-drive-christmas-web-traffic Wed, 20 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC Check out these features around segmentation and visibility that can help working with Guardicore Centra even simpler. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/5-things-you-didnt-know-you-could-do-with-guardicore-centra Guardicore Labs Team https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/5-things-you-didnt-know-you-could-do-with-guardicore-centra Tue, 19 Jan 2021 21:15:00 UTC What if you had a single solution that was able to detect non-compliant and high-risk endpoints and servers, assess their level of exposure, and then immediately secure these servers and endpoints with laser-sharp segmentation policies? https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/guardicore-insight-adding-best-in-class-osquery-visibility-to-secure-your-workloads Guardicore Labs Team https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/guardicore-insight-adding-best-in-class-osquery-visibility-to-secure-your-workloads Tue, 19 Jan 2021 15:59:00 UTC In today's workplace, the landscape is a fast-paced, competitive environment, and today's employees are frequently on the hunt for growth opportunities. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/internalship-program-by-kurian-thomas Kurian Thomas https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/internalship-program-by-kurian-thomas Wed, 13 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC Emotet malware has been around since 2014, but 2020 saw a resurgence of attacks. In September 2020, Emotet affected 14% of organizations worldwide. So, what is Emotet? And why is it so dangerous? https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/emotet-a-year-in-the-life-of-a-malware Jim Black https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/emotet-a-year-in-the-life-of-a-malware Tue, 12 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC At Akamai, we all contribute to our diverse, inclusive, and engaged culture. One in which we each have a voice and are empowered to have a meaningful impact on our business and its direction. It's by fostering this culture across teams that we're able to achieve the company's guiding principles. For all of us, it means putting our clients, employees and communities front and center in our daily work. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/building-a-cross-team-culture-by-rick-mcconnell Rick McConnell https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/building-a-cross-team-culture-by-rick-mcconnell Fri, 08 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC At long last, Blue Water Farm is generating revenue! Around 20 acres of our land consists of dense, mature hardwood of oak, maple, and beech, and we were able to contract to sell 65 maple and 25 oak trees to a logging company. I won't be retiring from Akamai any time soon from our logging windfall, but it's nice to see some revenue from our land, and clearing mature trees is a part of good responsible forest management. https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/tree-tracker-auditing-a-log-harvest-using-iot-edge-connect-and-node-red Brian Apley https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/tree-tracker-auditing-a-log-harvest-using-iot-edge-connect-and-node-red Tue, 05 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC As I reflect on 2020 and the way in which the pandemic affected the business world, what stands out to me is the incredible increase in streaming content consumed on the internet. We've seen launches of some of the highest-profile streaming services to date between late 2019 and 2020. People are continuously streaming content and we need to consider the impact that increased viewership is having on the world. When you sit down to catch a movie or binge watch that latest series, do you consider the effect that streamed content has on the rest of the world? We will continue to see an uptick in carbon emissions from the power required to serve online content: servers, network hardware, and the energy needed to keep it all cool. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/keeping-emissions-in-check-during-unprecedented-internet-use Mike Mattera https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/keeping-emissions-in-check-during-unprecedented-internet-use Tue, 05 Jan 2021 05:00:00 UTC On October 2020, the Akamai Technical Enablement and Education (TE&E) Team -- responsible for creating product-training certifications for employees (Global Services and Support [GSS]), customers (Akamai University), and channel partners (Advanced Partner Enablement) -- won its second industry award for program design, functionality, and impact. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamais-technical-enablement-and-education-team-part-of-the-global-services-and-support-organization-1 Andrew Heifetz https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/akamais-technical-enablement-and-education-team-part-of-the-global-services-and-support-organization-1 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 05:00:00 UTC In terms of cyberthreats and digital risk, 2020 has been all about distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/akamai-prolexic-and-equinix-cloud-exchange-unite-bringing-ddos-defense-closer-to-the-customer-origin Greg Burns https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/akamai-prolexic-and-equinix-cloud-exchange-unite-bringing-ddos-defense-closer-to-the-customer-origin Tue, 29 Dec 2020 05:00:00 UTC This blog post -- the fourth in a series -- will discuss how smart DNS resolvers can enhance ongoing ISP and MNO network transformation efforts, such as the transition to 5G, better integration of Wi-Fi, and new network designs that optimize the edge to improve service delivery and network efficiency. https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/smart-dns-for-the-new-network-edge-emerging-requirements-for-dns-encryption Bruce Van Nice https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/smart-dns-for-the-new-network-edge-emerging-requirements-for-dns-encryption Mon, 28 Dec 2020 05:00:00 UTC We introduce a novel machine learning approach that uses network flows to generate application-level representation of public and private cloud networks. This will greatly simplify the journey to a micro-segmented network. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/research-academic Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/research-academic Wed, 23 Dec 2020 14:00:00 UTC So, you're starting your own game studio. This is an incredible opportunity! You and your team get to start fresh and build the game of your dreams! But, let's be honest, if you have just founded your own game studio, odds are that you're not a technical architect. You may have some technical know-how, but studio founders typically come from the creative side. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/launching-a-new-game-studio-and-planning-for-growth Jonathan Singer https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/launching-a-new-game-studio-and-planning-for-growth Wed, 23 Dec 2020 05:00:00 UTC Microservice architecture has transformed the way we develop and operate our applications. Microservices aren't a technology or a programming language. Instead, they create a structure for designing and building applications based on the idea that the individual functions of a website should operate independently. From this simple concept comes a multitude of benefits including: https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/how-the-edge-improves-microservices Pavel Despot https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/how-the-edge-improves-microservices Tue, 22 Dec 2020 05:00:00 UTC The presence of public "over the top" DNS resolution alternatives is a strong motivator for ISPs to invest in making their DNS resolution infrastructure the best that it can be. Resolvers are the glue that binds subscribers to their fixed and mobile broadband services. Operators of public DNS services will play a significant role in controlling the user experience and gain goodwill if they succeed in persuading subscribers to use their resolvers. Worse, when public DNS services fail, it's probable that subscribers will blame their service provider because they may not understand the critical role DNS plays, or may not even remember they switched their DNS settings! https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/smart-dns-for-the-new-network-optimizing-content-delivery Bruce Van Nice https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/smart-dns-for-the-new-network-optimizing-content-delivery Thu, 17 Dec 2020 05:00:00 UTC Unfortunately, today's sophisticated web application threats have gained some advantages over typical WAFs: Favorable odds -- WAFs must correctly identify attacks 100% of the time, whereas attackers have the luxury of only needing to find a single bypass or evasion Temporary fixes -- Many WAFs use a "whack-a-mole" response tactic by only denying the individual attack request, allowing the attacker to make repeated attempts Persistence -- If left unimpeded, attackers may eventually find some type of payload obfuscation that minimizes detection effectiveness The confluence of these advantages should concern WAF customers. Let's take a closer look at the typical web attacker methodology to see why. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/penalty-box Ryan Barnett https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/penalty-box Tue, 15 Dec 2020 19:26:00 UTC The presence of public "over-the-top" DNS resolution alternatives is a strong motivator for internet service providers (ISPs) to invest in making their DNS resolution infrastructure the best that it can be.

This is an important foundation upon which to explain the difference between cloud computing and edge computing. The two serve very different and complementary purposes.

With the typical 10s segment durations of the day, livestream latencies (measuring latency as the time from an action being filmed to that same action being displayed on a device's screen) remained in the 30s to 60s range, trailing broadcast by a significant degree. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/-using-ll-hls-with-byte-range-addressing-to-achieve-interoperabi Will Law https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/-using-ll-hls-with-byte-range-addressing-to-achieve-interoperabi Mon, 23 Nov 2020 08:00:00 UTC Since mid-August, a variety of threat actors (and copycats alike) have been targeting organizations across all industries globally, threatening impending DDoS attacks unless Bitcoin is paid out. It's apparent, as the campaign rages on, that some businesses must be paying the extortion demands, -- incentivizing the criminal activity. Others are procuring emergency DDoS defenses in order to withstand bandwidth-busting attacks and keep internet-facing infrastructure protected. As highlighted in our last blog, we've been busy ramping customers on to our DDoS mitigation platforms for rapid protection before the threat actors strike again. And based on recent activity, they desire a rematch. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/don-t-let-ddos-extortionists-deliver-a-ko-punch Susan McReynolds https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/don-t-let-ddos-extortionists-deliver-a-ko-punch Fri, 20 Nov 2020 19:14:00 UTC While recently looking over my honeypots, I discovered an infection where a malicious actor added a storefront on top of my existing WordPress installation.

One example is the sometimes onerous task of typing a URL into a web browser's address bar. Since users prefer short, easy-to-remember URLs, an internet trend is to use short domains for websites (e.g., edgedns.zone). With short website names, users benefit from the convenience of fewer characters to remember and type. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/redundant--secure--and-open-short-domains--a-vision-for-multi-pr Jim Gilbert https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/redundant--secure--and-open-short-domains--a-vision-for-multi-pr Wed, 11 Nov 2020 16:44:00 UTC A new skimmer attack was discovered this week, targeting various online e-commerce sites built with different frameworks.

But if you have been reading headlines, you would be justified in having doubts that the answer is that simple. https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/can-edge-computing-exist-without-the-edge-part-1-the-edge Ari Weil https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/can-edge-computing-exist-without-the-edge-part-1-the-edge Mon, 19 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC In terms of the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) landscape, 2020 was almost boring prior to the beginning of August. The excitement from the record peak Gbps and Mpps seen in early summer had worn off, and we weren't seeing... https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/ddos-extortion-examination Tom Emmons https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/ddos-extortion-examination Fri, 16 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC Edge computing is the next natural paradigm shift in IT, bringing a new wave of decentralization. Over the past decade, IT has embraced two seemingly juxtaposed trends: the consolidation of infrastructure and data in private, public, or hybrid clouds, and the growing distribution and diversity of devices that access them. How can these trends continue to coexist? The answer is at the edge. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/why-take-it-to-the-edge Lelah Manz https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/why-take-it-to-the-edge Thu, 15 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC Welcome to the Akamai Platform Update! We're presenting an entire week of learning about Akamai's recent product updates. Each day, we'll highlight our latest innovations in each area of the Akamai Intelligent Platform. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/whats-new-in-security-part-2 Lorenz Jakober https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/whats-new-in-security-part-2 Wed, 14 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC Eleven months ago, I joined Akamai as a result of the acquisition of a company I was partner of. The former company was small compared to Akamai, but had operations in several countries in the region, from Argentina to Mexico. In this company, we had been working with Akamai for 17 years, but on November 1, 2019, we officially became a part of the family. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/latinex-month-and-our-culture-by-claudio-baumann Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/latinex-month-and-our-culture-by-claudio-baumann Tue, 13 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC APIs have become a dominant mechanism in the modern web, allowing organizations to create powerful web and mobile experiences, while exposing back-end data and logic to create new and innovative offerings. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/api-discovery-and-profiling-visibility-to-protection Amol Mathur https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/api-discovery-and-profiling-visibility-to-protection Tue, 13 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC With Akamai's web security portfolio, the top focus this October is on the web application firewall (WAF), with exciting new capabilities: API Discovery and Adaptive Security Profiles. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/whats-new-in-web-security Renny Shen https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/whats-new-in-web-security Tue, 13 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC Page Integrity Manager is now PCI compliant -- a strong starting point to harden your web applications https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/how-to-be-resilient-to-data-theft Gerhard Giese https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/how-to-be-resilient-to-data-theft Tue, 13 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC The internet has become one of the most important access points in our daily lives. Unexpected surges in demand can slow web pages and create service outages for unprepared websites. A poor user experience leads to dissatisfied customers, making it more critical than ever to visualize and control online performance. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/visualize-visitor-prioritization-in-real-time-with-mpulse Hitoshi Kaneko https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/visualize-visitor-prioritization-in-real-time-with-mpulse Mon, 12 Oct 2020 13:00:00 UTC Next year is shaping up to be a big one for live streaming. Typically characteristic of even years, when many major international sporting events take place, 2021 looks like it could defy the trend. Akamai is predicting an unprecedented surge in live streaming that will start in late 2020 and continue throughout 2021. During this stretch, we could realistically see 50 million people concurrently streaming a single live event. That's roughly double the largest number of viewers we've seen during a single event in the past. With this in mind, Akamai has used much of 2020 to prepare new capabilities included in the Akamai Platform Update that will help customers prepare for this surge in live streaming. https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/preparing-the-edge-for-a-big-year-in-live-streaming Alex Balford https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/preparing-the-edge-for-a-big-year-in-live-streaming Mon, 12 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC According to a 2020 State of the Cloud Report, 61% of organizations plan to focus on cloud migration this year and 93% have a multi-cloud strategy. This means that on average your organization is using 2.2 public clouds, multiplying your complexity and costs. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/three-cloud-first-akamai-initiatives-to-support-your-cloud-journey CJ Arnesen https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/three-cloud-first-akamai-initiatives-to-support-your-cloud-journey Mon, 12 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC The October 2020 release marks the culmination of a large number of updates to mPulse, Akamai's real user monitoring (RUM) solution: https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/timers-metrics-and-dimensions-whats-new-in-mpulse-in-2020 Simon Hearne https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/timers-metrics-and-dimensions-whats-new-in-mpulse-in-2020 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC Welcome to day two of the Akamai Platform Update! Today, we're focusing on Akamai's edge delivery products as well as other complimentary products that help drive great digital experiences. The last several months have been nothing short of unprecedented as lockdowns, quarantines, and other protective measures enacted by governments and organizations drove a sudden and dramatic shift in user behavior, which in turn has driven enormous traffic levels. Akamai's importance has never been more evident as companies continue to rely on the intelligent edge platform to maintain business continuity and support the unprecedented traffic demand from online audiences. Regardless of the type of content, be it websites, apps, APIs, video, software, or smaller objects, Akamai's comprehensive set of content delivery products -- including Ion, Adaptive Media Delivery, and Download Delivery -- are designed to deliver great digital experiences for every user, regardless of location, device, or network. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/whats-new-in-delivery Alex Balford https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/whats-new-in-delivery Mon, 12 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC Google recently announced a proposed update to its search ranking algorithm: the Page Experience Update. This change, which launches in 2021, includes more performance signals in the ranking algorithm. A subtle but important feature of the update is that AMP will no longer be a requirement for promotion to Top Stories -- fast pages are all you need! https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/measuring-improving-core-web-vitals Simon Hearne https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/measuring-improving-core-web-vitals Mon, 12 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC As campaigns and digital experiences become more individualized, they can create a challenge for delivering content to consumers at the highest velocity. Having each paid search, social media, and email marketing campaign add unique query string parameters to requests is critical for tracking the ROI of a company's marketing spend. This pursuit of granular user data can place a stubborn limit on the ability of B2C companies to maximize the benefits of cached content -- particularly in terms of maximizing offload of content delivery. https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/edgeworkers-use-story-creating-high-performing-individualized-campaign-responses Gregory Griffiths https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/edgeworkers-use-story-creating-high-performing-individualized-campaign-responses Sun, 11 Oct 2020 21:00:00 UTC Welcome to the Akamai October 2020 Update - a week of product updates, new features, and innovations. We'll be highlighting a different area of our portfolio each day this week. In today's post, we look at our enhanced edge computing capabilities and how they help developers more effectively and rapidly improve customer experiences on the Akamai platform. https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/computing-at-the-edge Gregory Griffiths https://www.akamai.com/blog/edge/computing-at-the-edge Sun, 11 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC Television remotes have gotten little attention as a potential attack vector – despite being one of the most common household devices you can find. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/wareztheremote-turning-remotes-into-listening-devices JJ Lehmann https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/wareztheremote-turning-remotes-into-listening-devices Wed, 07 Oct 2020 13:00:00 UTC At Akamai, we talk a lot about DDoS attacks. It's because we're pretty good at handling them. We've stopped many of the world's biggest attacks. And, while less common, they get a lot of attention. But we can also stop the world's smallest attacks. And we stop lots of them. It's these smaller attacks that we're talking about today. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/death-by-a-thousand-cuts-nuisance-ddos-attacks-in-the-games-industry Jonathan Singer https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/death-by-a-thousand-cuts-nuisance-ddos-attacks-in-the-games-industry Wed, 07 Oct 2020 04:00:00 UTC As a region, it's very diverse and dynamic, with a lot to experience. Although I'm based in the Beijing office, I have opportunities to collaborate closely with my colleagues in Japan, India, Singapore and Australia. We find synergies and uniqueness in each market, and constantly share ideas and best practices. It's fun, but it's also an enriching learning experience to live and work in such an exciting region. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/my-journey-to-akamai-and-back-wentao-li-senior-technical Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/my-journey-to-akamai-and-back-wentao-li-senior-technical Thu, 24 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC People depend on the internet for just about everything: interacting, learning, transacting, traveling, working, and more. At the same time, the wireless evolution to 4G -- and soon 5G and Wi-Fi everywhere -- has given birth to an era of connected cars, smart sensors, and a multitude of other "things" that are growing rapidly and expanding in utility and scope. Leading network providers see new market opportunities with new business models to monetize new services that combine networks and commerce, including: https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/smart-dns-for-the-new-network-edge Bruce Van Nice https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/smart-dns-for-the-new-network-edge Tue, 22 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC My heritage is Sri Lankan. But, at the age of 15 I moved to France as a refugee, fleeing a civil war. Starting a new life from scratch in France, without speaking French, was certainly an interesting journey. But I was lucky enough to have support from my parents. They lived by the mantra of "when there's a will, there's a way". And that helped get me into the French education system, where I completed high school and University, before moving to the UK to start my professional career in IT. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/how-to-start-growing-and-never-stop-gobi-tarmat-director Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/how-to-start-growing-and-never-stop-gobi-tarmat-director Mon, 21 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC If you told me at the beginning of 2020 that I'd be cycling 250 miles in the remote Upper Peninsula of Michigan, fundraising for an organization called "Climate Ride", and wearing a face mask to go grocery shopping - I would not have believed you. Yet, since March 2020, we've all been living the reality of the Covid-19 pandemic. Social distancing, total lock-down for some, living and working from home, and dealing with a narrowed life experience. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/headwinds-and-tailwinds-cycling-for-climate-awareness-in-a-global-pandemic Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/headwinds-and-tailwinds-cycling-for-climate-awareness-in-a-global-pandemic Tue, 15 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC As JavaScript-based client-side attacks continue to evolve, we see how attackers are getting more sophisticated and employing more advanced techniques. Unfortunately, it has been proven many times that any website partner can be exploited to carry out an attack. In the past month, we witnessed one of the most popular and trusted vendors being used as a credit card data exfiltration vector -- Google Analytics. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/when-hackers-take-advantage-of-your-trusted-vendors Ziv Eli https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/when-hackers-take-advantage-of-your-trusted-vendors Fri, 11 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC The FBI has released a flash warning that thousands of organizations around the world, and across multiple industries, have been threatened with DDoS attacks unless they pay a bitcoin ransom. This ransom DDoS, or RDoS, threat was covered by Akamai's Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) in a Security Alert released on August 17, 2020. https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/unprecedented-levels-of-ransom-ddos-extortion-attacks Ari Weil https://www.akamai.com/blog/trends/unprecedented-levels-of-ransom-ddos-extortion-attacks Fri, 11 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC SQL injections were first discovered in 1998, and over 20 years later, they remain an unsolved challenge and an ongoing threat for every web application and API. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) highlighted injection flaws in its Top 10 lists for both web application security risks and API security threats. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/web-application-and-api-protection-from-sql-injection-to-magecart Renny Shen https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/web-application-and-api-protection-from-sql-injection-to-magecart Wed, 09 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC It's no secret that security threats continue to expand in volume and variety, making headlines on virtually a daily basis. From nation-state attacks, corporate espionage, and data exfiltration campaigns to all-in-one and sneaker bot campaigns, businesses across the globe find themselves dealing with a deluge of inbound threats. The increased amount and variation of threats, and the proliferation of apps being deployed and managed by teams and individuals across the enterprise, can make securing apps and data feel like trying to keep water out of a submerged sieve. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/every-application-should-be-behind-a-waf Ari Weil https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/every-application-should-be-behind-a-waf Tue, 08 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC To attract and retain customers, you must offer an exceptional digital experience. In an increasingly competitive business climate, organizations are fighting to maintain loyalty and keep users engaged online. The cost of switching is low, consumers are transient, and user expectations for how digital experiences should perform have never been higher. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/metrics-that-matter-continuous-performance-optimization Stephen Stierer https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/metrics-that-matter-continuous-performance-optimization Wed, 02 Sep 2020 07:00:00 UTC Akamai is thrilled to have been the lead sponsor for the recent Women's Foundation of Boston Empowerment Webinar for Girls and Young Women: Girl Decoded: An Intimate Conversation with Author Rana el Kaliouby about finding your voice, pursuing education and excelling as a woman in STEM. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/womens-foundation-of-boston-empowerment-webinar-for-girls-and-young-women Tiffany Hogan https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/womens-foundation-of-boston-empowerment-webinar-for-girls-and-young-women Tue, 01 Sep 2020 04:00:00 UTC My parents were first-generation immigrants from India. They worked hard, made Singapore their home and took all and any challenges head on. They have always lived by the simple philosophy, 'to be the change'. It's a philosophy that I try to live too, and in many ways it's what attracted me to Akamai not too long ago. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/becoming-a-comms-and-analyst-relations-leader-rita-aspen-head-communications Rita Aspen https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/becoming-a-comms-and-analyst-relations-leader-rita-aspen-head-communications Wed, 26 Aug 2020 04:00:00 UTC If you work in the video games industry, it's already obvious that security is a challenge, and criminals are a threat. But how much do you know about how the criminal economy works? What actually motivates them? What specific methods do they use? And how do they interact with one another? https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/how-criminals-attack-the-games-industry Jonathan Singer https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/how-criminals-attack-the-games-industry Wed, 19 Aug 2020 07:00:00 UTC Update 08/24/2020 As mentioned below, the Akamai SIRT has been tracking attacks from the so-called Armada Collective and Fancy Bear actors, who are sending ransom letters to various industry verticals such as finance, travel, and e-commerce. In addition to the... https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/ransom-demands-return-new-ddos-extortion-threats-from-old-actors-targeting-finance-and-retail Akamai SIRT https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/ransom-demands-return-new-ddos-extortion-threats-from-old-actors-targeting-finance-and-retail Mon, 17 Aug 2020 04:00:00 UTC The year is 2020, and the Coronavirus has affected life around the world in so many ways. For me, a third-year engineering student at R.V. Bangalore , I was looking forward to starting my internship at Akamai when the pandemic took hold, and suddenly everything seemed so uncertain. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/ruchita-biradar-my-virtual-internship-at-akamai Akamai https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/ruchita-biradar-my-virtual-internship-at-akamai Mon, 10 Aug 2020 04:00:00 UTC How long will you wait for something? That depends on what you're waiting for, of course. But in your daily interactions, think about how many "things" you interact with where you expect the response to be instantaneous -- tapping on mobile apps; logging in and transacting with a retailer or a bank; selecting and viewing content on a streaming media device; interacting with a connected device like a light, doorbell, or even a car; or checking in for a train or flight. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/20-years-of-edge-computing Ari Weil https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/20-years-of-edge-computing Wed, 05 Aug 2020 04:00:00 UTC Over a year ago, Akamai’s threat research team published research regarding a widely-used phishing toolkit we referred to as the “Three Question Quiz”. It’s now time to review the evolution of the toolkit, the associated campaigns that we tracked in the wild, and the potential damage caused by those campaigns in the past year. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/question-quiz-the-forgotten-scam Or Katz https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/question-quiz-the-forgotten-scam Fri, 31 Jul 2020 01:48:00 UTC While we've highlighted both record PPS and BPS attacks mitigated on the Akamai Prolexic Platform over the past few weeks, these attacks are part of a broader trend of increasingly large and complex DDoS activity. We have seen clear indications across the industry of high-water mark DDoS attacks being publicized by multiple vendors. The sheer number of large attacks has been unprecedented. The attacks are also noteworthy for their increasing complexity, illustrated in the number and combinations of different attack vectors. The tenacity of attackers is also increasing -- one Akamai customer experienced 14 separate 100+ Gbps attacks in just the first half of 2020. "What's new is the concept of campaigns. We go back a couple of years, and 'attack' was the right word to use. There were many attacks every single day, but they weren't, in my opinion, campaign-oriented. Some of our more recent ones are campaign-oriented, where the attacker is working in a coordinated way over an extended period of time." -- Roger Barranco, Vice President, Global Security Operations, Akamai Some likely reasons for the rise in attacks are a combination of: The proliferation of DDoS-for-hire tools Emerging botnets (enterprise DVRs, IoT, etc.) entering the scene Plenty of motivating factors across social, geopolitical, and online unrest Quarantine and boredom -- what's a malicious actor supposed to do? Whatever the unique reason of each attack, the result is the same: a security and IT team needs an effective defense. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/large--complex-ddos-attacks-on-the-rise-in-2020 Tom Emmons https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/large--complex-ddos-attacks-on-the-rise-in-2020 Tue, 28 Jul 2020 20:04:00 UTC I joined Akamai Japan in June 2020. Of course, having worked in technology for my whole career, I already knew of Akamai and our strong reputation. I knew it was an intelligent company, with impressive technology, and - above all - a great story that really inspired me. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/the-importance-of-culture-and-collaboration-mayuko-kiguchi-director Mayuko Kiguchi https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/the-importance-of-culture-and-collaboration-mayuko-kiguchi-director Thu, 09 Jul 2020 04:00:00 UTC Since March, the COVID crisis has caused massive disruption to every area of life and work. It has tested us, as individuals and as a business. Akamai has taken a very human-centric approach during the pandemic. Our guiding principle has been to do what is right for the health and safety of employees, customers and partners. I feel proud of this, because when I think about what I'm grateful for, it really does come down to people. I'm grateful to be working for a company that is keeping people connected to the world through technology. I'm grateful to be among smart, immensely resilient colleagues. And I'm grateful to have friends and family who are sticking together. Ultimately, it's the humanity that matters. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/taking-a-human-approach-to-a-global-crisis-by-prasad-mandava Prasad Mandava https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/taking-a-human-approach-to-a-global-crisis-by-prasad-mandava Thu, 02 Jul 2020 04:00:00 UTC On June 21, 2020, Akamai mitigated the largest packet per second (PPS) distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack ever recorded on the Akamai platform. The attack generated 809 million packets per second (Mpps), targeting a large European bank. https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/largest-ever-recorded-packet-per-secondbased-ddos-attack-mitigated-by-akamai Tom Emmons https://www.akamai.com/blog/news/largest-ever-recorded-packet-per-secondbased-ddos-attack-mitigated-by-akamai Thu, 25 Jun 2020 04:00:00 UTC Micro-segmentation is the central IT security best practice response to overly-permissive policies.

The applications in multiple data centers would use the Domain Name System (DNS) to look up the application destination. The DNS system would be set up to with multiple data center locations. This would "round robin" the results between the data centers. If you have four data centers, the customers would get "round-robined" between each data center. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/global-traffic-management-for-cloud-data-centers-and-cdns Barry Greene https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/global-traffic-management-for-cloud-data-centers-and-cdns Wed, 06 Mar 2019 05:00:00 UTC Everyone and everything on the Internet depends on the Domain Name System (DNS) being functional. The DNS has been a common vector for attacks in recent years, and 2019 seems to be no different. Many of these attacks have goals far more sinister than simply taking a company offline or defacing a website; reported attacks include redirecting some or all of an organization's domain to gain access to protected resources, intercept traffic, and even obtain TLS certificates for that domain. Organizations should perform regular DNS reviews and audits.

Any misconfiguration can result in malicious or undesired traffic reaching the application, or worse - legitimate traffic being blocked. In addition, it can result in noisy false positive security events, which can eventually mask real attacks from being detected and blocked. What is Web Security Analytics? Akamai's new Web Security Analytics tool provides a single unified and efficient interface to assess a wide range of security events, perform analysis of events, and evaluate any needed changes in order to maintain an optimal security configuration. For example, customers can use this tool to better: https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/introducing-web-security-analytics Ori Kanfer https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/introducing-web-security-analytics Sat, 14 Apr 2018 13:00:00 UTC Application Programming Interfaces (API) are a software design approach which enables software and system developers to integrate with other systems based on a defined set of communication methods.

I fact, my name has different meanings in different languages. In English the meaning of "Or" is function word that indicate alternatives and in computer coding languages the name "Or" is being used as Boolean operator that enable us to write conditions in our code. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/yes--my-name-is--- Or Katz https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/yes--my-name-is--- Thu, 03 Nov 2016 07:00:00 UTC A leap second and the final end of browser support for SHA-1 TLS certificates will happen and can potentially break software systems and applications. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-end-of-support-for-sha-tls-certificates Erik Nygren https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-end-of-support-for-sha-tls-certificates Wed, 02 Nov 2016 13:00:00 UTC In this report we will share our research on the PhotoMiner’s timelines, infection strategies, C&C servers and provide tools to help detect the malware. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-photominer-campaign Daniel Goldberg https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-photominer-campaign Tue, 14 Jun 2016 13:00:00 UTC Performance tests try to reduce the risks of downtime or outages on multi-user systems by conducting experiments that use load to reveal limitations and errors in the system. Testing usually involves assessing the performance and capacity of systems that were expensive and time-consuming to build. https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/how-to-report-your-performance-test-results-like-a-pro Eric Proegler https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/how-to-report-your-performance-test-results-like-a-pro Wed, 20 Apr 2016 04:00:00 UTC https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/revealing-guardicore-reveal Lior Neudorfer https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/revealing-guardicore-reveal Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:46:00 UTC On the web, every second counts. Service engineers and operations teams are looking for ways to save milliseconds from web pages' load times. One of the simpler ways to squeeze better performance from web pages already using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) is to move the redirection responses from origin to the edge. https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/redirecting-on-the-edge Danny Stern https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/redirecting-on-the-edge Fri, 12 Feb 2016 21:08:00 UTC https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/data-center-ransomware Misha Yaverbaum https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/data-center-ransomware Mon, 20 Jul 2015 11:20:00 UTC With the era of freely available IPv4 addresses nearing its end, I'm pleased to see that 2012 appears to be the year when the IPv6 Internet will finally reach maturity and launch into wide-scale commercial use. For over a decade, the groundwork for the migration to version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) has been built, with changes to operating systems, client and server software, routers, and Internet backbone networks. To-date, however, the availability of IPv6 content and end-users has remained slim with few Web sites being available over IPv6 and with just over 0.5% of global Internet users having IPv6 connectivity that their machines will elect to use. https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/launching-forward-with-ipv6 Erik Nygren https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/launching-forward-with-ipv6 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 01:52:00 UTC In this Akamai FLAME Trailblazer blog post, Rachel Bayley encourages women to step into the unknown and to be their authentic selves. https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/2024/may/keep-your-tech-flame-alive-trailblazer-rachel-bayley Akamai FLAME Team https://www.akamai.com/blog/culture/2024/may/keep-your-tech-flame-alive-trailblazer-rachel-bayley Guardicore security researchers describe and uncover a full analysis of a cryptomining attack, which hid a cryptominer inside WAV files. The report includes the full attack vectors, from detection, infection, network propagation and malware analysis and recommendations for optimizing incident response processes in data centers. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/threats-making-wavs-incident-reponse-cryptomining-attack Guardicore Labs Team https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/threats-making-wavs-incident-reponse-cryptomining-attack Our deception technology is able to reroute attackers into honeypots, where they believe that they found their real target. The attacks brute forced passwords for RDP credentials to connect to the victim download and execute a previously undetected malware, which we named Trojan.sysscan. https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-oracle-of-delphi-steal-your-credentials Daniel Goldberg https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-oracle-of-delphi-steal-your-credentials In the beginning of April, three attacks detected in the Guardicore Global Sensor Network (GGSN) caught our attention. All three had source IP addresses originating in South-Africa and hosted by VolumeDrive ISP (see IoCs). https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-nansh0u-campaign-hackers-arsenal-grows-stronger Ophir Harpaz & Daniel Goldberg https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/the-nansh0u-campaign-hackers-arsenal-grows-stronger Guardicore Labs uncovers a Ransomware detection campaign targeting MySQL servers.
