🎙️✨ New Episode!
A Brand Story from the Road to #RSAC 2025 — Featuring Akamai Technologies

Every year, as we get ready for RSA Conference, we fire up the engine and the mics—not just to cover the #tech, but to capture the #business, the strategy, and most importantly, the human side of #cybersecurity.

Our latest Brand Story does just that.

In this pre-conference conversation, we sit down with Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & GM of Application Security at #Akamai, to talk about the shifting cybersecurity landscape as we move deeper into the #AI era. From #APIattacks and #LLM scraping to hybrid infrastructures and #zerotrust environments, it’s clear that security is no longer just a barrier—it’s a business enabler.

And Akamai is right at the center of that transformation.

We explore what it means to build real #cyberresilience, how organizations can rethink their security strategy in an AI-driven world, and why this year’s #RSAC2025 Conference is set to be a defining moment for both innovation and trust.

🫶 A special thank you to Akamai for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage and continuing to support conversations that matter.

👉 #APIattacks have grown in triple digits in the last two years.

After all, 71% of the internet traffic comes from APIs so APIs have become soft targets for hackers.

Securing APIs is a simple workflow provided you find API specific vulnerabilities and protect them.

In the upcoming webinar, join Vivek Gopalan, VP of Products at Indusface as he takes you through the fundamentals of API vulnerability scanning.

Vivek will discuss how to :

- Scan API endpoints for OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities
- Perform API penetration testing for business logic vulnerabilities
- Prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities with AcuRisQ
- Workflow automation for this entire process

👉 Join Karthik Krishnamoorthy, CTO and Vivek Gopalan, VP of Products at Indusface, in a live #API attack simulation. 🔓

In this session, they will cover:
- An exploit of #OWASP API Top 10 vulnerability
- A brute force #ATO (Account Takeover) attack on an API
- A #DDoS attack on an API
- Positive security model automation to prevent #APIattacks

☝️ Just 1 day to go!

Join this live #DDoS attack simulation with Karthik Krishnamoorthy, CTO at Indusface, as he demonstrates a wide variety of attacks and mitigation measures.

He’ll demonstrate:

- The limitations of host-based rate-limits

- Building multi-pronged mitigation measures ranging from alerts to captchas to blocks

- Preventing #ddosattacks on #APIs

- How Unmetered DDoS mitigation works

👉 #DDoS attacks have increased by 75% in Q2 2023 - State of AppSec Research by Indusface.

Launching a 1-hour DDoS attack costs only a couple of dollars on the dark web.

So, how does one fortify defences to ensure app and #API availability in case of an attack?
