In order to thrive in today’s fast-moving and hyper-connected digital economy, your business applications are designed to be highly accessible via websites and APIs by consumers and business partners at scale and speed. However, they also offer an attractive entry point to access valuable data and therefore are the main target of serious attacks.

With modern web pages relying heavily on scripts, bad actors are exploiting scripts as a new attack vector to steal sensitive customer information. Recent script-based attacks such as Magecart have increased in sophistication and are difficult to detect, let alone stop. Increasingly, these web-skimming attacks focus on stealing credit card information and account credentials, damaging your brand and subjecting your organization to substantial fines.

Web applications have increasingly become the heart of an organization’s operations—from public safety to infrastructure, taxes, and voting. They represent a critical link between you and your constituents. While protecting these inbound applications is now an essential part of an agency’s responsibilities, the increasing volume and types of vulnerabilities and attacks—especially to the web layer—strain IT department resources. Akamai Web Application Protector (WAP) provides speed, availability, and security in a simple, cloud-based form from the leader in Web Application Firewalls.

Cyberthreats have evolved and accelerated. Have your defenses? Ransomware, student privacy breaches, and denial of service attacks are widespread. Critical vulnerabilities and attacks are increasingly targeting the web layer, overwhelming IT departments and budgets from small elementary schools to the largest universities. Akamai Web Application Protector is like instantly adding 1,000 security experts to your staff. Akamai, the world’s largest and most trusted cloud delivery company, provides contextual, accurate, and dynamic security without requiring a huge investment in hardware, software, or people.

Enabling secure remote access for some people, some of the time, is challenging enough. Quickly and securely scaling remote access to most or all the campus can seem overwhelming. Akamai Enterprise Application Access delivers secure access to the right applications, for the right people, at the right times. Akamai, the world’s largest and most trusted intelligent edge platform, secures remote access and academic continuity without requiring client software or hardware installation.

Local government employees access a large number of online applications to ensure the smooth operation of their town, city, or county. These applications, such as engineering, tax, accounting and personnel, are often accessed from remote locations—in the field or at home, and must, of course, be secure.

Successfully functioning state governments require that employees, contractors, and suppliers have the ability to access online applications to perform their duties. Access to engineering, tax, personnel, social services, accounting, and many other applications are increasingly done remotely—in the field, through mobile devices, or at home. This is especially true during emergencies and disaster relief efforts, when the need for additional access can rise quickly. Ensuring the right people access the right applications while protecting the network from cyber security threats is essential.

80% of web pages contain at least one third party library security vulnerability. Script threats like web skimming, formjacking, and Magecart attacks can steal data from visitors to your website. Content from third party sources are increasingly becoming major attack vectors for script attacks, which take advantage of compromised web tools you need.   Attendees of this webinar learned how to: Investigate for malicious content Identify compromised third party web tools Protect the data of your web visitors from theft

Privacy breaches, cyber theft, and compromised data are happening more often to more organizations—are your security defenses keeping up? Information sharing and bring-your-own devices significantly increase attack surface, creating a challenging security environment for the budgets and staff of most campuses. Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector adds the extensive and experienced resources of the world’s largest and most trusted cloud security company to your team. Akamai delivers effective security that is contextual, accurate, and dynamic, without depleting your resources or impacting performance.

Sophisticated and targeted ransomware, malware, and phishing attacks are increasing, making schools the second-biggest target for data theft after local governments. How prepared are you for the next attack? Low budgets and limited numbers of technical staff make many schools easy targets. Almost half of all students and staff have at least tried to circumvent security controls. Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector adds the extensive and experienced resources of the world’s largest and most trusted cloud security company to your team. Akamai delivers effective security that is contextual, accurate, and dynamic, without draining your resources or impacting performance.

The headlines are hard to miss—state and local governments are being attacked, systems taken down, and often held for ransom. Government organizations of all sizes face damages from hacktivism and ransomware. There are increasing threats from zero-day malware1, ransomware, phishing attacks, data exfiltration, and command and control servers. Surveys show that many government organizations experience attacks daily, and that many government IT departments struggle to keep up.2 As government organizations increase their use of software-as-a-service applications, direct internet access, mobile computing and the Internet of Things, these threats will only continue to rise.

Amid a surge in the remote workforce, escalating attacks and increased service demand, trust in the security and availability of your services and information is critical.
