Enterprise Security Resources

Malicious Domain Blocking and Reporting (MDBR) is now available to public and private hospitals. Learn how this program: Can be implemented in minutes, on existing systems, without additional hardware or software Doesn’t interfere with business as usual and patient care Is proven to be effective against ransomware attacks Provides hospitals with weekly reports summarizing the potentially malicious requests detected

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.

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.

80% of all hacking-related breaches involve stolen user credentials or poor password hygiene. Adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) can help, but most MFA solutions can still be compromised with relative ease. Physical security keys are useful, but come with challenges like management and distribution of keys, replacement for lost keys, and infrequent or lack of patching capabilities. Akamai MFA is a next-generation FIDO2 solution that features a phish-proof authentication factor secured by cryptography. Join this webinar and learn how this solution: Can be quickly and easily deployed using an existing smartphone Provides the highest level authentication security Enables frictionless user experiences Eliminates the risk of phishing and supports the eventual evolution to the passwordless future of authentication

There is no shortage of options to consider for improving your organization’s security posture. However, public sector IT budgets can quickly narrow possible actions. Doing more with less while trying to hold back the explosive growth of novel ransomware is a task that has been assigned to leaders across the country. Choosing the right path means weighing risk against efficacy, effort, and cost. There is no silver bullet to put down the scourge of ransomware, but there is a path forward that can help organizations identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover with as little impact as possible. During this webinar, Brian Dennis, Principal Technologist for Public Sector at Akamai and Douglas Holland, Senior Solutions Engineer at Akamai defined the concepts surrounding microsegmentation and how it is the unsung hero of reducing ransomware risk. Watch the on-demand recording and learn: Why microsegmentation is “unsung” and what projects are traditionally considered first How microsegmentation is helping agencies make strides towards zero trust The anatomy of a modern ransomware attack, and how zero trust segmentation disrupts the chain How to decrease the severity and recovery time of ransomware events that may occur in complex environments Cost and time-effective advancements in host-based segmentation Why not all microsegmentation options are created equal, and what capabilities are required for maximum risk reduction
