CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the world's largest and most
trusted cloud delivery platform, today announced that several of
its security experts will be presenting at the Black Hat Europe
2017 conference this week in London. Black Hat is the most technical and
relevant global information security event series in the world. For
more than 18 years, Black Hat has provided attendees with the very
latest in information security research, development, and trends in
a strictly vendor-neutral environment. The conference is taking
place December 4-7 at ICC Capital
Suite, ExCeL London.
On December 7, Akamai's Security
Data Analyst, Elad Shuster will
discuss "Passive Fingerprinting of HTTP/2 Clients".
HTTP/2 is the second major version of the HTTP protocol. It
changes the way HTTP is transferred "on the wire" by introducing a
full binary protocol that is made up of TCP connections, streams,
and frames, rather than a plain-text protocol. Such a fundamental
change from HTTP/1.x to HTTP/2, means that client-side and
server-side implementations have to incorporate completely new code
in order to support new HTTP/2 features. During this talk, Elad
will introduce nuances in protocol implementations, which, in
return, might be used to passively fingerprint web clients.
What: Passive Fingerprinting of HTTP/2 Clients
When: December 7, 3:15-4:15 p.m. GMT
Where: ICC Capital Suite, Level 3, Room A
Also on December 7, Akamai's
Senior Enterprise Architect Brent
Maynard and Solutions Architect Sonia Burney will present "Becoming You: A
Glimpse Into Credential Abuse".
In recent years, security threats have exponentially increased,
as have the potential solutions to detect and mitigate credential
stuffing. The question often is, where in the workflow to deploy
respective detection and mitigation strategies that are risk averse
while maintaining efficacy. In this talk, Brent and Sonia will
discuss how to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities using CDNs or
existing back end platform architecture.
What: Becoming You: A Glimpse Into Credential Abuse
When: December 7, 4:30-5:00 p.m. GMT
Where: ICC Capital Suite, Level 3, Room B
