Akamai Security Experts to Present Five Sessions in Las Vegas at Black Hat USA 2019, BSidesLV, DEF CON 27
Cambridge, MA | July 29, 2019
Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM), the intelligent edge platform for securing and delivering digital experiences, today announced that several of its cybersecurity experts will be presenting at the upcoming Black Hat USA 2019, BSidesLV, and DEF CON 27 conferences in Las Vegas. These speaking sessions will highlight the depth of technical and industry expertise among the Akamai security research and engineering teams.
In addition, Akamai will be exhibiting at booth #1522 at Black Hat where guests can meet Akamai's threat researchers face to face to get advice on how to manage new exploitation vectors, attack types, and vulnerabilities - as well as to explore new tools and see how Akamai uses machine and deep learning models and emerging techniques to detect and defend against the latest threats.
Details for each of the five Akamai security expert talks are as follows:

When: Wednesday, August 7, 10:00-11:20 a.m. PT
Where: Black Hat USA, Mandalay Bay Business Hall (Oceanside), Arsenal Station 10

What: The Economy of Financial Services Attacks

What: The Increasing Sophistication of Bot Attacks: Beyond Fingerprinting Defenses
When: Wednesday, August 7, 2:25-2:45 p.m. PT

What: At Your Service - Abusing the Service Workers Web API
When: Wednesday, August 7, 5:00-5:55 p.m. PT
Where: BSidesLV, Tuscany Suites & Casino, Breaking Ground Track
The Service Workers API is a modern web API that grants web developers advanced capabilities, such as acting as a proxy server, intercepting network requests and improving offline experience as a background service. In the past year, Akamai has witnessed a dramatic increase in usage of legitimate service workers in customer web applications, and Akamai believes this trend applies to malicious service workers as well. This talk will cover new and emerging web based attacks that abuse the Service Worker web API as well as ways to find those attacks and methods to mitigate and prevent them will be discussed.
Who: Sam Erb, senior software engineer, Akamai
What: Hunting Certificates and Servers
When: Friday, August 9, 2:30-3:00 p.m. PT
