    Session Title: “Why you need to take a holistic approach to web protection

    Session Synopsis:

    During the session we will discuss why you need to take a holistic approach to web protection and how you implement it.

    We will explore how historically siloed web-protection products, now need to complement each other in order to achieve a seamless, holistic approach to web protection. Organisations across the world are looking for ways to strengthen their security posture with state-of-the-art products and services.

    We will debate:

    • – The current state of the web protection landscape – the roles of WAF, DDoS, Bot management
    • – How the threat landscape is changing and its impact on web protection approaches
    • – Which types of companies in NAMER/EMEA/APAC are highly targeted and why
    • – Why defending against modern adversaries and attacks needs to take a holistic approach
    • – Why WAF, DDoS, Bot management and API security need to be considered together in every web protection strategy
