Akamai Announces Brand Protector to Defend Against Phishing Attacks and Fake Websites

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the cloud company that powers and protects life online, today announced the availability of Brand Protector, a new solution that detect and disrupt phishing sites, fake stores, and brand impersonations. Brand Protector enables organizations to retain and grow customer loyalty while minimizing loss, drops in productivity and bad customer feedback.

According to Google, over 50,000 new phishing websites are created every week. Akamai Brand Protector inspects trillions of digital activities a day across both internal and external sources to discover abuse of an organization’s brand – often before an attack campaign launches. This shields businesses from revenue loss and increased risk by combating fake goods sales, phishing sites and unauthorized use of brand elements outside of its environment and across the internet.

Brand Protector addresses the problem of fraudulent impersonations with a four-step approach:

  • Intelligence: As the world’s largest distributed edge and cloud platform, our proprietary view across the worldwide web traffic analyzes over 600 TB of data a day. The depth of intelligence in Brand Protector is enhanced with third-party data feeds for holistic visibility into attacker actions everywhere.
  • Detection: Today’s brand attacks automate the deployment of malicious, short-lived websites. Akamai Brand Protector traces live traffic to detect brand abuse often before a phishing campaign begins – instead of relying on refreshed lists or delayed feeds. The outcome reduces attack impact, protecting customers and brand trust.
  • Visibility: Customer-centric design gives security teams vital security insight in a single dashboard view. After receiving intelligence, data signals are run through a series of heuristic and AI detectors. Akamai’s simplified user interface provides an instant understanding of real-time threats to customers via impersonations. Findings are ranked by threat score and users click into an alert to view analyzed threat data including confidence score, severity rating, number of affected users and a timeline of attack events.
  • Mitigation: Integrated takedown services help close the loop to combat brand fraud. Brand Protector enables security teams to issue a takedown request of the abusive site right in the detection screen. Takedown requests for Brand Protector automatically attach the detection’s evidence and supporting details for ease of use.

“Attackers are increasingly abusing trusted brand names to lure end-users through phishing and fake sites for the promise of financial gain,” said Rupesh Chokshi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Application Security at Akamai. “Detecting the rapid deployment of these attack campaigns and mitigating them can be a challenge for global brands. Brand Protector retains customer loyalty and revenue by addressing these external attack campaigns before they can gain momentum.”

Huawei Cloud Stack 8.2, The Preferred Choice for Intelligent Upgrade

Huawei Cloud Stack is a trusted on-premises cloud solution. Deployed on-premises, it improves security and compliance. Synchronized with services from the public cloud, it also allows for continuous iteration. Huawei Cloud Stack has been taking three approaches to inspire technological innovation and create new value for more industries:

Three Visions of Huawei Cloud Stack for Innovation

Establish Trusted, Resilient Cloud-native Infrastructure

Robust service resilience is key to cloud migration of all workloads. To enhance resilience of cloud infrastructure, Huawei Cloud Stack provides high reliability, diversified computing power, high security, efficient storage, full-mesh networks, and efficient cloud management.

  • We have provided a range of scenario-specific disaster recovery (DR) solutions, including intra-city active-active and cross-region HA solutions, for automated failover. Plus, DR services and fine-grained DR allow tenants to create custom DR policies.
  • We have designed an end-to-end security protection system consisting of one security operations center and seven layers of protection, which transforms passive response to proactive defense. The system also provides more than 100 detection models and over 50 playbooks. 90% of alarms can be closed in minutes.
  • ManageOne, our intelligent cloud management platform, provides comprehensive management capabilities covering services, operations, and maintenance. Its unique multi-level cloud resource pool management architecture is able to match with intricate organizational structures of enterprises.

Offer Rich Cloud Services to Make Innovation Easier

GaussDB is an online transaction processing (OLTP) database product that provides outstanding performance, reliability, and security. It allows customers to move their core databases to a distributed architecture. MRS provides a high-performance, real-time data lake. DWS provides an enterprise-grade data warehouse service that delivers both T+1 online analytical processing (OLAP) and real-time hybrid transaction/analytical processing (HTAP).
  • In terms of application innovation, Cloud Container Engine (CCE), from Huawei Cloud Stack, is 100% compatible with Kubernetes APIs and provides a one-stop O&M platform to monitor and manage application statuses. ROMA Connect can also be used for efficient governance of data, information, and APIs.

Consolidate Extensive Industry Know-how for Shared Excellence

Huawei Cloud Stack has extensive experience enabling cloud transformation of customers in many industries. We have provided professional services and industry-specific solutions by working with partners to help customers move to, use, and manage cloud with ease.

  • We have released more than 30 industry-specific solutions including national AI cloud, national government cloud, and financial cloud solutions. All of these solutions are pre-integrated and verified on the cloud platform and with partners’ applications. These solutions provide an architecture reference for customers in those industries.
  • We have launched more than 70 professional services, covering multiple phases such as top-level design, implementation, and operational excellence. The services share our professional expertise with customers.

Asia-Pacific Huawei Cloud Stack Innovation Lab

To empower local customers and partners to promote innovation for more scenarios, Huawei Cloud Stack has established an Asia-Pacific innovation lab in Hong Kong, China. The innovation lab will be open to customers and partners and will be used for tasks as diverse as software and hardware verification, POC testing, and talent cultivation.

Accelerate Intelligent Upgrade and Unleash Digital Power for Asia-Pacific Enterprises

Huawei Cloud, constantly innovating by sticking to the vision of “Everything As a Service”, has become a brand trusted by global customers. Backed by the extensive customers and partners, we are now the fifth largest cloud vendor in the world, the second largest cloud vendor in China, and the fastest-growing cloud among the top 5 clouds in emerging markets of Asia.

In Indonesia, Huawei Cloud Stack’s hybrid cloud solution helped CT Corp, one of the local leading groups, deploy a customer data platform (CDP), which reduces TCO by 25% and improves overall business performance by 30%.

In Thailand, Huawei Cloud Stack partnered with Siriraj Hospital, one of leading public hospitals in Thailand, to develop a smart hospital, a hospital that infuses tech advances into nine different hospital scenarios, like AI-powered image reading, unmanned drug delivery vehicles, and 5G-based ambulances.

In China, Huawei Cloud Stack helped Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) deploy a financial data lake with more than 4,000 nodes, the most of any lake in the industry. It moved all of ICBC’s mission-critical applications to the cloud, including those for big data risk control and real-time anti-fraud and anti-money laundering detection.

The Asia-Pacific market has seen a blossoming of digital transformation. It has been imperative for enterprises in the market to dive into cloud innovation. Moving forward, Huawei Cloud Stack intends to continue spearheading innovation, staying focused on industry needs, and joining hands with customers and partners to help enterprises in the Asia-Pacific market accelerate intelligent upgrade and light up a digital future.

The sector is growing faster than many others and it is our priority to enable development of growing technologies like OPEN RAN for higher interoperability through open hardware, software, and interfaces for wireless networks,” shared Tao Duc Thang, CEO of Viettel Group.

In the coming year, Viettel will further promote Private 5G solutions, which are forecasted to have significant demand in the future from a variety of industries. The adoption of 5G networks will catalyse Digital Transformation by offering robust, customizable, and secure next-generation connectivity. As regulations change to offer more room for private networks and the ecosystem matures, such networks will be an increasingly attractive option for smaller organizations.

At MWC 2023, Viettel and Qualcomm unveiled the first look at their working RU built on Qualcomm’s DU chip. The new solutions will help to simplify network deployment at scale, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and enable mobile network operators and enterprises to fully realize and monetize their digital transformation.

“Viettel has a full suite of infrastructure solutions from O-RAN, DU, Core network, Gateways, and more which are commercially deployed and servicing millions of users in international markets. With the high performance and low Total Cost of Ownership advantages Viettel and Qualcomm Technologies are working on, Viettel will realize their ambition of commercializing massive 5G private and public networks with enterprises and carriers around the world.” Said Durga Malladi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cellular Modems & Infrastructure Business Unit, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Trial availability is expected in the second quarter of 2023 and commercial launch is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. In the future, Viettel will continue to join O-Ran Alliance, and further develop the O-Ran-backed chip from Intel and Qualcomm.

“MWC 2023 is about unleashing future technology today. But we need to research and create technologies that can help people reap the benefits of access to digital services right now,” added Tao.

Other strategies that Viettel will strengthen include solutions to address RF interference, improve network KPIs, surgically deploy field assets, and gain insights into spectral efficiency or next-gen smart home Matter protocol.

BARCELONA, Spain, March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — During the Mobile World Congress 2023 (MWC 2023), Huawei launched the industry’s first 50G POL prototype to help industry customers build next-generation Wi-Fi 7 campus networks.

Based on Fifth-generation fixed network (F5G) technologies, the Huawei FTTO solution has been put into commercial use by more than 6,000 industry customers worldwide, enabling customers to build green, simple, and smart campus networks. With cloud computing, big data, and IoT technologies being adopted on a larger scale, and the use of 4K/8K and AR/VR applications in campus scenarios such as enterprise office, education, and healthcare rapidly increasing, the requirements placed on campus network bandwidth, latency, and reliability are higher than ever before.

Kim Jin, Vice President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, said, “Although 10G PON can meet the requirements of most campus scenarios, as more enterprises go digital, new scenarios with higher requirements on network bandwidth and latency are emerging, and campus networks will need to be upgraded. Huawei launched the industry’s first 50G POL prototype to help customers build Wi-Fi 7-oriented green ultra-broadband campus networks that can support innovative applications.”

The 50G POL prototype released by Huawei includes symmetric 50G PON OLTs and ONUs. It upgrades campus networks from 10G PON to 50G PON. This not only allows campus customers to enjoy an ultra-broadband network experience, but also provides the following unique benefits:

Zero change on OLT: The industry’s first 50G PON combo optical module supports both 10G PON and 50G PON modes. Customers can build networks on demand and smoothly upgrade networks to 50G PON in the future, protecting initial network construction investments.

Zero change on ODN: 50G PON supports 40 km long-haul transmission, and uses innovative algorithms to enable industry-leading optical link budgets, eliminating the need to change existing ODNs.

Zero change on ONU: The 50G PON ONU prototype supports 10GE and 25GE interfaces. In the future, the upgrade from Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 7 does not require ONU changes.

In the future, Huawei will continue to work with customers and partners to create even more innovations; enrich application scenarios; build green, ultra-broadband, and smart campus networks; and unleash green digital productivity.
