Akamai Technical Academy is a training program designed for people who have an interest and aptitude for technology but may not come from a traditional technical background. Up until now, we have successfully onboarded over 140 incredible people in three Akamai locations: Cambridge (MA, US), San Jose (Costa Rica) and Krakow (Poland).
Malicious actors never rest and have always worked remotely. That simple realization hit home during recent global events. Specifically, Akamai saw an increase in malware traffic of over 400% between March 9 and May 11, 2020 from corporate devices, most of which were being used outside of a traditional office environment.
A few years back the Blue Team of a company asked to be targeted in a Red Team Operation.
That was a really fun, because Rules of Engagement commonly prevent targeting Blue Teams. Blue’s infrastructure, systems and team members are often out of scope, unfortunately.
Blue team infrastructure is a gold mine for credentials, recon but also for remote code execution!
Often companies do not have adequate protection, procedures (MFA, multi-person attestation), monitoring and auditing in place when it comes to accessing data from endpoint agents.
