CAMBRIDGE, Mass., February 19, 2013 Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading cloud platform for helping enterprises provide secure, high-performing user experiences on any device, anywhere, is showcasing its distinctive web security solutions and expertise at RSA Conference 2013, which will be held in San Franciscos Moscone Centre from February 25 - March 1, 2013.

Live Demonstrations of Kona Site Defender
Throughout the event, Akamai will host live demonstrations showcasing how the latest version of Kona Site Defender can protect web sites and applications from a variety of attack vectors, including SQL injection, cross site scripting, and distributed denial of service (DDoS). Akamai will host two identical web sites on public cloud infrastructure, one of which is protected by Kona Site Defender. Real-time analytics provided by Kona Site Defenders Advanced Security Monitor will show the result of live attacks launched from the Akamai booth on both the protected and unprotected sites.
During the course of the event, Akamai security experts will be on hand to discuss the ways in which web attacks have continued to transform over the past 12 months and the challenges associated with defending against an ever-evolving attack landscape.
Book Signings with Bruce Schneier
Renowned security technologist and author, Bruce Schneier, will be on hand in the Akamai booth to sign copies of his 2012 book, Liars and Outliers: Enabling the Trust Society Needs to Thrive, which investigates how trust works - both in business and society as a whole - how it is often betrayed, and the degree to which technology intersects with this complex issue. Mr. Schneier will be available for exclusive book signings in Akamais booth at the following scheduled times:
Tuesday, February 26 4:00 pm PT
Wednesday, February 27 4:00 pm PT
Thursday, February 28 12:00 noon PT
