Fortunately, financial services organizations can leverage the security strategies and best practices detailed in this report.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AI-Empowered Botnets and API Visibility Gaps: Attack Trends in Financial Services also includes: data-supported trends on criminal activity, a guest column by the CISO of FS-ISAC, a security spotlight on MITRE capabilities, a cloud spotlight on the differences among AI architectures, and practical DNS and DDoS attack mitigation strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Now in their 12th year, Akamai\u2019s SOTI Security reports continue to offer critical insights on cybersecurity trends and web performance, drawn from attacks viewed across Akamai\u2019s cybersecurity protective infrastructure, which handles a significant portion of global web traffic.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Akamai<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Akamai is the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online.
