Defence in depth

WAF, bot management and DDoS protection layered at the edge — attacks are absorbed before they ever reach your origin.

Zero Trust from the inside

Guardicore microsegmentation and identity-aware access that stop lateral movement when a perimeter is breached.

Compute where users are

Akamai Cloud puts virtual machines, Kubernetes and object storage on the same low-latency network that already serves your traffic.

Cybersecurity & compute

Layered protection, delivered from the edge

We design and operate Akamai's security portfolio around your applications — from the first malicious request at the edge to segmentation inside the data centre — and run workloads on Akamai Cloud where distribution beats centralization.

01

Web app & API protection

Managed WAAP that shields applications and APIs from OWASP-class attacks, scraping and abuse — tuned continuously, not set-and-forget.

02

Zero Trust & segmentation

Software-defined segmentation and identity-aware access that contain breaches and retire legacy VPN sprawl.

03

DDoS, DNS & delivery

Scrubbing capacity and authoritative DNS resilient to the largest volumetric attacks — plus the CDN that made Akamai famous.

Services portfolio

Core capabilities

Security engineering and edge infrastructure as an ongoing practice — deployed through code and tuned against live traffic.

Managed WAAP operations

Policy tuning, false-positive triage and attack-pattern review as a continuous practice, not a one-off deployment.

Microsegmentation

Application dependency mapping and ring-fencing of crown-jewel systems with Guardicore.

DDoS resilience

Runbooks, capacity planning and always-on or on-demand scrubbing matched to your risk profile.

Edge delivery & caching

Offload, image optimization and global caching that cut origin load and user latency.

Akamai Cloud compute

Virtual machines, managed Kubernetes, object storage and GPU instances with predictable egress pricing.

Engagement lifecycle

Our approach

01

Assess

Attack-surface and exposure review across applications, APIs and internal networks.

02

Design

Control architecture mapped to your threat model and compliance obligations.

03

Build

Edge policies, segmentation rules and compute deployed through code, not consoles.

04

Secure

Progressive enforcement — monitor, tune, then block — so protection never breaks production.

05

Operate

Continuous tuning, threat monitoring and incident response alongside your team.

Platform advantages

Why Akamai

The platform that carries a major share of the world's web traffic — and sees its attacks first.

Massively distributed

Thousands of points of presence across 100+ countries put security and content close to every user.

Real-time threat intelligence

Visibility from trillions of daily requests means new attack patterns are recognized before they reach you.

Proven scrubbing capacity

Prolexic has absorbed some of the largest DDoS attacks on record.

Security, delivery and compute together

One platform — and one partner — for protection, performance and workloads.

Predictable cloud economics

Akamai Cloud's flat, transparent pricing avoids the egress-fee surprises of the hyperscalers.

Client value

Benefits at a glance

Smaller attack surface — threats stopped at the edge never become incidents at the origin.

Contained blast radius — segmentation limits what any single breach can reach.

Faster experiences — edge caching and distributed compute cut latency for every user.

Put the edge between you and your attackers.

From a WAAP tuning review to full Zero Trust segmentation, we scope Akamai engagements around the assets you actually need to defend.
