Normalised provider profile

Akamai

(T)

Akamai Technologies combines cloud computing, cybersecurity and content delivery. API Security inventories and monitors interfaces; App & API Protector protects web applications at the edge. Guardicore Segmentation limits lateral movement in hybrid IT environments. Prolexic addresses infrastructure DDoS attacks, while Edge DNS and Shield NS53 support DNS availability and protection. Ion accelerates digital applications and offloads their origins. Bot Manager governs automated access; complementary account and content controls are separate product components. Workforce Protector, formerly LayerX, protects AI and SaaS interactions in the browser. Akamai Cloud and Inference Cloud provide CPU/GPU compute, Kubernetes, storage and routing for distributed applications and AI inference; GPU regions, capacity and additional services require workload-specific assessment. Selection depends on data flows, latency, existing cloud and security architecture, integrations, operational responsibilities and contractual SLAs. The MuleSoft integration connects API security intelligence with API and agent governance; announced extensions must be distinguished from available features. The September 2026 Anthropic agreement concerns CPU workloads and does not establish generally available GPU capacity.
