Akamai news stories

Akamai Technologies and Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand have entered a strategic relationship to assist organisations in the region.

According to a new observation by Akamai, Australia has experienced a massive spike in WAF Multi-Vector and DDoS attacks.

Akamai has announced a series of new products and updates to existing products across its security and compute product lines, including its entry into the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) market.

Akamai has announced that Forrester has named it a Leader in its 2022 Bot Management Wave report, acknowledging the company’s standout vision.

Attackers increase the volume of attacks, including scraping data, draining customer accounts, damaging site functionality and holding encrypted data ransom.

Cloud infrastructure provider Akamai announced it has secured an agreement to acquire Infrastructure as a Service platform, Linode.

"This builds on Akamai's proven security technologies, introducing new levels of sophisticated, automated intelligence to keep our customers a step ahead of the cyber criminals.”

"From broken authentication and injection flaws, to simple misconfigurations, there are numerous API security concerns for anyone building an internet-connected application."

"By adding Guardicore's leading micro-segmentation products to Akamai's comprehensive portfolio of zero trust solutions, we believe Akamai will be able to provide the most effective way to combat ransomware on the market today.”

"We are observing a remarkable persistence in video game industry defenses being tested on a daily - and often hourly - basis."

"We're addressing this critical need with a highly sophisticated digital fingerprint approach that strengthens protection without placing additional burdens on the end user.

“As opposed to other 'all in one' solutions that can be vulnerable to platform outages, our distinct, purpose-built DDoS solutions are architected to ensure multiple levels of resilience."

The new programme, which partners will migrate into over a 6-month transition period, focuses on enablement through training and certification.

"Akamai is entering a period characterised by unprecedented disruption."

Do not pay the ransom, and do make sure you've got strong DDoS protection, security firms warn.

The new Melbourne scrubbing centre will allow Akamai to continue to meet its aims of having three-to-five times the capacity of the largest DDoS attacks currently recorded.

Edge Cloud will leverage Akamai’s edge platform to streamline and secure data delivery to connected devices and in-application messaging at scale.

“Gamers are a niche demographic known for spending money, so their financial status is also a tempting target.”

Akamai unveiled Edge Cloud, a solution that leverages the power of the Akamai edge platform to streamline the delivery of data to connected devices.

New research from Akamai shows the gaming community is quickly becoming one of the most highly targeted industries for cyber attacks, with hackers largely driven by gaining consumer credentials.

Akamai Technologies has announced it is increasing its commitment to the ‘green’ data center.

Video and streaming services are prime targets for cyber attackers who attempt to conduct credential stuffing attacks, according to new research from Akamai.
