Strengthen Your Defenses with Managed Security Service

Fast action against security threats is essential to safeguard your brand and revenue, but not every business can do this in-house. Akamai’s experienced team of security experts can proactively monitor your environment for behavioral anomalies, take fast action against any incidents, and deliver actionable intelligence. Akamai Managed Security Service can prevent harmful cybersecurity attacks, such as credential stuffing and distributed denial of service—and detect and mitigate script vulnerabilities—avoiding any impact to the business.

How does it work?

Akamai Managed Security Service maps a security strategy to your business needs that integrates industry expertise and best practices. Our team of dedicated security experts provides 24/7 real-time monitoring for potential threats. If a threat is identified, Managed Security Service responds proactively, stopping security incidents before they can have a serious impact. Following the resolution of an event, security experts will provide you with a detailed incident response report highlighting the attack behaviors and the actions taken so you have full visibility. Akamai’s team will also conduct attack-ready audits, provide security solution tuning recommendations, and deliver monthly summary reports, giving you unmatched insight and knowledge into the global threat landscape and how it impacts your business.

The Akamai Managed Security Service Technical Security Review is a biannual analysis of your existing solution security posture delivered by Akamai’s security experts. The analysis is presented as a comprehensive report, along with recommendations on security posture updates.

The Akamai Managed Security Service Monthly Solution Report provides a summary of security activity, overall security posture, fulfillment, and project updates. These will be provided separately eight times per year and combined with the Customer Business Review in the months those are scheduled.

Akamai is able to collect attack intelligence on a massive scale to provide actionable information that will assist with cyber positioning, hardening, situational awareness, and mitigation.
  • Threat Intel and Common Vulnerability Enumeration (CVE) Bulletins provide you with visibility into threat data and script vulnerabilities so you can mitigate active threats or harden security posture weaknesses before you become a target.

Optimize Your Resources

Many organizations report either a shortage of staff dedicated to cybersecurity or a lack of the broad security expertise needed for proactive monitoring and response, which leaves them vulnerable to attacks. With this fully managed security service, you can consider Akamai an extension of your team and optimize your resources.

Proactive Response to Fast Attacks

Proactive Response to Fast Attacks

Incidents like zero-day attacks require extremely fast response times for mitigation to be effective.
