Generates service revenue from cloud security, content delivery, and distributed compute sold to enterprises and public agencies. A shared global edge network supplies the traffic visibility and nearby infrastructure behind all three offerings, with security generating most revenue and U.S. and international sales roughly balanced.
Provides cloud security, content delivery, and cloud computing services over one globally distributed platform. App & API Protector, Prolexic, and Akamai Guardicore cover web and API threats, DDoS attacks, and Zero Trust segmentation and access. Delivery services accelerate websites, software, and streaming media; Akamai Cloud supplies compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, serverless edge functions, and AI inference capacity.
Uses traffic and threat visibility across more than 4,300 edge points of presence to route content, detect attacks, and run workloads closer to users. Security generates most revenue, and U.S. and international business are roughly balanced. Operations depend on colocated data centers, bandwidth, and relationships with network and internet service providers; privacy, data-localization, cybersecurity, AI, sanctions, export-control, and content rules shape where and how services can run.
