Akamai Technologies, Inc. announced on November 19, 2024, that it is extending its Guardicore Segmentation solution to support agentless enforcement for cloud-native resources in Amazon Web Services (AWS). This expansion further enhances Akamai's existing capabilities in cloud environments, providing seamless microsegmentation for multicloud and on-premises setups, now with agentless support for Platform as a Service (PaaS) resources across Azure and AWS.
Leveraging Guardicore Segmentation in the cloud helps organizations address challenges such as a lack of visibility into application behavior, the need to configure disparate security policies across cloud providers, and governance issues between DevOps and SecOps teams. This is critical given that nearly one-third of cybersecurity breaches involved ransomware or extortion, according to the Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report.
Additionally, Akamai added new features to its Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) product, Akamai Enterprise Application Access, aimed at enhancing application performance and providing a superior user experience. These updates utilize Akamai Connected Cloud's edge delivery and distributed cloud compute capabilities to deliver fast and secure access to applications for employees, whether in the office or remote.
