Akamai Managed Security
Continuous Akamai operations, lower cost.
We own the full Akamai lifecycle, from onboarding to 24x7 incident response, so your protection keeps pace with attackers without recurring professional-services invoices.
What we run for you
The full lifecycle, owned end to end.
One team, across India and the US, that knows your applications and your traffic.
Applications, APIs and hostnames
New properties protected from day one, with policies matched to each application.
WAF, Bot Manager Premier, API security
Rules tuned per endpoint for login, payments, profiles and every API that matters.
Rate control, client reputation, network lists
Progressive thresholds per endpoint; high-risk sources challenged; attacker IPs and ASNs blocked fast.
False positives and false negatives
Continuous tuning against real traffic, with granular exceptions instead of switching protection off.
QA, UAT and production deployments
Every policy change tested and promoted through environments, with a record of what changed and why.
Incident investigation, 24x7
Analysts on watch around the clock, from first signal to containment and the post-incident review.
DoS and DDoS
Rate controls alone don’t stop distributed attacks.
Each attacking source can stay below the per-client limit real users also need, while the combined load exceeds all legitimate traffic.
| Traffic | Sources | Per source | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legitimate users | 500 | 20 req/s | 10,000 req/s |
| Distributed attack | 1,000 | 15 req/s | 15,000 req/s |
- Analyse request trends, paths, ASNs, geography, headers and user agents
- Tune rate controls against how your application really behaves
- Detect low-and-slow attacks with request-level analysis
- Mitigate with targeted rules, network lists and emergency measures
- Validate that real customers are unaffected
Response playbook · Digital banking
A supply chain attack, contained in hours.
A compromised third-party script harvested loan and card data, then fuelled credential stuffing. Six controls responded in parallel. Press play, or pick a control.

The hidden cost
What routine Akamai operations cost you today.
A typical enterprise needs 100–120 engineering hours a month for tuning, changes and incidents. At professional-services rates of about USD 350 an hour, that adds up fast.
Move the sliders to match your environment.
- Faster changes
- Fewer false positives
- Stronger protection, without recurring PS invoices
