  • There’s a significant disconnect in API security right now. In our 2026 study, 40% of C-suite leaders rated their API testing maturity as advanced. Meanwhile, only 28% of the DevSecOps teams — the people on the front lines — agreed. That sort of divide usually leads to under-resourcing exactly where it’s needed most. As AI investment triples and APIs proliferate, that gap becomes a major structural risk.

  • A single third-party exploit can cascade across more than 100 financial services institutions simultaneously. The industry ranks first in DDoS attacks and is the only one in the top five still growing year over year. Read our exclusive global report to see the pressures financial services is under as AI-empowered botnets and hacktivists intensify their focus: https://ow.ly/hsZl50Z1PoT

  • One-size-fits-all AI is no longer enough. AI at the edge starts with choosing the right GPU for your use case and placing that compute as close to users as possible. Reap the benefits of distributed, dense compute at the internet edge, including: • Lower latency • Security applied closer to threats • Real-time responsiveness • Scalable AI ecosystems Because AI performs best when it runs where it matters most.

  • The ANZ Sales & Pre-sales team from #AkamaiAustralia came together for a planning session combining strategy with a great team experience. 💻 A highlight of the event was a “DIY Dinner” with an Aussie BBQ theme, where everyone pitched in to prepare the meal. From grill masters cooking up delicious steaks to teammates connecting in a relaxed setting, it was the perfect blend of collaboration and camaraderie. Great food, great conversations, and a strong start to the year ahead 💙

  • Our #AkamaiAustralia team came together for a delicious lunch at Steerson's Steakhouse, where amazing steaks, sunshine, and stunning harbour views made it a memorable afternoon. 🍽️ And for some, the fun didn’t stop there… the evening continued with a few classic tunes at a nearby karaoke bar! Shoutout to Dave for balancing it all, staying on top of work while still making time for the fun. Now that’s commitment! 👏

  • Sampling, tiered storage, and blind spots aren’t just engineering headaches. They directly increase downtime and slow resolution times. And as AI and edge workloads push telemetry to new extremes, the tradeoffs are getting harder to justify. Modern platform teams are rethinking observability from the ground up, moving away from legacy approaches that weren’t designed for today’s distributed infrastructure. Akamai joined Hydrolix to break down what that shift looks like in practice and how to build a platform that scales without breaking your budget.

  • The API landscape has shifted more in the past year than in the previous five combined. As we navigate the 2026 threat landscape, EMEA enterprises are finding themselves exposed to a critical “protection gap” where innovation is outpacing security. Join Richard Meeus, Senior Director at Akamai, and John Grady, Principal Analyst at Omdia, for an exclusive discussion on June 4. We’re moving beyond standard data to explore why legacy WAFs are struggling and how leading CISOs are re-architecting their defense around unified WAAP frameworks. What we will explore: • A first look at proprietary 2026 EMEA research findings • The shadow API epidemic and its impact on your digital estate • The strategic move toward security consolidation to ensure operational resilience Gain the data-backed insights you need to lead your organization through the remainder of the year and beyond.
