Akamai Technologies

Welcome... BACK 😎

The same capabilities that help businesses optimize operations are now optimizing cyberattacks. In this State of the Internet/Security report, Akamai’s Brent Maynard breaks down how modern attacks have become cheaper to launch, easier to repeat, and harder to attribute. Automation and AI have collapsed attack timelines from weeks to hours. The result? • More persistent attacks • Less obvious outages • Higher operational and infrastructure costs Security fundamentals matter more than ever when attackers are operating at machine speed.

Movie Night Recap: Akamai Costa Rica Edition ✨🎬 Friday night was filled with laughs, shared moments, and all-around good vibes! Nachos, hot dogs, and sweets kept everyone fueled as we settled in for a cozy movie night. 🍿 With a diverse lineup of movies, it was all about choosing the vibe that matched your Friday energy, and no matter the pick, the community spirit made it special. Thanks to everyone who joined us, can’t wait for the next one!

The “AI pilot” era is over. Now comes the “production” challenge. As organizations scale GPU-accelerated workloads — from AI inference to real-time analytics — traditional centralized infrastructure is becoming a critical bottleneck. In 2026, raw performance alone isn’t enough. Success is now determined by reliability, resiliency, and geographic distribution. If your GPU workloads aren’t “always-on,” your revenue-critical applications are at risk. In our latest on-demand session, Akamai’s Joseph Glover (Field CTO — Cloud Computing) breaks down the engineering required for global, resilient GPU availability. Key takeaways: • Design for Resilience: Building “always-on” frameworks for AI • Slash Latency: Moving compute closer to the point of interaction • Scale with Confidence: Shifting from fragile pilots to robust production services Watch the on-demand session today: https://ow.ly/omyu50YLlui

AI bot activity surged by 300% in 2025, and the media industry now ranks second globally for AI bot traffic. Within that category, publishing accounts for the largest share. AI crawlers collect content to train models, while AI fetchers retrieve information in real time to answer user queries. Together, they are changing how audiences discover information online. Our latest research explores what this trend means for publishing organizations and how they can respond. Explore the findings: https://ow.ly/MNne50YKwk9

As AI adoption accelerates, organizations must rethink how and where it runs. In the latest episode from our Cloud and AI Insights from MWC and 4YFN 2026 series, we explore emerging trends from 4YFN and the Mobile World Congress and show how edge-enabled AI is transforming cloud architecture, performance, and data sovereignty. Key takeaways: • Which cloud and AI trends are shaping the industry • How edge AI is redefining application architecture and performance • How to scale AI while maintaining control, compliance, and flexibility Watch the session on demand to explore the future of AI at the edge: https://ow.ly/VlS950YCwYb

Akamites in action at MIT 👏 Anna Desousa and Nat Werth from Akamai’s Emerging Talent team connected with incredible students at MIT Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP) career fair, a program that helps undergraduates explore career paths and connect with industry. One big takeaway: The next generation of engineers isn’t waiting to learn AI on the job. Students are already studying and building in AI and distributed computing as core parts of their degree programs. The future of engineering is already here, and it’s exciting to see. 👩🏻💻👨🏽💻

Internet-scale attacks are entering a new phase — larger, faster, and harder to detect. In this on-demand webinar, Akamai experts explore how botnets like Aisuru and Kimwolf are using residential proxy networks to amplify attacks and blend into legitimate traffic.
