The Developer Cloud Simplified
The Akamai Intelligent Platform is a cloud platform for delivering secure, high-performing user experiences to any device, anywhere. It reaches globally and delivers locally.
Enterprise Application Access is a unique cloud architecture that closes all inbound firewall ports, while ensuring that only authorized users and devices have access to the internal applications they need, and not the entire network. No one can access applications directly because they are hidden from the Internet and public exposure. Enterprise Application Access integrates data path protection, single sign-on, identity access, application security, and management visibility and control into a single service.
Akamai Site Shield is a security solution designed to protect web applications by concealing origin servers from direct internet access. By routing all incoming traffic through Akamai's globally distributed network, Site Shield ensures that only legitimate requests reach the origin, effectively mitigating threats such as Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks and other malicious activities. Key Features and Functionality: - Origin Cloaking: Removes web applications from publicly accessible IP address space, preventing attackers from targeting the origin directly. - Traffic Routing: Ensures all client requests are directed through Akamai's Content Delivery Network , allowing for inspection and mitigation of potential threats before they reach the origin. - Stable CIDR Blocks: Utilizes a defined set of IP subnet ranges to route traffic, reducing the operational overhead associated with frequent firewall ACL updates. - Integration with Akamai Security Solutions: Works seamlessly with other Akamai cloud security technologies, such as Kona Site Defender, to provide a comprehensive defense strategy. Primary Value and Problem Solved: Site Shield enhances the security posture of organizations by preventing attackers from bypassing cloud-based defenses and directly targeting application origin servers. By cloaking the origin infrastructure and consolidating connections through Akamai's network, it reduces the risk of DDoS attacks and other malicious activities, ensuring uninterrupted service availability and improved performance for end-users.
