Akamai is an American company founded in 1998 out of research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology into distributing internet content across many servers close to users, which created the content delivery network industry. Its servers still deliver a large share of web traffic, but the company now earns more from security products such as denial of service protection, web application firewalling and zero trust access, and from a distributed cloud business built on the Linode acquisition. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts and listed on Nasdaq, it has shifted its identity from delivery vendor to security provider.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

133 of the 133 roles here state no citizenship or security-clearance demand. A role that does says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which companies hire most cybersecurity specialists?

Toss (49), Coupang (20), ENKI WhiteHat (8), Kurly (4), MUSINSA (3).

Which roles count as cybersecurity jobs?

Every role whose work is protecting systems and data - SOC and incident response, threat intelligence and forensics, application and cloud security, authorized penetration testing and vulnerability management, identity and access, governance, risk and compliance, security leadership - at any employer. A role is filed under a specialty when its title names one; a "Cybersecurity Engineer" that names none is a cybersecurity engineer's.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
