Overview
Company
Impact
Profile match
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.
