Akamai provides cloud-based web application firewall and DDoS protection solutions for enterprises. Their solutions are easy to deploy, require low maintenance, and receive automatic updates. On-premises WAFs require 3 or more full-time employees to manage, are difficult to manage, introduce latency, produce many alerts, and are vulnerable to DDoS outages. Akamai's cloud-based solutions provide stronger protection, better performance, and freedom from DDoS attacks compared to on-premises alternatives.
