🤖 AI innovation is accelerating. So are the risks hiding beneath it. As organizations rush to deploy AI applications, agents, and MCP servers, many are unknowingly expanding their attack surface faster than they can secure it. The challenge isn't just protecting AI. It's understanding what needs protection in the first place. Our latest white paper, Securing AI Applications Begins with Visibility into API Risk, explores why visibility is the foundation of AI security and how organizations can: 🔍 Discover shadow APIs, AI agents, and unmanaged MCP servers before attackers do ⚠️ Identify hidden risks created by AI-assisted development and machine-speed exploitation 🔗 Secure increasingly complex agent-to-agent interactions across internal and external environments 🛡️ Implement layered runtime protection and AI guardrails that inspect every prompt and response ✅ Enable AI innovation without sacrificing security, compliance, or resilience You can't secure what you can't see. And in AI environments, visibility gaps quickly become security gaps. Download the white paper to learn how continuous API discovery and runtime protection can help you build a stronger foundation for AI security: https://ow.ly/EQnq50ZgK2X

🔐 What happens after an attacker gets in? That's a question security leaders need to answer in 2026. As AI-powered threats accelerate and automated exploits operate at machine speed, preventing every breach is no longer realistic. The organizations that come out ahead are the ones prepared to contain attacks before they spread. In the latest Akamai Channel Champions podcast, we explore why an "assume breach" mindset is becoming essential and how Akamai Guardicore Segmentation helps stop lateral movement, reduce blast radius, and strengthen cyber resilience. 🎧 Catch the episode here: https://ow.ly/YoLV50ZgJxV #AkamaiPartners #ZeroTrust #Microsegmentation #RansomwareDefense #CyberSecurity #ChannelPartners

AI agents are reshaping digital experiences, from shopping and content discovery to task automation. But as agent traffic grows, so does the need for trust, visibility, and control. Akamai's new AI Agent Traffic Security Framework helps organizations securely manage AI-driven interactions by combining verified identity, user-linked authentication, trust analysis, edge enforcement, content monetization, and traffic visibility. Built into Akamai Bot & Agent Control and developed alongside ecosystem leaders including Visa, Experian, Skyfire, Auth0, Ping Identity, and TollBit, the framework helps businesses: 🔹 Verify who an AI agent represents and what it's authorized to do 🔹 Distinguish trusted agents from malicious bots 🔹 Apply identity-driven security controls 🔹 Enable secure agentic commerce and content access As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of users, organizations need a trusted foundation to embrace these new interactions with confidence.

💥 Assume Breach. Limit the Blast Radius. 🔒 In 2026, building higher perimeter walls is a losing strategy. With advanced Frontier LLMs executing automated exploits at machine speed, a network breach is no longer an "if"—it's an absolute "when". How are you shifting your clients' security mindsets to survive? In the latest episode of the Akamai Channel Champions podcast, we break down why partners must champion an "assume breach" mentality to safeguard customer networks and capture a massive revenue opportunity. Here is how you can use the "Lobby Guard vs. Vault Door" analogy to reframe the conversation with your clients: The Perimeter Is Broken: Traditional firewalls and EDR act like a security guard in the front lobby—great for checking IDs, but powerless once a threat slips past them. Akamai Guardicore Segmentation (AGS): AGS acts as the internal card-key access and steel vault doors inside the building. The Power of Containment: By trapping attackers where they stand, AGS stops lateral movement cold, limiting the blast radius and containing ransomware up to 21.4% faster than average. 👉 Watch here: https://ow.ly/RPli50ZeAVv Nick Watkins I Jacob Abrams I Adam Mittler I Shivangi Sahu #AkamaiPartners #AssumeBreach #BlastRadius #ZeroTrust #RansomwareDefense #ChannelPartners
