Akamai Technologies, Inc. operates through three primary business segments: Security, Compute, and Delivery. The Security segment, which accounts for the majority of the company's revenue, offers solutions such as zero-trust architecture, web application firewalls, and DDoS mitigation to protect against cyber threats. The Compute segment provides cloud infrastructure and edge computing services, allowing developers to build and run applications closer to end users. The legacy Delivery segment focuses on the company's foundational content delivery network (CDN) services, optimizing the distribution of web and media content globally. Operating a network of hundreds of thousands of servers across more than 130 countries, Akamai serves major enterprises in e-commerce, media, technology, and government. The company's transition from a traditional CDN provider to a comprehensive cybersecurity and cloud computing platform has been a key driver of its recent growth.
