“The Kona WAF SAAS has worked flawlessly for us for over four years. We transferred to the fully managed service after the Akamai SOCs time and again demonstrated fast and accurate response to threat management that exceeded our own abilities. We boast zero downtime due to cyber attack in complete contrast to our previous experience; many of our sites are attack magnets and under 24×7 attack… according to the logs.” Head of Architecture – MCIT in the Finance Industry.

“Bot Manager delivers advanced bot detection in spotting and preventing the most evasive threats. This tool stops the most sophisticated bots that can harm your business. This tool’s been very helpful for my company as it helps us deal with the issues evolving from account takeover and fraud. This advanced tool uses current detection technology that makes it relevant and efficient.” – CTO in the Manufacturing Industry.

“Bot Manager Premier is a great product against credential stuffing attacks, as well as any automated bot traffic. Comes with telemetry detection injection that inspects user interactions to determine if the user is a human or a bot. Easy to deploy and configure, especially if you already use WAF/Kona.” – Lead Solution Architect in the Finance Industry.

“Akamai is a very professional partner with excellent WAF capabilities. Setup and use of the tools is both comprehensive and easy – which is very rare in the SaaS market. The tools allow for complete control on the customer side with very few exceptions. Pricing is competitive with proper negotiation from client side.” – Head of eCommerce and Analytics in the Energy and Utilities Industry.
