COMMENT: Akamai’s scale of distribution to mitigate attacks at the edge

Akamai is able to mitigate attacks at where they begin instead of at the data centre… we have the scale to mitigate these large attacks from going forward and without impacting delivery of customer applications and while enforcing policy and maintaining delivery SLAs while under attack.

No one else has that scale or distribution.

– Francis Trentley, Akamai’s Senior Director of Global Security & Government Services
