Insights
Akamai's recognition as a Leader in Forrester's Microsegmentation Solutions Wave underscores its strong position in the cybersecurity market. The company's highest possible scores in key criteria such as flow and asset discovery, policy management and ZTNA integration highlight its technical prowess. The integration of microsegmentation with ZTNA, multi-factor authentication and threat hunting in a single agent is a significant differentiator.
The introduction of AI-powered features for simplifying user experience and streamlining workflows could potentially increase adoption rates and improve the platform's effectiveness. However, the real test will be in the practical implementation and customer satisfaction over time. While this recognition is positive, investors should also consider Akamai's financial performance and market share growth in the broader cybersecurity sector to fully assess its impact on the company's valuation.
Forrester's statement that "We're living in the golden age of microsegmentation" signals a growing market opportunity for Akamai. The company's consistent leadership position in consecutive Forrester Waves indicates sustained product excellence and market relevance. With cybersecurity concerns escalating globally, Akamai's robust offering could translate to increased market share and revenue growth.
However, investors should note that the microsegmentation market is competitive, with 11 vendors evaluated. Akamai's ability to maintain its leadership and convert it into tangible financial gains will be crucial. The report's mention of Akamai's "steady stream of innovations" suggests a strong R&D pipeline, which could be a key differentiator in this fast-evolving sector. Keep an eye on Akamai's customer acquisition rates and revenue growth in the Enterprise Security segment in upcoming financial reports.
Report states: "We're living in the golden age of microsegmentation"
The report notes, "Today's solutions can quickly tighten your security posture by blocking risky ports and applying other broad horizontal security policies."
Forrester writes that "Akamai Guardicore shows off true innovation with ZTNA integration and multifactor." The report goes on to state that "Akamai Guardicore was a Leader in the previous Forrester Wave on microsegmentation as well. Since then, the vendor has released a steady stream of microsegmentation-related innovations like multifactor segmentation, as well as integrations with the parent company's ZTNA solution, DNS firewall, and threat intelligence (Akamai Hunt)."
The Akamai Guardicore Platform simply and efficiently enables Zero Trust through a single agent that fully integrates microsegmentation, ZTNA, multi-factor authentication, DNS firewall, and threat hunting. Furthermore, Akamai updated the microsegmentation component with a host of improvements designed to streamline workflows and enhance security postures, including new AI-powered features designed to simplify the user experience. These include multi-factor segmentation that recognizes authentication checks as part of microsegmentation rules, essential policy that enables quick implementation of researched and best practice–based policies, and integration of worksites to allow scoped delegation.
"For us, being recognized as a Leader in the Forrester Wave is a testament to our commitment to our customers, and validates the hard work and dedication of our team," said Pavel Gurvich, Senior Vice President, General Manager, Enterprise Security at Akamai. "We are honored to be acknowledged as a leader in this evaluation and remain committed to keep pushing the boundaries to help our customers achieve their goals."
