Overview Akamai's mission is to power and protect life online. Since 1998, Akamai has developed and provided solutions for global enterprises to build, secure and accelerate their applications and digital experiences. As of December 31, 2025, our massively distributed global infrastructure was comprised of core and distributed compute sites, more than 4,300 edge points-of-presence in over 130 countries and approximately 700 cities, and our underlying global network integrated with roughly 1,200 network partners. With this scale and distribution, Akamai has visibility and insight into traffic volumes, congestion, attack patterns, vulnerabilities and other activities across the internet's complex intersections of networks and systems. Leveraging these insights, Akamai offers solutions designed to protect our customers from threats and attacks, along with full-stack compute solutions to build and deliver high-performance, low-latency applications across our uniquely distributed architecture and edge network. Today, billions of people go online to work, learn, shop, bank, communicate and more. We firmly believe that the internet’s role in transforming the way we exchange ideas and information and conduct business is more vital than ever, especially as those interactions are increasingly driven by AI. Our strategy is to help continue to power and protect business online by offering security, compute, delivery and AI infrastructure services with the industry-leading reliability, scale and expertise our customers need to grow their business with confidence.
