Akamai Enterprise Application Access
Akamai Enterprise Application Access is a cloud-native zero trust network access service designed to secure corporate applications without exposing them to public internet threats. The platform provides identity-aware access control, device posture validation, single sign-on, and secure remote connectivity for internal resources. By replacing traditional virtual private networks with a dual-cloud proxy architecture, it hides backend apps from attackers. The solution empowers enterprise security teams to protect sensitive data and streamline remote worker access efficiently.
What it does
- Secures remote access to internal web apps, SSH, and RDP resources without exposing underlying corporate networks to the internet. - Enforces identity-aware access policies and device posture checks to verify user compliance before granting entry. - Combines single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and threat protection into a unified cloud management console. - Routes user traffic through a distributed edge proxy network to optimize latency and accelerate connectivity globally.
Why it works
Pricing model utilizes scalable enterprise subscription tiers based on protected user license volumes and deployment tiers. Positioned as a modern cloud-native zero trust alternative to complex, vulnerable legacy hardware VPN systems. Technical advantage stems from Akamai's globally distributed edge architecture, dual-cloud proxy isolation, and integrated device posture assessment. Distribution scales globally through Akamai's extensive direct enterprise sales force and established global channel partner ecosystem.
