Akamai–Fujitsu alliance to combat rising cyberthreat
Akamai Technologies and Fujitsu ANZ have announced a strategic relationship that will help Australian-based organisations to defend against the threat of ransomware and cybersecurity attacks affecting critical infrastructure and digital assets. The move is an expansion on the companies’ longstanding relationship in Japan.
With increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats impacting all industries including the public, financial, energy and healthcare sectors, the relationship will allow ANZ customers to better secure data and critical infrastructure and mitigate cyber attacks. The companies will be working together to highlight the importance of microsegmentation in a modern architecture required to secure hybrid IT environments.
The strategic relationship will see Akamai’s microsegmentation solution bolstered by Fujitsu’s leadership as a managed services provider, backed by the company’s extensive services portfolio across hybrid IT, data centres, cloud and cybersecurity.
Microsegmentation is regarded as one of the fundamental projects in a Zero Trust initiative, alongside Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). With the acquisition of Guardicore in 2021, Akamai has further developed its microsegmentation capabilities, helping organisations reduce the attack surface, better contain breaches and achieve regulatory compliance.
