Akamai Firewall For AI Enables Secure AI Applications With Advanced Threat Protection
Akami Technologies, April 29,2025
Akamai's latest solutions use AI to strengthen security while also protecting businesses from AI-driven threats
Akamai Technologies announced Firewall for AI, a new solution that provides multilayered protection for AI applications against unauthorized queries, adversarial inputs, and large-scale data-scraping attempts.
As AI rapidly transforms industries, organizations are quickly deploying large language models (LLMs), agentic AI, and other emerging tools. However, these innovations introduce new security vulnerabilities, including adversarial attacks, model extraction, API abuse, and large-scale data scraping - threats that existing web application firewalls (WAFs) are not designed to mitigate. Combined with other new enhancements such as API LLM Discovery, Akamai Firewall for AI provides customers with a holistic set of AI-driven capabilities.
