Content delivery networks have a legitimate claim to owning 'the edge' because they already reside there physically at global scale and they already provide a variety of services outside the cloud. Most major CDNs are now billing themselves as edge platforms; market leader Akamai is no exception, putting particular emphasis on security features and DevOps capabilities.
At the recent Akamai Edge World user conference, the vendor emphasized that its security business is growing roughly 30% year over year. Keynote addresses featured security topics, highlighting that Akamai has big strategic ideas for security as it transforms its view of the cloud to services at the network edge.
At its recent ENGAGE 19 customer conference, the company described its vision for delivering a unified system for collecting wire and other data that customers can employ to power both security and monitoring use cases.
The security industry is retooling with analytics to proactively find threats inside the infrastructure, reduce the downtime between compromise and detection, and help security operations respond to alerts. Machine learning analytics embracing IT, network and security data sources is driving new approaches to security operations. A prime example is the powerful acceptance of SIEM in cloud architectures.
Security teams cannot protect what they cannot see. Rapid7 has purchased NetFort for its visibility into network- and cloud-based datacenter operations. NetFort should augment the acquirer's InsightIDR, InsightVM and InsightConnect security operations products.
The company is utilizing its capacity for large-scale analytics and data storage in launching its customer preview of Microsoft Azure Sentinel, a new hosted security information and event management offering.
