Akamai puts WAF protections into AWS Marketplace
Akamai is making its Web Application Firewall (WAF) protections available natively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances through the AWS Marketplace. This allows Akamai customers to deploy Akamai WAF directly on their AWS cloud infrastructure.
Key Takeaways
- Akamai WAF is now available natively on AWS instances through AWS Marketplace.
- The deployment option is available to Akamai customers using Amazon Web Services infrastructure.
- The launch is positioned as a way to apply WAF protections directly inside AWS cloud environments.
Why It Matters
Akamai’s WAF is now available through AWS Marketplace, which means customers can deploy the service on AWS instances without leaving that environment. For streaming and other cloud-heavy video stacks, that puts application-layer protection closer to existing infrastructure rather than outside it. The competitive signal is straightforward: Akamai is packaging its security product for native use inside AWS, tightening distribution where many workloads already run. The concrete signal to watch next is whether Akamai expands additional security offerings beyond WAF on AWS Marketplace.
