AKAM News & Events

Akamai announced that GM Sectec, a PCI-led managed security services company, has joined the Akamai Partner Connect Program. The partnership is intended to help global enterprises simplify the transition to PCI DSS v4.0.1 compliance, govern the emerging agentic digital workforce, and strengthen defenses against ransomware and API-based threats. The partnership integrates GM Sectec's PCI compliance validation and proprietary scope-reduction tokenization with Akamai's advanced security portfolio to deliver a multilayered defense.

Akamai (AKAM) is collaborating with NVIDIA (NVDA) to bring an advanced security architecture into AI factories. The two companies announced an expansion of their security collaboration to bring Akamai Guardicore Segmentation to the NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX storage architecture, powered by the NVIDIA DOCA software platform. The collaboration is designed to layer Zero Trust architecture into the AI factory itself, protecting the data, context memory, and autonomous agents that increasingly run modern enterprises. This novel security integration will enable AI factory operators to enforce workload-aware segmentation, monitor agent behavior, and contain threats at the infrastructure layer, operating at the speed of accelerated computing without taxing the GPU, CPU, or storage cycles that AI workloads depend on.
