Akamai's EAA solution was also named as the runner-up and Silver winner as the 'Best Innovation in Enterprise Security'.

"There is no longer a need to debate the need for change. Traditional security models relying on network perimeter architectures are inadequate given today’s IT infrastructure and user landscape," said Tim Knudsen, Vice President of Product Management, Akamai. "As Akamai helps organizations move toward a zero trust security model, earning this level of recognition from the Info Security Product Guide selection committee, spanning best in class enterprise secure access solution and in innovation in enterprise security, underscores the peace of mind that our customers have in working with Akamai as a strategic security partner now and in the future."

Akamai Enterprise Application Access (EAA) is an identity aware proxy for accessing and securing enterprise applications. It combines data path protection, single sign-on across all applications, identity, adaptive access, application security, and management visibility and control into a single service at the edge.

Enterprise Application Access is designed to ensure that only authorized users and devices have access to the internal applications they need, and not the entire corporate network. No one can access applications directly because they are hidden from the Internet and public exposure.

Tim Knudsen concluded, "We believe it’s time for enterprises to adopt zero trust security, where trust in the corporate network is no longer inherent, and security and access decisions are dynamically enforced based on identity, device, and user context. Akamai’s Enterprise Application Access solution is key to facilitate this important architectural shift, with the first step being to start eliminating full network access and the VPN."
