Akamai Hunt is a managed threat hunting service that finds and remediates the most evasive security risks in your environment. It is led by security experts from Akamai’s threat intelligence and analytics teams — and utilizes the data gathered from the Akamai Guardicore Segmentation solution — to search for threats in your network, find and virtually patch vulnerabilities, and harden your infrastructure.
Data from your environment and Akamai’s platform is collected and correlated to surface suspicious activity.
Machine learning and AI process the data to detect threats. Dedicated experts investigate each event for legitimacy.
Detailed real-time alerts provide you with all the information required for insights and mitigation.
The Hunt team assists you in incident response, working closely with your team to remediate issues.
Yes; Akamai Hunt leverages the infrastructure of Akamai Guardicore Segmentation to provide insight into your environment. This insight gets coupled with the security intelligence and data that Akamai has into threat actors and their actions to identify active threats and find vulnerabilities in your network.
Akamai Hunt is a fully managed service that provides cybersecurity monitoring for the most evasive threats and risks in your environment and mitigation assistance for vulnerabilities that are found.
When new suspicious behavior is detected, the security monitoring team will send a notification to your team via the Akamai Guardicore Segmentation portal. In addition, a threat notification is emailed immediately after a threat is detected.
To avoid alert fatigue, the Hunt team only alerts its customers about real threats, completely avoiding false positives. Every incident is thoroughly investigated by the Hunt team before it is sent to the customer. Armed with data collected from a global customer base, our experts maintain a baseline for a “healthy” data center and cloud applications communication, which helps us detect the most impactful threats.
No, Akamai Hunt is completely seamless, requiring no additional configuration or additional agent rollout. You can realize value from Hunt immediately after deploying the first batch of Akamai Guardicore Segmentation agents, regardless of whether you have completed your segmentation project.
Akamai Hunt combines the infrastructure, telemetry, and control of Akamai Guardicore Segmentation with the data that Akamai gathers by delivering much of the world’s internet traffic. Coupled with top talent in the areas of hunting, security research, algorithms, and analysis, the result is an outstanding ability to find the most evasive threats across customer networks.

Visibility of your network flows with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation, combined and correlated with Akamai data and knowledge of threat actors and their techniques, make Akamai Hunt uniquely suited to identify any present threats that may exist in your environment. Once the threats are identified, we can quickly help you to remediate them without disrupting your business.
Akamai Hunt is able to identify vulnerabilities and determine if they are being exploited, or conversely provide you with confidence that none exist. In the event that a formal patch is not viable for an existing vulnerability, we can virtually patch many threats through segmentation policy.
Akamai Hunt can easily find misconfigurations or other issues that can be fixed to reduce the likelihood of issues in your environment.
