Akamai Technologies has been named a Customer Favorite in Forrester's Zero Trust Platforms report, receiving high scores in segmentation and control, pricing flexibility, and supporting services. This recognition highlights Akamai's commitment to providing robust security solutions and customer-centric services, which may positively impact its stock performance and market position.

Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM) has been recognized as a Customer Favorite in Forrester's "The Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Platforms, Q3 2025" report. The company received high scores in key criteria, including Segmentation and Control, Pricing Flexibility and Transparency, and Supporting Services and Offerings. This recognition underscores Akamai's commitment to delivering robust security solutions and customer-centric services, which could positively impact its stock performance and market position.

According to the report, Akamai's Zero Trust architecture provides a consistent and pragmatic way to manage risk across increasingly fragmented environments. The platform allows organizations to grant access based on identity and context rather than network location, to contain lateral movement through precise segmentation, and to maintain visibility without introducing operational complexity.

Akamai's pricing structure is noted for its simplicity, with a single contract structure spanning various deployment types. Additionally, the company's supporting services are comprehensive, including full consultative services through to implementation and threat hunting services to support customers well after deployment. This focus on customer satisfaction and service excellence has been highlighted by reference customers who laud Akamai's willingness to accommodate and act on customer feedback.

Ofer Wolf, Senior Vice President, General Manager, Enterprise Security at Akamai, stated, "Our customer-first focus has always been a differentiator, and we believe it is a big reason Forrester named Akamai a Customer Favorite in its '2025 Wave report on Zero Trust Platforms.' We've built a culture around a customer-first approach that delivers solutions that can meet the changing needs of the organizations we protect."
