Through this partnership, Akamai and Trustwave plan to make available to their respective customers select technology solutions and security services from each company’s portfolio.
The strategic relationship is intended to allow both companies to provide a broader set of cyber security protections to meet a wide range of customer requirements in a constantly changing cyber security threat landscape.
Akamai will offer Trustwave Managed Security Testing to better help businesses find and fix vulnerabilities across their database, network and application assets through the cloud-based Trustwave TrustKeeper platform.
Trustwave will offer Akamai’s managed DDoS protection services as part of the Trustwave portfolio of managed security services. Akamai’s DDoS protection and mitigation capabilities are intended to keep web sites and applications available, even in the midst of today’s modern web attacks.
Akamai will offer Trustwave Incident Response and Readiness services delivered by Trustwave SpiderLabs, a team of more than 150 ethical hackers, forensic investigators and researchers who conduct hundreds of data breach investigations per year.
The service includes on-call responders and results in an actionable, tested plan to detect, triage and contain a breach.
Trustwave will augment its existing web application firewall (WAF) portfolio, which currently includes both a managed WAF service and on-premises product, by offering Akamai’s cloud-based Kona Site Defender for businesses that prefer a cloud deployment option.
Akamai and Trustwave intend to co-develop Trustwave managed service offerings for the Akamai Kona Site Defender and WAF products. ■
