Overview

Akamai Zero Trust includes both Enterprise Application Access and Secure Internet Access.

Akamai Enterprise Application Access is a Zero Trust Network Access solution offering precise access to private applications based on identity and context. It uses identity-based policies and real-time data such as user location, time, and device security to ensure that users only have access to the applications they need and eliminates network level access. It works seamlessly with Akamai MFA for strong user authentication.

Secure Internet Access Enterprise is a cloud-based targeted threat protection solution. It safeguards your organization from DNS and web-based threats, enforces authentication and acceptable use policies, and audits user Internet access.

Akamai Zero Trust collects logs for both Secure Internet Access (SIA) and Enterprise Application Access (EAA). It also is able to gather collector metrics for SIA.
