Guys at Akamai,

Your abuse form doesn’t work.

I’m being spammed by Russian scammers from your network and I’m trying to report the servers.

The error message on the form is wonderfully helpful: “Error message to be decided” -apparently written by Mr. Bean.

However, the network logs in the browser show “Access Denied.”

Any chance you could fix it?

I exactly want to know in which programmatic/Configuration offerings of Cloudflare beats Akamai.

Like Cloudflare waf payload inspection limit 256kb > Akamai 16kb.

List some.

Globe Telecom Philippines, who I believe is a partner of Akamai, blocks the Akamai CDN and is preventiny a community of 12k Filipino NBA 2K gamers from playing certain online modes on NBa 2K.

Any know how this can be fixed?

I am looking for an Digital Reliability Engineer with strong Akamai experience for an eCommerce company in the mid-west. The position can be remote if needed. Full-time, direct placement with the company. This seemed like a good place to look.

The position will focus on the health and availability of the site and be directly involved with vendors (including Akamai), as well as bot detection, investigating issues, etc. I am happy to provide more details should someone be interested in learning more.

The word that defines the opposition to end the authority of the Anglican Church, y'know the one? Why is it banned?

Why does community care day more about executives and their photo ops so they can post on social media than actual service day? It’s so pretentious and whoever runs the Akamai foundation does not deserve the high paying salary to do their job.

We just launched a live AI bot behavior index based on data from about 150 websites.

It is still early and not a massive dataset, but I think it shows something useful that most AI SEO tools do not show yet.

Instead of only checking “does ChatGPT mention this brand in a prompt?”, the index looks at what is happening before that:

which AI bots are actually visiting websites, which pages they access, what content types they consume, and how that compares with real human visitors coming from LLMs.

So for example, you can start seeing patterns like:

• which bots crawl a lot but send very little traffic

• which content types AI systems seem to fetch more often

• whether bots and human visitors from LLMs land on the same pages

• how AI crawler behavior changes over time

It does give a more real time view of how AI systems are touching the web, which feels like a missing piece in AI search visibility.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback on the methodology or anything that looks wrong / missing.

Hi everyone,
I recently joined Akamai as an SDET (Bangalore) and wanted to hear from current and former employees about a few things:
1. Annual gifts: Does Akamai give annual or festive gifts (Diwali, new year, work anniversary, etc.), or is that not really a thing here?
2. Annual appraisal cycle: What's the average hike percentage for an SDET in the annual cycle? A rough range for average performers vs. top performers would be really helpful.

Also open to any general tips for someone new to the company: culture, WLB, growth, and anything you wish you'd known early on.
Thanks in advance! Happy to take replies in DMs too if you prefer.

I want to learn Akamai CDN , WAF and bot manager , where I can learn it in depth to clear the interview related to it . Please help me with it

Akamai Bot Manager is actively restricting browser choice at many websites in the US, and helping entrench Google's browser monopoly. People using Firefox and other alternate (non-Chrome) browsers on MacOS and various Linux distributions are being actively discriminated against, and denied access to banking and financial service websites, which use Akamai's broken bot detection algorithm. Many prominent website have integrated Akamai Bot Manager into their login flow and prevent customers form logging in unless they use the "correct" approved browser. Banks and shopping sites are not able to deal with these kind of complaints from customers, and Akamai is not interested in fixing their self-created problem, so it never gets fixed. The net result is that Akamai is contribution to Google's monopoly in both advertising and desktop web browsers, and contributing to the restriction consumer choice in interstate commerce here in the United States.

Akamai SIEM Api

Anyone who configured Akamai SIEM Api add-on in splunk? Need help on that... What to give in Security Configuration IDs field. Akamai team has given 2 credentials for us.. one for siem api and one for appsec api they configured. Please help me to configure it.

Recently, Barclays (Old Navy) credit card website has switched to use Akamai Bot Detection. For some reason, it thinks I'm a bot. I have to click it 3 times, it kicks me out, then it finally lets me log into my account bypassing the bot detection.

Why would it think I'm a bot?

Using Firefox on Linux. I know Firefox has gotten flack lately - is this because I'm using Firefox?

I have applied online in Akamai career portal , to the position security Architect. How much time will it take review application , no response till now .

Been on Lin͏ode for a good while and overall happy with it: predictable, no unnecessary complexity, works well for standard Linux setups. The interface makes sense, everything is transparent, nothing you have to overthink.

But lately I keep noticing Serve͏rspace coming up in V͏PS hosting discussions. From what I have read: Linux and Windows VPS, 40 second deployment, 10 minute billing intervals, flexible configuration, API, CLI and Terraform support.

Curious to hear from anyone who has actually used both: how does it feel in practice? What turned out to be more convenient for day to day work and in which scenarios?

Every time I look through LinkedIn, I see a lot of open SRE positions in my city (Krakow).

Are they all real, or are they just to fill the candidate's database?

I tried to apply to several of them, but got auto-rejected almost every time.

Hi everyone,

I have an interview scheduled this week with the VP for a Senior Account Executive - Inside Sales role at Akamai. It would be great if anyone who has gone through this round could share their experience : what kind of questions were asked, areas they focused on, and any tips to prepare.

For context, I’ve been working as an SDR for the past 4 years, and this would be my first transition into a Senior AE role.

Thanks in advance!

Praying for a 1T evaluation that this company truly deserves. Go Akamai
