Akamai Technologies Inc. announced on June 3, 2025, the introduction of Akamai DNS Posture Management, an industry-first solution offering unified, multicloud visibility over all DNS assets. This agentless solution provides real-time monitoring and guided remediation across all major DNS providers, including Akamai Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. It is designed to help security teams quickly detect and respond to DNS-based attacks, certificate security risks, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations. DNS plays a critical role in network operations, making it a frequent target for cyberattacks. Large organizations often manage multiple DNS systems from different vendors, leading to complexity in ensuring proper configuration, functionality, performance, and security. Akamai's solution addresses this by automating compliance assessments and integrating findings into incident management, which is crucial for maintaining security and efficiency. Akamai DNS Posture Management delivers essential compliance capabilities, meeting regulatory requirements such as NIST, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, thereby reducing compliance costs. It also integrates a Certificate Monitor to identify and prevent risks from expired, misconfigured, or rogue certificates. An optional Managed Security Service is available to enhance internal teams with global, scalable, 24/7 security expertise.
