      Aqua Security and Akamai Forge Strategic Partnership to Secure AI in the Enterprise

      Integrated solution delivers AI defense and prompt validation without code changes

      BOSTON, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aqua Security, the pioneer in cloud native security, today announced a strategic partnership with Akamai Technologies, the global leader in edge and application security, to deliver an integrated solution that provides full-spectrum protection for AI applications from the AI workload to the edge. This collaboration brings together Aquaโ€™s deep runtime defense Secure AI with Akamaiโ€™s Firewall for AI to secure AI applications across their full lifecycle, including prompt validation, AI workload protection, and model interaction monitoring, without requiring code changes, SDKs, or application refactoring.

      As AI adoption accelerates across enterprises, security teams face the growing challenge of protecting dynamic AI workloads from threats like prompt injection, data exfiltration, model manipulation, and toxic output. The Aqua-Akamai partnership addresses this challenge head-on, combining Aquaโ€™s eBPF-based Secure AI runtime protection with Akamaiโ€™s edge-based Firewall for AI to provide visibility, control, and policy enforcement both inside the container and at the application edge.

      โ€œAs organizations embrace generative AI in their applications, securing AI interactions becomes critical. Our integration with Akamaiโ€™s AI Firewall allows Aqua to intercept and inspect every AI prompt issued by cloud native applications, providing a powerful layer of defense against prompt injection, data leakage, and other emerging threats. This collaboration helps customers safely accelerate their AI adoption without compromising security.โ€

      The joint solution enables enterprises to discover and govern AI services across environments, detect prompt-based threats in real time, and protect AI workloads from compromise. With Aqua embedded in the container and the Akamai Firewall for AI monitoring traffic at the edge, security teams can enforce consistent AI security policies and stop attacks whether they originate inside the cloud, across hybrid infrastructure, or at the internet-facing edge.

      Key capabilities of the joint solution include:
      • AI Model and Agentic Service Discovery โ€“ Identify SaaS, managed, and local AI models and services across environments, and track prompt-related ingress and egress traffic.
      • Prompt Defense โ€“ Detect and mitigate prompt injection, hate speech, misinformation, and sensitive data exposure in real time.
      • AI Workload Protection โ€“ Monitor runtime behavior, detect anomalies, and stop attacks such as remote code execution, model tampering, and data poisoning inside the container.
      • Model-Aware Behavior Profiling โ€“ Establish behavioral baselines for AI workloads and detect deviations indicating compromise or misuse.
      • Frictionless Deployment โ€“ Protect AI workloads and traffic without requiring code changes, SDKs, or infrastructure modifications.

      โ€œAI applications are redefining the attack surface and itโ€™s not just about protecting what happens inside the model, but everything around it,โ€ said Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & GM, Application Security at Akamai Technologies. โ€œAs enterprises embrace AI to drive productivity and growth, most still lack the visibility to deploy it securely. Together with Aqua, weโ€™re giving customers end-to-end control across the full AI lifecycle so they can innovate with speed and confidence.โ€

      With this joint solution, Aqua and Akamai are helping customers meet the demands of AI governance, compliance and performance, while staying protected from the rapidly evolving landscape of AI threats.
