Akamai Hunt
Hunt the most evasive threats on your network.
Security monitoring for your environment
Akamai Hunt is a managed threat hunting service that finds and remediates the most evasive security risks in your environment. It is led by security experts from Akamai’s threat intelligence and analytics teams — and utilizes the data gathered from the Akamai Guardicore Segmentation solution — to search for threats in your network, find and virtually patch vulnerabilities, and harden your infrastructure.
How does it work?
Hunt is used in conjunction with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation. It collects and correlates data from your environment and Akamai’s platform to surface suspicious activity that other tools miss. Dedicated security experts investigate these events to ensure that your team is not bogged down by false positives. Detailed real-time alerts provide you with all the information required for insights and mitigation. The Hunt security teams assist you in incident response by working closely with your team to remediate any compromised asset for a fast response.

Hunt Use Cases
Learn how Hunt can help eliminate present security threats, virtually patch CVEs and harden your IT environment.
Eliminate present security threats
Visibility of your network flows with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation, combined and correlated with Akamai data and knowledge of threat actors and their techniques, makes Akamai Hunt uniquely suited to identify any present threats that may exist in your environment. Once the threats are identified, we can quickly help you to remediate them without disrupting your business.
Virtually patch CVEs
Akamai Hunt is able to identify vulnerabilities and determine if they are being exploited or conversely provide you with confidence that none exist. In the event that a formal patch is not viable for an existing vulnerability, we can virtually patch many threats through segmentation policy.
Harden your IT environment
Akamai Hunt can easily find misconfigurations or other issues that can be fixed to reduce the likelihood of issues in your environment.
